Two great topics: Data Warehousing Capabilities – Deploying to Support the Business & AI-Handle Me with Care
Speaker: Peter Aiken
Peter Aiken, Ph.D. is an acknowledged Data Management authority, an associate professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, president of DAMA International, and associate director of the MIT International Society of Chief Data Officers.
For more than 40 years, Peter has learned from working with hundreds of Data Management practices in more than 30 countries. Among his 12 books are the first on making the case for data leadership (CDOs), the first focusing on data monetization and modern strategic data thinking, and the first to objectively specify what it means to be data-literate. International recognition has resulted from these and a (pre-Covid-19) intensive worldwide events schedule.
Peter also hosts the longest-running Data Management webinar series on dataversity.net. Before Google, before data was big, and before Data Science, Peter founded several organizations that have helped more than 200 businesses leverage data – specific savings have been measured at more than $1.5 billion. His latest venture is Anything Awesome.

Whether your data warehouse is in the cloud or not, it nevertheless likely contains lots of well-organized data. Periodically, it is useful to interact with your Data Governance group to reevaluate the relative value of the various collections in the warehouse. More and more organizations are using warehousing as a strategy and focusing less on the actual technology. This program will provide a refocus on warehousing as a capability that: supports BI activities, enables more effective business analyses and decision-making, and provides some contribution to innovation initiatives. What are the capabilities required and how does their operation compare to cloud-based options?
