While advanced analytics are increasingly used in many fields of management to support not only tactical, but also strategic decision making, steering committee work in transformation programmes is still mainly informed by classical reporting. The absence of transformation analytics is even more surprising as large amounts of quality data are avalable in project management tools – a kind of „digital twin“ of the transformation. We present findings from analyzing problematic transformation programmes, insights how transformation steering analytics are used by pionieering companies, a typology of use cases we derived from those early cases, and discuss promising avenues to improve steering digital transformation.

In this presentation at the Lean Leader Summit, John Hunter will discuss how to successfully implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) in organizations. The focus will be on gaining business and user buy-in, alleviating fears, and emphasizing the importance of security governance and compliance. Drawing on the AI journey and lessons learned from the Council of Europe (CoE), Hunter will share practical strategies and best practices to pave the way for successful AI integration.

The energy transition is in full swing: from reliable, always-on and dirty fossil fuel to volatile but clean renewable energy. Requirements for when, where and how much energy to consume will change and also affect IT. At the same time, the pressure for data center providers to decarbonize keeps rising as IT emissions and energy consumption increase at an unprecedented rate.

This talk will explain why cloud providers alone won’t be able to meet their climate ambitions and what role software and its architecture plays in this. You’ll also learn how the future energy market will affect IT systems and what you can do today to make sure your products aren’t just ready for, but can even profit from this development.

The talk is about the usage of a company-wide, common data model, designed to ensure consistent and accurate reporting across all departments. It shows the standardization of how data is collected, stored, and analyzed, eliminating redundancies and discrepancies that have hindered the decision-making. By leveraging a unified structure, there is improvement in collaboration and enhancements in transparency. With the usage of a common data model, the talk shows how to unlock deeper insights to drive your business forward and it explores how such a framework empowers to make smarter, data-driven decisions and achieve greater organizational alignment.

Customer perspective – employee perspective

An excursion into digitalization over the last 40 years and its effects on our communication foundations in the digital space. Our demographics are changing (today and in ten years), so the endpoints of communication are also changing, especially in the digital world.

Introduction to how do we explain products/services and how could this be presented in simple language. Why is less more for potential customers (employees).

Practical examples & Plenum discussion on the participants‘ own questions through the lecture

Four decades of information technology (IT) saw a transformative journey, revolutionizing businesses across various sectors. From the automation of operations to the digital transformation of business models, IT has played a pivotal role in driving innovation and enhancing efficiency. As technological advancements continue to accelerate, the potential for exponential business opportunities remains boundless.
