Starburst Private Roundtable schedule

Questions de la table ronde pour les participants :

Question 1 (Friction) : Où la souveraineté des données crée-t-elle aujourd’hui le plus de friction pour l’accès aux données et l’innovation en IA ?

Question 2 (Pression de l’IA) : Que change l’IA en termes d’exigences autour de la souveraineté des données pour les organisations réglementées ?

Question 3 (Architecture) : Quelles approches permettent aujourd’hui d’exploiter les données à grande échelle sans les déplacer ni les centraliser ?

Question 5 (Perspectives) : Quelles évolutions architecturales seront nécessaires dans les prochaines

During this 5-minute networking session, the aim of the game is to go and meet two people you don't already know.  Have fun! 

•    Why do dashboards and reports still fail to drive action at senior levels?
•    How are data leaders framing insights so they resonate with CFOs, COOs, and Boards?
•    What’s helping teams move from reporting metrics to influencing decisions?
•    How are complex or technical outputs being translated into clear business value stories?

•    From Technology to Transformation: How the Chief Data Architect role is evolving to shape organisational strategy and outcomes.
•     Building High-Performance Teams: Turning data engineers and architects into change agents who can deliver at scale.
•    Data Foundations for AI: How to design resilient, secure, and adaptable data architecture to power responsible AI.
•    Governance and Agility: Balancing control and innovation in a public-sector context.
•    Empowering the Organisation: Driving data literacy and cross-functional collaboration across departments.

This session focuses on the practical work of making governance land across diverse environments. Using real life examples, it examines how interpretation drives outcomes, why alignment is often assumed rather than tested, and how leaders can translate standards into clear expectations, stronger accountability, and more consistent execution, without compromising principles or slowing delivery.

•    Why do robust governance frameworks still lead to inconsistent decisions across teams, regions, and suppliers? Have we really checked whether our governance and compliance instructions are being followed, by our internal teams and by our external suppliers and outsourced resources?
•    What sits between policy and behaviour, where the same rule is filtered through different professional norms, cultural assumptions, and learned ideas of what is “acceptable”?
•    How do leaders hold standards when strategic stakeholders push for speed and bold risk, while operational teams can reduce compliance to a formality?
•    Are we designing governance for sign-off, or for genuine understanding?

This session will give leaders practical, people centred ways to build stronger data capabilities which deliver real business value.
•    How to understand your organisation’s true data capabilities and grow them by focusing on people.
•    What an effective, people-focused data strategy should include.
•    Practical tips for enabling teams to deliver the strategy in real life.
Remi Martin-Tonks, Head of Data Analytics, MONEY & PENSIONS

An informal, conversational session focused on how organisations are working with data, analytics and AI in practice today.
Rather than definitive answers or deep technical detail, the discussion will centre on real experiences, lessons learned, and common challenges leaders encounter when turning data into value — from decision-making and operating models to skills, culture, and trust.
Audience questions act as conversation starters, allowing the session to flow naturally and focus on what’s most relevant in the room.
Nigel Foote, Chief Analytics Officer EMEA, OMNICOM MEDIA
Remi Martin-Tonks, Head of Data Analytics, MONEY & PENSIONS

A sharp, audience-driven debate on where data ends — and decision-making begins.
 
·    Live audience poll to kick things off and see where the room stands — then again at the end to track any mindset shifts. 
·    Debate on a big question: Should AI be trusted to act on its own during a cyber threat in FS? 
·    Audience gets involved — ask questions, share views, and see how your take compares to the room.
