Crossing the Analytical Divide:
New Technologies, New Skills
From the desk of Daniel Yuen, Conference Chair
As all industries make the transition to the world of digital business, organizations can maximize value from better
information management practices through innovation, value creation, efficiency and risk mitigation. An information
strategy tuned for the challenges of digital business is the key to success.
The digital divide separated people into those who had access to the internet and those who did not. Now
businesses can be separated into those who take analytics to the next level, and those who are stuck with
management reporting; the analytical divide. Organizations that take analytics to the next level go beyond internal
management reporting. They apply their analytics to their business model.
This year’s agenda, built around the theme, Crossing the Analytical Divide: New Technologies, New Skills, offers
in-depth, practical recommendations to help you articulate the business value of information management (IM) and
analytics throughout the organization; modernize core data technologies; update skills and organizational structures
to support innovation and leverage leading-edge BI tools and methodologies.
Join us to advance your information management capabilities to deliver
a more intelligent future.
See you in Sydney in 2015!

Chris Riddell
Guest Keynote: A Day in the Life of a Chief Digital Officer in the Digital Era
Whether you are a B2B or B2C business, the challenges and opportunities that digital
assets present are the same. Business analytics is no longer about sitting at a desk and
poring over reports generated by a system, it’s about moving to an algorithm that will
assist in making decisions for you. The rest of the world is working that way, so business
must do exactly the same. In this session, highly acclaimed Gen-Y technology futurist and
digital thought leader Chris Riddell will bring you practical examples of organizations who
have adopted this approach and address the importance of the new emerging role of the
Chief Digital Officer.
Adam Spencer
Guest Keynote: Big (really, really big) Numbers
Australia’s best known mathematician and author of the Christmas bestseller “The Big
Book of Numbers”, Adam will educate and amuse on the subject of mathematics. Yes
you read right, numbers have never been so funny and so mindboggling until in the
hands of one of Australia’s great media performers and public speakers. And what does
the explosion in the digital world mean for mathematics, the sciences and our world in
general? After his session, Adam will also sign copies of his book and talk mathematics
for as long as anyone wants!
Steve Sammartino
Guest Keynote: The End of The Centralized Approach?
There’s a deluge of data being created by all economic participants. But, this time buyers,
sellers and employers all participate and have access. It’s no longer top down dominant,
but horizontally driven. This shift towards decentralization changes power structures. The
new world is one in which open source, crowd dynamics and co-opetition win through
building a more abundant eco system. The business environment is changing so rapidly
we need to empower the decision authority of staff closest to the event, who now have
powerful data tools on hand. The challenge is not to fight the shift, but to embrace it
whilst managing risk. But the art is to do it in a way, which keeps the price of
experimentation and failure low as we navigate the new world. This keynote addresses
the ideas above with deep examples of autonomy without sacrificing enterprise demands.

Gartner Opening Keynote: Crossing the Analytical Divide: New Skills, New Technologies
New analytics and new sources of information have transformed “business intelligence” into
“business inspiration”. Not just answering questions through dashboard and reports, but by
creating completely new business models and revenue streams. Information has become
the core of doing business, and the foundation for digital business. At the same time, new
dilemmas have emerged. Is the business really ready for these new opportunities? How
can leaders in information and analytics support a strong trend towards decentralization,
while still ensuring governance and alignment? How do these new technologies, that bring
a whole new level of architectural complexity fit in existing strategies striving for simplicity
and standardization? … And all of this without your budget and resources doubling. Come
and learn about the next practices to solve these dilemmas.

keynote re-positions the role of analytics within a broader context of the Digital Economy,

Agenda tracks
A. Lead the Initiative — Communicate the Value
The most important pillar of every BI and analytics strategy is to create the right
organizational model and then communicate the value in business terms. This track
promotes the strategy, leadership and communication approaches required to ensure
that the analytical skills as well as the right leadership are replete throughout your
organization. In this track, we’ll explore effective new governance mechanisms, new
organizational models and competency centers, new skills, emerging roles, career
paths and strategies for becoming a more effective BI and analytics leader.
B. Modernize the Core — Underpin Legacy Investments
Despite its longevity, the BI and analytics space keeps reinventing itself. New
capabilities emerge and architectural styles evolve to continuously modernize the way
organizations integrate, analyze and report data. This modernization needs to be
underpinned with investments to make sure that the IT “engine room” is ready for the
new. This track covers the modernization of the core technologies used to build
reports/dashboards and perform multidimensional analysis as they become more
mobile, social, cloud and in-memory centric. The sessions in this track will focus on
renovating existing BI and analytic technologies that already exist in most organizations.

C. Evangelize the New — Deliver Business Value
Big data is one of the most searched terms on Gartner.com. We’ve moved beyond
the initial pilot projects. An increasing number of organizations are delivering business
value analyzing high volume, high variety data that was previously impossible to do.
The market is growing up and will become more realistic about how big data can be
useful for organizations large and small. In this track, we will explore and highlight
successful adoptions of new technologies such as in-memory computing, NoSQL
databases, Hadoop, natural language processing and complex event processing.
D. Embrace Advanced Analytics — Drive Business Optimization
The excitement around advanced analytics is reaching a fever pitch, which is evidenced
by market growth, client interest, and a vibrant M&A scene. This track is dedicated to
help analytics leaders to understand and assess the available technologies and
techniques such as ensemble modeling, deep learning, simulation, and optimization that
are having a profound impact on improving business performance. This track is also
intended to help IT leaders understand how to better collaborate with data scientists.
E. Maximize Business Assets — Increase Information Yield
Information is the one element that is constantly exchanged between businesses,
people and things. As all sectors transition to the world of digital business,
organizations can maximize value from better information management (IM) practices
through: innovation with new information-based business models and informationbased products and services; value creation for top-line revenue growth, new product
delivery; efficiency for cost reduction, speed, agility, productivity and risk mitigation by
removing financial, regulatory and legal risk. This track focuses on developing a
strong IM strategy with governance, MDM, data quality and integration at its core.
