Setting the context:
- Strategic digital trade-offs, promise and peril in the 21st century: Understanding the environment we are operating in now
Caveats to be alert to:
- Cybersecurity Risks: What are the common challenges and pitfalls in cybersecurity? Are you investing enough in protection and mitigation? Can you measure the business value of cybersecurity investments?
- Third party and privacy risks, covering risks associated with outsourcing and contracting processes: Are you and your contractors just satisfied with protection via rarely used contract clauses? What more can your organization do?
Opportunities today and here:
- Current and local AI use cases: Companies are leveraging AI for market defense (customer service) and offense (customer acquisition and wallet expansion); are you?
Four hours of this-year technology governance challenges and opportunities, covered in two days.
