Private CDO roundtable

A closed-door roundtable for senior data and AI leaders on enterprise AI, data products and the data foundations required for AI.

The discussion focuses on governance, reusable data delivery and what enterprises need to fix before AI can scale.

Data products Data foundations for AI Governance Enterprise execution Talent
Why now

Data products are now mainstream. Structured delivery is not.

Most organisations are still carrying one-off data work while AI demand rises. This roundtable focuses on the operating model, governance and data foundations required before AI can scale.

  • CDO, CIO and CTO

Research context

From data products to AI production

The discussion uses new research on data product delivery in Australia and Singapore, based on 154 senior data leaders.

Everyone says they have data products. Only a quarter have a real operating model. The rest are burning capacity on one-off work while AI demand rises.

  • 97% say their organisation delivers data products
  • Only 26% operate a structured data products programme
  • 45% of organisations without structured programmes spend 26-50% of data team effort on one-off, non-reusable work
  • 44% have active AI or GenAI projects that depend on foundational data preparation

That gap is where the roundtable sits.
