Whether you have been promoted, transitioned from another role or arrived from a different enterprise, chief data and analytics officers (CDAOs) require a solid plan for their first 100 days to set a foundation for their success.

The 2023 Gartner Chief Data and Analytics Officer Agenda Survey shows that CDAOs who display executive behaviors and leadership traits are more successful than those who behave like a team manager or project leader. This makes your approach during the first 100 days critical to establishing the right tone.

This webinar will provide a 100-day action plan that breaks down the CDAO and data and analytics leader’s first 100 days into six major categories, with recommended activities to assess, plan, act and measure progress initiatives.

On this webinar Jorgen Heizenberg (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst & KI Leader  will help you get started in navigating this pivotal phase while accelerating business outcomes and ensuring success in your new role. In addition, we will take questions from you and your peers to address the issues that will most impact your new leadership role.

Discussion Topics:

• Set up objectives, representative actions and create a personalized plan
• Derive and communicate the D&A value proposition
• Learn the drivers for CDAO effectiveness

More than 80% of Gartner clients are investing in AI or generative AI (GenAI) in some capacity. Most organizations have moved beyond asking what it is to instead find out how to strategically approach, execute, protect, and govern GenAI.

However, only some organizations have determined the best ways to measure and quantify these initiatives or consistently track them to demonstrate shareholder value.

In this session, Frances Karamouzis (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP  Distinguished Analyst takes you through different categories of generative AI, the cost side of the equation, the value measurements, and real-life examples of organizations that have taken action and funded initiative, so your organization can determine your best path forward.

Discussion Topics:

• Identify the realities of actioned investments of GenAI vs. the hype
• Explore approaches to estimate costs and connect to value propositions
• Determine the framework for identifying, vetting and funding AI and generative AI initiatives

Traditional project management was built on three pillars or three P’s: project, program, and portfolio.

Organizations are starting to recognize the importance of products and services, in the delivery of value to customers, and implementing strategy in organizations.

Project managers not only need to understand the role of their project to support the strategy of organizations but how the product they are building will support that strategy and realize the value to customers.

In this webinar Peter Monkhouse & Joanna Tivig will look at the inter-dependency between products and product portfolios with projects, programs, and project portfolios. The webinar will highlight the need for project managers to understand the relationship between portfolios, programs, projects, and products to support organizations in implementing strategy. It is time for products to become the fourth P of project management.
