Session Take-Aways

Dive into some of the key takeaways you may have missed from Gartner Data & Analytics Summit.

The Cost of Investment in D&A and the Importance of Managing Occupancy Rates
Speakers:
Tatsuya Ichishi, Sr Director Analyst, Gartner

D&A efforts require building the infrastructure, purchasing the tools, and maintaining them, plus labor costs. It is true that ROI cannot be calculated because it is difficult to define the revenue to be gained from D&A, but the investment at least needs to be accurately captured and data-driven to ensure accountability and deliberate on its validity.

Top 10 Reasons Why Gen AI Projects Fail and How to Fix it
Speakers:
Wataru Katsurashima, VP Analyst, Gartner

More than 50% of generative AI projects fail. This session will help data & analytics leaders learn the common causes of failures and understand best practices to mitigate those failures and scale AI across the enterprise.

AI Agents: Are You Ready to Set Your AI Free?
Speakers:
Pieter den Hamer, VP Analyst, Gartner

AI agents are emerging as an important trend since they enable levels of business adaptability, flexibility and agility that traditional AI systems can’t achieve. This flexibility is valuable in unpredictable environments where real-time monitoring and control aren’t practical. Autonomous behaviors, despite significant societal, legal and ethical implications, are the answer to the increasing complexity in our enterprise systems.
