Session Take-Aways

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.
Day 2 Take-Aways
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.
Day 3 Take-Aways
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.

Guest Keynote: Current status and challenges of developing data science talent through industry-academia collaboration
Akimichi Takemura,
Shiga University / President,
Japan is lagging behind in the fields of Data Science (DS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). To address this situation, universities are rapidly developing education in these areas, and companies are also advancing reskilling efforts for their workforce. University education in these fields requires more than just theoretical lectures; it is essential to incorporate Project-Based Learning (PBL) practices that solve real-world problems based on data. Industry-academia collaboration plays a critical role in such university education. Additionally, in terms of reskilling for professionals, in-house training in companies alone is insufficient, and collaboration with universities is effective. This presentation will discuss the current status and challenges of developing DS talent, based on experiences of industry-academia collaboration at the Faculty of Data Science of Shiga University.
