Topic:
Data, AI and Analytics: Next Gen Weapons Platform for Value-Driven Mission Outcomes
Description: Government, and especially Defense needs to deal with increased demands from an ever-growing stakeholder base, the need to make decisions at speed, leveraging radical new innovations in technology, political challenges and of course adversarial threats. Data and Analytics are becoming the next generation “weapons platform” to drive mission outcome. In this session we will discuss why data is so important (and so important NOW), what an end to end data capability looks like, what is holding organizations back, senior leader perspectives on data in both commercial and government, the role of the CDO and CDAO, why moving data to the cloud is becoming so critical, and learn about how DoD’s new Chief Data Office under the Office of the Secretary of Defense is working to enable a cross defense data driven capability to support Joint All Domain Operations, Senior Leader Decision Support, and Business Analytics.
Content:
- Intent: Discuss how attendees should “think” about data
- Why Data is so important
- Data is the fuel of the new economy and driving much of the differentiation and disruption in industry today, and driving advanced and enhanced mission outcomes for government.

- Data is being considered a new form of capital

- Role of a CDO and CDAO
- What is a CDO/CDAO, and why are they so strategically important

- Data on Cloud
- Why moving data and data related capabilities is so important
- Limitations of on-prem environments today
- Benefits of moving to cloud
- How this enables data use cases, differentiation, disruption, strategy and mission outcome
- DoD perspective on Data
- What OSD is doing to build a cross DoD data capability/strategy
- DoD Data Strategy
