Bridging the AI divide: Turn fragile data into scalable insights - Part 1

C-suite Exchange: Why AI success is now defined by data readiness, leadership alignment, and operational discipline

In partnership with 

This HotTopics C-Suite Exchange, in partnership with Hitachi Vantara, brings together CIOs, data leaders, and AI executives to explore why AI success is increasingly determined by data maturity and leadership execution, rather than technology alone.

Drawing on new research into the “AI divide,” the discussion will examine where AI initiatives most often break down, what separates data-mature organisations in practice (beyond tools and platforms), and how leaders can balance speed, resilience, and governance as AI becomes business-critical.

Join peers for a candid, closed-door conversation designed to share lessons, challenge assumptions, and focus on the leadership decisions required to move from fragile data to scalable AI value.

This event is part 1 of HotTopics’ C-Suite Exchange series on bridging the AI divide.
