Applying a Strategy of Continuous Experimentation

Experimentation in the organization can help drive change. That is why Nita and Shomit will introduce techniques and methods for how experimental systems and processes can be introduced in order to foster more innovation and launch new products and features. The experimental systems and processes are based on a systematic use of data and can be used by any organization that wants to create growth through the use of data.

Turning Data to Gold

In the future, it will be the companies with the largest amount of data that win. But how can companies create a strategy that ensures the best possible use of their valuable data? Although giants like Google and Amazon dominate the "Big Data" field, new players have managed to create unique business models that are driven by data - AirBnB and Uber being great examples of this. So, what can other companies learn from their success? Join the webinar and find out!

About AI Updates From Silicon Valley

”AI is today what IT was 30 years ago. You do not have to be the best in the world, but if you are not at least on the bandwagon, you will get nowhere". This is how the world's leading innovation expert Christian Ketels described the challenge with AI when he was the keynote speaker at ATV's annual meeting in August.

 

AI start-ups received more than 30 billion dollars in funding last year, with the world’s largest companies especially investing heavily in artificial intelligence. AI acquisitions saw a more than 6x uptick from 2013 to 2018. In 2018, Roche Holding acquired the AI startup Flatiron Health for $1.9B — one of the largest M&A deals in AI, ever.

 

AI is fundamentally changing the terms of doing business and the business world generally recognizes the potential for artificial intelligence. But there is a need to share more knowledge and experiences in order to inspire companies so they can accelerate growth, innovation, and digitalization.

 

We have therefore created a series of webinars directly from Silicon Valley, to inspire, share knowledge, and give concrete guidance on how companies can approach the work with data and AI – from the beginning strategic phase to implementation across, to ethical considerations.

Details

  • Each webinar will be recorded and available to participants afterward.
  • In connection with the webinars, the participants can ask questions to the speakers, and you can subsequently have a short dialogue with ICDK for further advice and dialogue with experts within ICDK's work areas in Silicon Valley.
  • The webinars are in English.
  • This webinar, the second in the series, takes place on October 19th, 2020, 15:30 - 17:00.

Who should participate?

We have in collaboration with ATV and Digital Hub Denmark designed the ‘AI Updates from Silicon Valley’ webinar series for you, who wants to stay ahead of the latest AI transformation and want toexpand your global network as well. The webinars are relevant for anyone working with or researching AI and who is interested in the latest knowledge and new trends in the field.
