The intersection of connected knowledge and AI

In today's regulatory landscape, data risk is critical as regulatory expectations intensify and penalties increase. Records management, a key component of data risk, involves systematically controlling an organisation's records from creation to disposal, ensuring efficient organisation, storage, retrieval, and preservation process.

Without robust data retention policies and governance, organisations face increased audit and litigation risks, higher IT costs, and challenges in meeting evolving standards. Mitigating these risks requires a systematic approach to data retention, adhering to industry best practices.

The proposed presentation will cover:

Industry Insights: Observations and impacts EY has noticed within the industry regarding data risk and records management

Regulatory Perspective: An overview of regulatory expectations and requirements for records management

Governance Requirements: Key elements of governance necessary for effective records management

Organisational Impact: Consequences of ineffective records management on an organization

Drafting Records Management Policies: Guidelines for creating comprehensive and effective records management policies

Banking Sector Focus: How records management should be implemented across the three lines of defence within a banking institution

This comprehensive approach highlights the pressing need for improved records management practices to address increasing data risks. As well as providing the industry best practices which EY has observed.

Data Marketplaces and How They Help Shorten Time to Value

Enabling FAIR Data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable) is critical for AstraZeneca to unlock value from our existing data and to ease the handling of future data. We address 'Findability' through effective indexing and cataloguing, 'Accessibility' via a blend of automated and manual processes and enhance 'Reusability' by integrating processes into approved analytical environments. Yet the most significant challenge is 'Interoperability', which requires us to determine if datasets of the same type can be merged and how to link different types to answer complex questions. This talk will show how AstraZeneca's Research & Development tackle these challenges to optimise data re-use.

Data governance is hard, and it’s all because of human beings tend to be emotional and sometimes irrational. But it shouldn’t be an excuse, it should be an opportunity to leverage the sensitivity of human beings to drive data governance through cross-functional collaboration. Tiankai experienced some things about the human aspect of Data Governance and distilled it down to a few learnings that can work as guiding principles for a human-centric approach to effective data governance.

Data Literacy 101

Proving value eludes many data professionals.

Calculating ROI or cost benefit analysis is just the start. Data's real value emerges when we partner with stakeholders to recognise, articulate, and realise its multidimensional benefits.

In this session, public sector data leader Bandhu Das will share insights for developing high-impact data business cases encompassing holistic benefits to win investments and spark engagement for change. Through examples, he’ll share his "Value Matrix" framework that builds on the Treasury's five case model by incorporating change and engagement as essential enablers.

This session welcomes both public and private sector data professionals. The attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences and challenges when pitching data programmes. The discussion will equip participants with practical frameworks to translate conceptual data solutions into funded initiatives that drive demonstrable value.

Bandhu Das brings 15+ years of diverse experience spanning finance, policy, and data to enable public sector organisations to adopt data and analytics at scale for public good.

As Defra's Head of Data Strategy and Engagement, Bandhu is currently leading the development of an enterprise data strategy and investment roadmap to unlock new levels of value-creation from data. He also oversees their data foundation programme - strengthening Defra's data assets and operating model to enable ethical and sustainable innovations.

Previously at HM Treasury, Bandhu led national-level data analytics projects informing key government reform decisions and publications. He also advised ministers to approve record data investments for modern cross-government data ecosystems and collaborations models.

As a DAMA UK committee member since 2023, Bandhu is dedicated to nurturing a thriving community of data professionals to elevate data as a strategic asset.
