Data Futurology - Leadership And Strategy in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science

In this episode, Felipe caught up with Anuj Anand, CIO at Ausenco on his career path through the company from System Engineer to CIO. It’s a very real interview in which Anuj shares some very honest life lessons that have helped to get him to where he is at today. On presenting his first 5-year tech strategy to the board he was told that was definitely what they didn’t want to see! Undeterred he went away only to return and nail it! He shares some of the common challenges faced by CIOs today across everything from cybersecurity to recruitment. He also shares how AI is influencing their data strategy and the importance of building diverse tech teams.

In this episode, Felipe is joined by three special guests and pioneers of data and analytics in Australia. In celebration of International Women’s Day 2022 we tackled the trifecta of tough topics in the data analytics community right now – teams, culture, and talent.

Often we hear that the data and the tech, even the analytics itself, are the easy part. People, engagement, and culture matter the most. If the shiny tools just sit on a shelf, with a disengaged audience then no one wins. What does it take to turn that around? Right now, we're exploring the limits of organisation-wide data literacy. Inside organisations, we want to change how decisions are made, but as yet it's not clear how much expertise people are willing to acquire as part of their day job. It takes a culture that will encourage and support that growth, teams that can flourish beyond siloes and the ability to find in-demand talent.

This show includes such a great discussion full of insight and real-world application.

You can catch even more from two of our fantastic guests, Michelle-Joy (MJ) and Kathryn, at our Advancing AI event taking place at the Crown Promenade Melbourne on 6-7 April. Register here to catch up with Felipe, MJ and Kathryn in-person: https://bit.ly/3HL8Iv1

As the data analytics space matures demands from the business for the products and services being generated has been increasing. There is a thirst and appetite for internal and external data and analytics outputs. However, we need visible platforms and the ability to orchestrate complex data pipelines to enable this growth and underpin the mechanism.

Cue the emergence of the engineer. We started with the data engineer and have welcomed more specialised roles including the Analytics Engineer, ML Engineer and AI Engineer. Heavily leveraging from the IT side, these roles have evolved and are becoming integral to the business.

How exactly is the engineer in the data analytics space evolving? How is this enabling reliable accessible, performant systems that are monitored appropriately? Can we look at team structures? Are there ways we can implement or better use the modern data stack?

As an industry we’re maturing, we’re further specialising and we’re reacting to the demands of the business. We’re seizing the opportunity to create more value for our organisations!

That’s what Felipe will discuss in this week’s podcast episode.

Scaling AI. There is a reason it's a hot topic for discussion, we all need to do it but it is fraught with challenges from the complexity of the tech itself to the people and processes needed to underpin scaling AI for production. 

In this session we share the common challenges faced and address how to tackle those issues. We explore methodologies and approaches to successfully lift AI projects into production, the key architecture and tech needed, skills and talent required and finally, the processes needed to support all of this.
