Catch up on this session here.

Every business is a data business. How well a business uses and manages this data is the difference between those who will fail and succeed. Using data well is not all about optimisation, companies are custodians of trust, treating data ‘well’ is equally expected by customers and clients, let alone regulators. This session examines the emerging must have considerations when looking to optimise data. What role should ethical frameworks play? What is the interface between ethical considerations and the regulatory and legislative frameworks? Is there a trade-off between data optimisation and ethics? Are these tensions reconcilable? If so how? And how should the suit be responding to these challenges.
