Abstract of Presentation

 

Clive Grinyer – Data, the New Material for Designing Services and Experiences

We are in the 4th Industrial Revolution and data is the new oil. The opportunities are immense, but so are the dangers. As we craft new digital experiences, the tools of design will help ensure that the opportunities are desirable, as well as viable and feasible. Free of bias, providing seamless access to choice and personalisation, Clive will share how we can rise to the challenge of designing exceptional and successful experiences and exploit the potential of our digital futures.

 

David Chow – Building the Cognitive Enterprise for AI-powered Innovation

A new era of business reinvention is dawning. Organisations are facing an unprecedented convergence of technological, social and regulatory forces. As artificial intelligence, blockchain, automation, Internet of Things, 5G and edge computing become pervasive, their combined impact will reshape standard business architectures and drive innovation. David from IBM will share this concept and some proven experiences to put this into reality.
