How To Prepare For a Data-Driven Future

In September 2023, I delivered a virtual keynote for the global Walmart organization.

In the fast-paced digital age, businesses must transform into data-driven entities to stay competitive. The future of retail hinges on the seamless integration of AI, generative AI, and digital twins. High-quality data is the cornerstone, as messy, unlabelled data hampers progress.

Companies must clean and consolidate their data, hiring experts in data governance to streamline this process. Embracing generative AI can revolutionize marketing, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation.

The metaverse offers a 'phygital' blend of digital and physical shopping, while digital twins optimize operations through real-time simulations. How prepared is your business to harness these transformative technologies and lead in this data-driven future?

Hi Mark, in light of the recent MS-Crowdstrike incident which comprised not only security buy more importantly, connectivity and communication, how would a similar incident affect the digital-physical existence of people integrated into the digital twin, immersive, and data-driven lifestyle? That said, would a data driven future widen the gap of the connected populations to the unconnected?
