Executive Morning Brief: From Data Insight to Business Impact

As data becomes the backbone of modern decision-making, many organizations still struggle to move from strategy to tangible business outcomes. While AI and advanced analytics promise transformative change, the path to implementation is filled with complexity—and often, misalignment between business goals and tech initiatives.

Introduction

In this Executive Morning Brief, Professor Ioanna Constantiou of CBS joins SVP Digital, Data & AI at Danske Bank Camilla Kerlauge to debate the evolving role of leadership in building successful data strategies. Together, they unpack the roadblocks, leadership blind spots, and infrastructure pitfalls that organizations must overcome to unlock real value from their data investments.

Through three key questions, the session will explore where organizations go wrong — and how they can do better:

What are the top 3 roadblocks organisations encounter when turning data into business impact?
How can leaders ensure data strategy aligns with business goals rather than becoming just a tech initiative?
What's the biggest mistake companies make when building data infrastructure to introduce AI in their business process?
