Enterprise Data Architecture for AI
Ian Johns
Founder & Ex Chief Architect @ KCL
Break the garbage in, model out cycle
Without an effective data architecture organisations will struggle to realise the benefits of Enterprise AI implementations. Even the best frontier models will struggle to add value to a landscape that features inconsistently governed fragmented systems with poor data quality. And at that moment too often it is the models that carry the can for the absence of more fundamental foundations.
The good news is that AI can help define, describe and build that architecture of people, process, data and tech more quickly than ever before. You will leave this workshop with an implementable blueprint for your organisation or industry.
What you’ll learn
Transform into a strategic leader, comfortably bridging business and technology concerns with the data transformation needed for AI adoption
Use a case study to modernise a legacy environment for AI adoption with infrastructure, pipelines and governance controls
Create a universal knowledge repository for your models and agents to access to understand your data and its relationships
Define the legacy data flows in your organisation or industry and describe how they are enhanced and transformed by AI adoption
Create architecture diagrams of the landscape from different perspectives to guide decision makers and implementers
Apply the Deconstruct, Stress-Test & Adapt framework to build visualisations on the fly whenever obstacles or opportunities require a pivot
