11:50 AM Workshop #9 When Start Small and Grow Is No Longer an Option: Accelerating B2B Data Transformation

For years, "start small and grow" has been the safe answer in B2B data transformation. Pilot something. Prove ROI. Scale later. The problem is that later never comes, and the backlog of deferred decisions is now a competitive liability.

B2B organizations today are facing a convergence of pressure: AI demands clean, connected, governed data at scale. Buyers expect digital experiences that require real-time data intelligence. And leadership is done waiting for transformation programs that have been "in progress" for three years.

Workshop Format: This workshop cuts through the noise. We will help you quickly assess where your current roadmap is genuinely building momentum versus quietly buying time and identify the decisions you can no longer afford to defer. We will work through a structured self-assessment and facilitate a peer discussion, no slides. You can pressure-test your plans across data domains, technology, operating model, and talent, and leave with a clear set of priorities and a 90-day action checklist to move forward with confidence.
