The Data Queen
Liz Henderson is a Non-Executive Director and strategic business advisor with over 20 years’ experience helping boards and senior leaders turn data ambition into confident, value-driven decision-making. She has worked alongside organisations facing their toughest data challenges — from trust, governance, and accountability to culture, capability, and operating models. Across sectors, Liz has pursued a single, persistent question: why do so many organisations invest heavily in data, yet still struggle to trust and use it when it matters most? Her conclusion is clear and hard-won. Data success is rarely a technology problem. It is a leadership and decision-making challenge — and those who confront it early consistently outperform those who do not. Liz is the author of My View of the Data World on data leadership and governance and a sought-after keynote speaker for boards, executives, and leadership teams seeking practical, experience-led guidance without hype. https://lizhendersondata.wordpress.com/ https://www.amazon.com/View-Data-World-Perspectives-Transformation-ebook/dp/B0FFPFHHPW

AI is marketed as transformational, fast, and effortless, yet many organisations remain trapped in a costly cycle of hype, disappointment, and replacement technologies that never quite deliver. This session explores why the promise of AI consistently falls short without strong data foundations, clear ownership, and executive alignment. Through familiar examples, including long-standing challenges such as Master Data Management (MDM). The session examines why these problems persist, what really gets in the way, and how organisations can make meaningful progress using a practical “start small, medium effort, big impact” approach. Crucially, it shows how to reframe data and AI initiatives in the language of the executive committee (ExCo), enabling stronger sponsorship, funding, and mandate to execute, and turning data strategy from a technical discussion into a business imperative.
