We\u2019re excited to announce the Enterprise Data Strategy Board will now be known as the\u00a0Data & AI Strategy Board<\/a>.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

This change reflects a fundamental shift in the role of enterprise data leaders. AI is no longer a future priority or side conversation;\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0embedded in\u00a0executive-level discussions, roadmaps, and day-to-day decision-making.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Across member conversations and industry trends, leaders are actively working\u00a0through\u00a0how to integrate and operationalize AI within their organizations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new name brings clarity that data and AI strategy now operate as an interconnected focus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Now<\/span><\/h2>\n

The decision is grounded in both member feedback and broader market dynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations are under increasing pressure to move AI from experimentation to production, while still addressing foundational challenges like governance, ownership, and data readiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, the roles leading this work are evolving. Titles such as Chief AI Officer, Head of AI Strategy, and Head of Data & AI are becoming more common, reflecting the convergence of responsibilities across data and AI functions.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Staying the Same<\/span><\/h2>\n

While the name\u00a0is changing, the core of\u00a0our\u00a0community\u00a0remains\u00a0the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Data & AI Strategy Board will continue to offer:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
