Turn enterprise data & AI into measurable business impact.

AI4DataLeaders is a monthly executive briefing that helps you use AI in data, BI and analytics to speed up decisions, reduce costs and stay compliant – without hype or vendor noise.

93% of firms are testing AI – but only a minority can show impact on P&L.
We focus on decisions, not tools: governance, cloud costs, and ROI in real data workflows.
Designed for executives & heads of data in European enterprises.

Format: 12–15 min video - deep-dive / week. No spam, no generic AI tips.

Episode #01 Preview

This week’s focus

“AI in data: speed without losing control.”

We map where AI really pays off in your data landscape – ETL, BI, documentation, governance – and where it only burns cloud budget.

Executive summary

3 key questions:

1. Does AI touch our most sensitive data?

2. How do we prove ROI in months, not years?

3. Are we AI-Act ready?

Why AI4DataLeaders

From AI hype to board-ready decisions.

Business impact first

Designed for P&L, not for PoC.

We frame AI through the lens of revenue, cost and risk: faster closing, leaner reporting, fewer incidents and clearer investment decisions.

Examples with target KPIs and benchmarks
“Buy vs build vs do nothing” comparisons
Red-flag patterns that destroy ROI

Governance & compliance

AI-Act and GDPR always in the picture.

Each topic is filtered through EU regulation, data residency and auditability, with simple checklists you can hand to your CISO and DPO.

Where to use sandbox & synthetic data
How to keep line of sight to data lineage
What must be explainable – and how

Practitioner-level content

From enterprise data trenches, not a lab.

The project builds on decades of work in DWH, BI and data platforms in banks, telco, manufacturing and services across Europe.

Real architectures – not slideware
Playbooks for pilots that actually ship
Patterns you can reuse with your stack

Result: you get short, focused briefings that help you say “yes, no or not yet” to AI initiatives – with arguments your board and regulators understand.

True DELIVERY

AI Must Prove Its Value .

The briefings are most relevant where leadership is focused on:

✓

Linking AI investments to measurable economic impact.
✓

Improving decision quality at scale — not adding more tools.
✓

Modernising core processes and platforms without destabilising the organisation.
✓

Balancing innovation with governance, auditability and cost discipline.

Typical starting point

“We run several AI pilots, cloud costs are growing, governance is behind and we still can’t show a clear, repeatable business cases.”

3–6 months Typical horizon to show ROI from 1–2 focused AI in data initiatives.

30–40% Potential reduction of manual reporting and ETL effort with the right use cases.
