Executive SummitKeynote Interview
TWIMLcon  2021
One of the biggest challenges executives face is ensuring project success. Far too often precious resources are wasted on projects that fail to generate value, don't get off the ground, or are inadequately resourced. This keynote explores the reasons for these failures and best practices for a successful launch and deployment of ML & AI solutions.
