Data and AI Readiness for Impact Workshop with data.org

Events and Conferences

Ready to turn data and AI into a competitive advantage? Join data.org and AllianceDFA for a hands-on session designed to help financial health and digital finance organizations take their first confident steps on the data and AI journey.

With AI dominating the agenda, it’s easy to focus on cutting-edge solutions. But for financial institutions, real value isn’t built from chasing the latest tools. It starts with getting the foundations right: robust data, clear use cases, strong data governance, and the internal capabilities to turn ambition into measurable results.

In this session, we’ll explore what basic infrastructure and data management practices need to be in place before your organization can truly harness the power of AI. data.org will introduce their Data Maturity Assessment (DMA) – a free, research-backed tool to help organizations understand exactly where they stand today, and what to prioritize next.

As a part of this workshop, you will:

  • Build the foundations first: Understand what infrastructure and data management essentials need to be addressed before AI can deliver real value in your work, internally or externally.
  • Hear from the field: Explore real-world applications of data and AI in financial health on topics ranging from credit access and fraud prevention to customer segmentation and impact measurement.
  • Know where you stand: Complete the DMA together (takes ~12 mins) with guidance from data.org experts and walk away with a personalized data and AI maturity profile for your organization covering purpose, practice, people and AI.
  • Engage with peers: Share perspectives with fellow leaders on opportunities, challenges, and what responsible AI adoption looks like in your sector.
  • Leave with a plan of action: Access data.org’s curated resource library to keep the momentum going long after the session ends.

Who should attend:
This workshop is most valuable when the right people are in the room. This session is designed for leaders and practitioners across governance, regulation, technology, and product, including CEO, CTOs, heads of digital products, regulatory compliance, and technical teams. Bringing multiple colleagues from the same organization is strongly encouraged.

  • Financial Service Providers, including fintechs, commercial banks, neobanks, mobile money operators, and microfinance institutions who have started or plan to utilize AI in their operations, products and services.
  • Digital finance and fintech associations looking to benchmark member capabilities and identify shared opportunities for data and AI capacity building.
  • Social impact organizations (SIOs) ready to deploy data and AI for results and looking for an entry point and neutral resources to help them along their journey.

This workshop gets you started with your data and AI strategy. True data and AI readiness isn’t just about technology. It’s about building shared skills and understanding across your teams, engaging your stakeholders meaningfully, embedding responsible practices from the start, and making sure data and AI become real drivers of efficiency, scale and consumer reach. Join us to learn how to build data and AI maturity for your stakeholders.
