The AI-Ready Enterprise: Making Data Fabric Real
The Ortus Club, together with SAP and ODI, invites senior data and technology leaders in Stockholm to an evening of candid conversation, exceptional dining, and genuine peer exchange. This intimate dinner roundtable on Tuesday, 16th June brings together the people shaping how enterprises actually operationalise data fabric — not in theory, but in production. Expect sharp thinking, no slides, and the kind of frank dialogue that only happens off the record.
The Topic
The AI-Ready Enterprise: Making Data Fabric Real
Every organisation has a data strategy. Far fewer have an operating model that holds up when AI hits production at scale. The gap between a well-architected data fabric on paper and one that delivers governed, trusted, AI-ready data in practice is where most enterprises stall — caught between the need for rigorous oversight and the speed generative AI demands.
This roundtable, anchored in the IDEA (Interchange for Data and Enterprise AI) programme, brings senior leaders together to pressure-test how data fabric actually performs in the wild — where governance meets velocity, where ownership models are tested daily, and where the promise of seamless data integration meets the complexity of real enterprise environments.
The question facing every leadership team is the same: how do you build an operating model that scales with AI rather than against it — without sacrificing the trust, standards, and accountability your organisation depends on?
Discussion questions include:
From fabric principles to daily decisions — How are organisations translating data fabric architecture into practical, repeatable decision-making frameworks that teams actually use?
Trust, standards, and ownership without the drag — What does effective data governance look like when speed is no longer optional, and how do you embed ownership without creating bottlenecks?
Operating models that scale with AI, not against it — How should data operating models evolve to support the demands of generative AI in production, rather than constraining them?
