Leadership in Healthcare Data: Moving Strategy to the Hospital Board

​A Data Foundations for Healthcare AI session, in partnership with Perform by AI

​Identifying your clinical data gaps is one thing. Getting the funding and mandate to fix them is another and that battle is won or lost in the boardroom, not the IT department.

​In this session, our speakers draw on their experience leading Trusts under NHS management and Public-Private Partnerships to show healthcare executives how to reframe data architecture as a strategic clinical asset not a technical cost line. You'll learn how to build the case that gets boards to back data investment, and what shifts a conversation from "IT project" to "clinical risk management."

​You'll leave with:

• ​A framework for presenting data infrastructure as a strategic asset, not an IT expense

• ​Language and evidence that resonates at board level grounded in clinical risk, not technical detail

• ​Lessons from managing data strategy across NHS Trust and PPP models, applied to the GCC context

​Who should attend: Hospital executives, board members, healthcare CIOs, and data leaders who need to secure buy-in above their own department.

​You don't need to have attended Session 1 to benefit from this one but if you're grappling with the clinical data gaps we covered there, this is where you learn how to fund fixing them.
