Unleashing GenAI for Enhanced Business Insights with Rubrik's Ajay Sabhlok | Cloud Wars Live

AI's Transformative Landscape

The Big Themes

• CIO and CDO roles: When the roles of CIO and CDO are separate, each can have its own priorities. A strong collaboration between the two should be encouraged to help align these priorities and increase focus on what benefits the business, even if the timing of returns varies.
• Data-driven transformation: Transitioning to a data-driven company has been pivotal for Rubrik. By embracing data-driven insights, it's gained a deeper understanding of its business operations, identified challenges such as data quality and financial health, and empowered employees with actionable insights.
• Future of GenAI: Beyond productivity gains, GenAI holds the potential to fundamentally transform businesses by systematically eliminating hurdles and solving previously unsolvable problems. Data quality is an area that GenAI might have a significant impact on down the line.

The Big Quote: "...I talk to all the business leaders [and ask things like] 'What is it about your business that bothers you, or you wish you could improve further?' I think you start with those kinds of statements. Because then you can quickly translate that back into a series of data fragments that. . . turn into metrics, get aggregated, and then finally get enabled to help the business leader with some stories."
