Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Data?

Michael Wells is the Managing Partner at AZGA Technologies and a seasoned executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience across oil & gas, manufacturing, supply chain, operations, and data analytics. He has led global organizations, managed multi-billion-dollar planning and operations portfolios, and delivered large-scale digital transformation initiatives across complex industries. By combining deep operational expertise with advanced data analytics, Michael helps organizations transform data into actionable business intelligence that improves decision-making, operational efficiency, and long-term business growth.
 

In his session, Michael will challenge one of the biggest assumptions in digital transformation: more data does not always lead to better decisions. He will explore the difference between data, information, and actionable intelligence, explaining why organizations should treat data as a business asset that must be managed with purpose. The session will examine the economics of the data supply chain—from acquiring and storing data to transforming it into decision-ready insights—and discuss how AI can help organizations focus on delivering the right information to the right decision-maker at the right time instead of simply collecting more data.
