The Prediction Layer: Why the Future of BI Is Not a Better Dashboard Session

Yatharth Sejpal, Founder & CEO of KNOWIDEA, is a recognized leader in data and AI, helping enterprises move from complex data to clearer, more confident decisions. He has recently delivered keynotes at the AI in Oil & Gas Conference, AI in Finance Summit NY, and DataIQ 100 Summit NA, with his work also featured in Fortune.

In his session, “The Prediction Layer: Why the Future of BI Is Not a Better Dashboard,” Yatharth explores how organisations can move beyond descriptive analytics toward predictive and prescriptive operational intelligence. The session examines how AI-driven forecasting can be embedded into existing BI and operational systems without replacing legacy infrastructure, helping organisations anticipate equipment failures, supply chain disruptions, and capital allocation risks. It also highlights how decision workflows can deliver the right intelligence to decision-makers in real time and translate AI adoption into faster decisions, stronger operational performance, and reduced downtime.
