Strategy & Transformation Breakout Sessions Continued
11:30AM - 12:00PM Innovation As A Pathway To Increased Organizational Throughput Donald High - Chief Data Scientist, Internal Revenue Service
Strategy, Transformation and Data Science leaders know that- as we speak- the value from automation and/or AI is not provided through the reduction of talent. The value of automation and AI is provided by on- the-ground experts disseminating their tacit human knowledge so that new process can be put in place with the benefit of new technology. That process- coupled with a strategy and a plan, provides the pathway for enterprise value in the form of human + machine or collective intelligence. Reviewing lessons learned from robots and drones Taking a walk to the parking lot and looking at a pile of wood (really) Using AI first to find out what needs to be done Using optimization next to ensure talent and resources are best placed Continuing to move the needle in efficiencies by looking into what’s being done that’s just not smart
1:00PM - 1:30PM Net Zero by 2031: Really. Jhansi Kandasamy - Net Zero Program Director, Idaho National Laboratory
Innovation As Catalyst: Optimizing Processes To Achieve Net Zero Emissions By 2031 Operating an organization that’s almost size of Rhode Island with all of the aspects of an operating city (trash, public transit, roads, fire station, security, 300 buildings, and energy intensive with research facilities and supercomputers) is a tall order. Ensuring that organization reaches net zero emissions in less than seven years is an even tougher task. That said, Jhansi Kandasamy has identified the areas of concern and is orchestrating a a plan of attack on all fronts. Understanding that purchased electricity accounts for more than 50% of emissions Examining fleet transition innovations like eClimaCoach and lessons learned Discussing the net zero implications of managing sage brush and performing restoration work Doing responsible math by building a bank account taking more emissions out of the atmosphere than are emitted. Looking forward to the FEI 2024 NZE Start-up Competition to generate new ideas and implement new solutions
