As organisations move from experimentation to enterprise deployment, the challenge is no longer building impressive AI use cases, it’s scaling them safely, consistently, and with measurable value. This session explores how to transition from isolated agentic AI solutions to repeatable, productised patterns that can be adopted across the organisation. 

Drawing on leading practices from Lloyds Banking Group’s Agentic & AI Services, this session will showcase how to operationalise agentic AI through guardrails, golden paths, and evaluation-driven development, enabling teams to move from “demo-led innovation” to production-grade, value-generating products. Central to this is the role of systematic evaluation, ensuring performance, safety, and business alignment are embedded from the outset, rather than retrofitted later. 

Through a combination of practical frameworks and hands-on application, attendees will learn how to: 

• Identify the reusable core of a use case and evolve it into a scalable product or pattern 
• Embed responsible AI guardrails and enterprise standards to enable safe adoption at pace 
• Apply evaluation-driven development principles to build trust, accelerate approvals, and measure impact 
• Design for repeatability and adoption, reducing time-to-onboard and increasing reuse across teams   

By the end of the session, participants will leave with a clear, actionable blueprint to translate their own AI initiatives into scalable, high-impact products, not only showcasing great work, but enabling others to build on it and amplify value across the organisation.

Join us as we walk through Sandra’s successful pivot into data, where she blends real-world experiences with actionable insights designed to help you grow with confidence.

Starting from Customer Service, hers is a journey of true resilience and adaptability. Coupled with a growth mindset, she built a strong personal foundation that:

• Strengthened her communication skills across varying audiences
• Sharpened her networking skills

in addition to developing:
• Programming fundamentals essential to coding
•  Web-development best practices
•  Hands-on problem solving and debugging expertise used by real developers.

Take your next step into development with confidence – and Sandra’s tried and tested tips!

Having completed this session, you will be equipped with the awareness of the FOSS Python libraries, Splink, and Great Expectations, and how these can be integrated into Databricks to improve data quality and record linkage.

Something is shifting in the Nordics — not just in how we use data, but in who shapes what comes next.

Data transformation doesn't happen in a strategy deck. It happens in the decisions people make, the systems they challenge, and the cultures they're brave enough to change. But how do you actually do it inside a large complex industrial organisation, and make it stick?

In this very first Women in Data Nordic virtual breakfast, we're bringing you a rare and candid look at exactly that. Christina Finlay, Senior Director of Data & AI for Industrial Operations at Volvo Cars, will share what her team actually changed over the course of 12 months: the obstacles, the decisions, the progress, and the lessons learned.

What you'll take away

• A grounded, honest account of transforming data access and collaboration inside one of the Nordics' most iconic organisations
• The real conditions that enabled change, and what nearly got in the way
• How laying the right data foundations unlocks the AI and advanced analytics ambitions your organisation is chasing
• Practical lessons you can bring back into your own organisation, regardless of sector or scale

And then we turn the lens on us. Because WID Nordic is here and it is live. Join us for a morning of insight, inspiration and collective ambition as we connect, learn and begin shaping what comes next for Women in Data® Nordics - together, from the start.
