What Darren Goonawardana works on
These are the fields and concepts Darren Goonawardana works in every day, from AI leadership and data strategy to the Microsoft data platform. Each entry defines the term and explains how it connects to his work through Collectiv and his keynotes as The Cyborg CEO.
AI leadership The practice of integrating artificial intelligence into executive decision making, strategy, and operations, so AI amplifies human judgment rather than replacing it. Artificial intelligence The field of building systems that perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, from analysis and prediction to language and decision support. Microsoft Fabric Microsoft’s unified analytics platform that brings data engineering, data warehousing, data science, and business intelligence together in one environment. Power BI Microsoft’s business analytics service for interactive data visualisation and self-service business intelligence. Business intelligence The strategies and technologies organisations use to analyse data and turn it into actionable information for better decisions. Data strategy A plan for how an organisation collects, governs, and uses data so that information becomes a durable competitive advantage rather than a cost. Enterprise planning Connected planning, budgeting, and forecasting (xP&A) that replaces disconnected spreadsheets with a single, modelled view of the business. Systems thinking An approach to leadership that focuses on designing the systems a company runs on, so the business can scale beyond the people who founded it.
