Decision-making in business operations is crucial for the success and sustainability of an organization. It involves analysing various factors and data to make informed choices that affect the growth, profitability, and reputation of the business. Effective decision-making can increase efficiency, productivity, and innovation, while poor decision-making can result in financial losses, reduced market share, and reputational damage.

Effective decision-making in business operations is essential for businesses to align their operations with sustainable development goals set by the United Nations. By making informed decisions based on data-driven insights, businesses can improve their efficiency, reduce waste, and contribute to a more sustainable future, positively impacting the environment, social responsibility, and economic growth. Incorporating United Nations goals into decision-making processes can also help businesses address global challenges such as poverty, hunger, climate change, and inequality, creating a positive impact on society and the environment.

AI-powered technologies have the potential to automate business processes, recognise patterns and trends in data, and forecast outcomes. This can lead to increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved profits. Furthermore, AI can enable businesses to identify and react to risks and opportunities in real time, enabling them to remain competitive in the constantly evolving business environment.

The primary objective of this special session is to offer guidance on how businesses can use big data and AI techniques to make informed decisions, improve their operations, and achieve their objectives. The session will highlight innovative methods and practical examples that can assist businesses in staying competitive in the ever-changing digital world.
