Day 1 | 4th March

4:20 PM Oxford-Style Debate: A Decentralised Strategy is the Best Way to Digitalise Your Business – For & Against

Hear both sides of the coin in a fun debate designed to provoke discussion and inspiration. The speakers will debate whether a centralised or decentralised approach is the optimal way to digitalise a business.

For: 

  • Decentralised data is more secure and robust 
  • Decentralisation can improve decision-making and foster a more collaborative working culture 
  • Decentralising data can give your departments more agency and governance 

Against: 

  • Centralised data models are simpler to implement and manage 
  • Decentralisation can require a transformation in your company culture, overall strategy operational processes 
  • Centralised platforms are empowered by large data silos
