 tworks\n\nPrecis\nIn a room at the Canberra Parliament in late 2013\, a gr
 oup of engineers and officials gathered to brief Federal Communications Mi
 nister Malcolm Turnbull on the struggling NBN rollout. There was a hard ch
 oice to make - fibre to the node\, or fibre to the premises. The topic was
  so complex\, the explanations so extensive\, the impacts so varied\, and 
 the powerpoint slides so detailed\, that making a decision proved vexing t
 o the Minister. In the end\, he chose the 'hybrid' model\, based on data h
 e could fathom the meaning of. This proved famously costly to Australia's 
 economic development.\n\nNigel Dalton will relate this moment to the decis
 ions being made in Boardrooms in 2026\, about similar choices on the adopt
 ion of AI & ML tech that could be equally momentous. How can data professi
 onals ensure the narratives they are producing provide the maximum clarity
  to decision-makers\, and avoid another NBN?\n\nAbout The Speaker\nNigel D
 alton is a social scientist at Thoughtworks Asia-Pacific. He is well-known
  for his work in technology and innovation\, stemming from his time as CIO
  of REA Group and GM of Technology at Lonely Planet\, as well as a diverse
  background in government\, startups\, and private enterprise across multi
 ple countries.\n\nNigel joined Thoughtworks in 2020\, and has continued hi
 s work speaking at conferences\, writing articles\, podcasting\, advising 
 executives\, and mentoring. After witnessing the highs and lows of high-st
 akes story-telling around technology and business decision-making for 4 de
 cades\, he is passionate about improving the quality of tech communication
 s. The AI era is providing plenty of opportunities to improve that.
