3:00pm Digitization and its Impact on New Business Models in Mobility

MODERATOR: Bob Merlotti Senior Vice President Growth Consulting and Head of Automotive & Transportation Americas Frost & Sullivan

SESSION ABSTRACT:Smartphone apps now have the ability to track actual human behavior, includingdistracted driving. Since more than 90% of crashes can be attributed to humanerror, this has massive potential as a data collection point. To date, Zendrive hasamassed and analyzed billions of miles of data, allowing it to conduct granularanalysis and deep exploration of combined driving behaviors, while maintainingimpressive statistical credibility. This massive dataset allows the unlocking of newpotential in telematics by constructing one of the most powerful UBI models inthe industry. Auto insurers have a notable opportunity to accelerate their abilityto measure and rate risk with the early adoption of mobile-based telematics.Importantly, the use of a smartphone-based telematics score can be used toimprove driver behavior, which ultimately will reduce crashes on the road andsave lives.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS:g Insight on how hardware-based telematics solutions only measure

vehicular motion, while smartphones can detect human behavior (such asentry and exit into the vehicle, identification of driver versus passenger,and granular phone-use information) - and how smartphones can alsocommunicate with other mobile devices in the same or nearby vehicles

g Guide to how examining predictors gathered from smartphoneinformation in a multivariate fashion allows the identification of the mostpredictive combination of these variables, as well as how they contributeto the increase in collision frequency

g Example of smartphone telematics tool that goes beyond auto ratings -Zendrive will share the latest corroborative info and validation of howthis feature supports behavioral improvements for the deadliest drivers,with the aim of ultimately reducing crashes on the road and saving lives

SESSION ABSTRACT:Over the past decade, globalization has been a key driver for global economicgrowth and prosperity.

The hyper-competitive markets that characterize the world’s economy demand a virtually instantaneous response by business. This is hard to do when data is gated by conventionalinformation technology. In order to accelerate decision making, advanced analytics utilizing artificial intelligence are necessary to identify alternatives and develop innovative new productsand services. Companies who aren’t thinking of the advantages that AI can confer are already behind the power curve.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

3:15pm The Business Case for AI MODERATOR : Mike Jude, Ph.D. Research Manager: Consumer Communications Services, Connected Home, Big Data Analytics Stratecast Frost & Sullivan

SESSION ABSTRACT:Big data promises to transform business. And while we should measure thattransformation by the number and importance of the decisions that have beenimpacted, most of our efforts have been around collecting, curating, andmanaging the data, not the quality of decisions we’re making with it.

We believe that artificial intelligence is the key missing ingredient to bridge thegap between data and decisions. In this talk we will explain how businessesshould start to think about engaging with AI, what problems are most suited toAI and the benefits business are currently enjoying across a wide variety ofindustries including retail, commerce and finance.

technology that ensure a shorter ramp to customer winsg Lessons learned in the form of real outcomes that can inform a KPI

strategy for an AI pilotg Best practice approach to the pitfalls and obstacles that often come with

an AI deployment (what not to do)

SESSION ABSTRACT:AI capabilities can be expensive and it is easy to quantify the costs, but not so easy to quantify the benefits. This workshop will ask participants to follow a structureddecision approach to identify the required benefits to justify the expense of implementing an AI powered advanced analytics infrastructure.

Harnessing digital technology in the oil and gas industry will create an ocean of opportunity for companies, enabling exceptional growth and operational excellence. With a ‘lower for

longer’ price outlook, however, the oil and gas industry needs transformational solutions to address the prospect of tightened margins and wage inflation. As a laggard to adopt innovations

from outside its industry, we will explore how the Oil and Gas industry will accelerate its Digital Transformation.

SESSION ABSTRACT:Digitization is redefining operations and driving Exploration & Productioncompanies to achieve better efficiency and productivity. New digitaltechnologies combined with data analytics have the potential to eliminate themassive inefficiencies in land acquisition, evaluation, drilling, completion,production, processing, and transportation. The question is who will monetizethe data and deliver value to the operator? We'll explore whether one digitalplatform will ultimately win out and capture all the value.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS:g Digital transformation will dramatically reduce inefficiencies in all

parts of E&Pg Will one platform become the standard for all operators?

SESSION ABSTRACT:Digital Transformation is beyond digitalization and digitization. The RACE tonext generation E&P Industry requires transformational change in thinking,talent, and technology, at an accelerated pace, with agile approach, andaugmented reality. The complexity of challenges in implementing these changeare daunting, but the opportunity cost of not doing is significant for the futureof oil and gas industry.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS:g Digital transformation well beyond digitizing E&Pg Challenges to achieving full Digital transformationg Criteria for Transformation Success

SESSION ABSTRACT:At the heart of all innovation and disruption is bold thinking, but exactly howcan one put it into practice to achieve digital transformation, particularly in anindustry rife with empirical beliefs and a wildcatter mentality? Not only isdigital transformation in oil and gas possible, it has already begun at Pioneer,with Sha-Chelle Manning’s team leading the way. Three fundamental principleson tapping into bold ideas have been key to Manning’s wide-ranging successfulinnovations—in nanotechnology, aerospace, and now oil & gas. She will sharethese powerful principles through case studies to enable those pursuing digitaltransformation in oil & gas to realize all that it promises.

SESSION ABSTRACT:The Oil & Gas industry historically has been a laggard in adopting newtechnologies and innovation from outside the industry. Complex engineeringand geologic projects in remote and harsh environments have conditioned theindustry to develop unique solutions to every well. In response, a culture of'its different in our industry' has created barriers to borrowing innovationsfrom Tech, Manufacturing, Materials, and Automotive industries that would helpaccelerate the pace of innovation in upstream Oil & Gas. However, with a'lower for longer' price environment, operators no longer have the luxury togo it alone. Find out how some of the largest Oil & Gas companies areaddressing this issue head on with an open innovation strategy.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS:g Oil & Gas industry historically has been slow to incorporate innovation

and technologies from outside its industryg Low oil price and wage inflation are pressuring operators to look for

solutions from outside Oil & Gas g How some operators are partnering with start-ups and Silicon Valley to

accelerate their innovation strategy

SESSION ABSTRACT:The process of drilling an onshore well has changed little over the past century. However, will new technology and the lack of qualified drilling crews force the industry toautomate its drilling operations? Join this interactive session with thought leaders across the industry.
