Oracle Fusion ERP has long served as a system of record, capturing transactions, enforcing controls, and providing the visibility organizations need to run the business. But in the agentic era, leading enterprises are looking beyond static reporting toward systems of action that can surface risk, recommend next steps, and enable faster, more intelligent execution across finance, procurement, projects, and operations. This session explores how Oracle Fusion ERP customers can use data analytics as the foundation for that shift. We'll examine how modern analytics can unify data across business functions, deliver deeper operational insight, improve forecasting and decision-making, and help organizations move from hindsight to real-time, action-oriented management. Through examples across payables, spend, projects, and working capital, attendees will see how analytics can help identify root causes sooner, predict issues earlier, and support smarter, faster responses. Attendees will also learn the business value of building an action-oriented analytics foundation: shorter cycle times, reduced manual effort, stronger governance, improved productivity, and better business outcomes at scale. The session will close with a practical roadmap for how to begin orchestrating this shift within your own Oracle Fusion ERP environment.

Despite significant investments in analytics, automation, and AI, many organizations still face inconsistent reporting, duplicate records, and low trust in their data. The core issue is the absence of a unified, governed data foundation. Without a true single source of truth, even the most advanced technologies cannot deliver their intended value. Fragmented master data across systems—JD Edwards, Oracle EBS, SAP, PeopleSoft, Glovia, Syteline, Salesforce, and modern Cloud ERPs—continues to create silos that limit visibility, efficiency, and confident decision making. This session highlights how Master Data Management (MDM) helps organizations address these challenges by creating a centralized, trusted data foundation across ERP, AP automation, and HR systems. Participants will learn the essential elements of a modern MDM strategy, the risks associated with weak data governance, and practical steps to align business and IT around governed master data. Through real world examples, attendees will gain actionable guidance to start or accelerate their MDM journey—without major disruption—while building a strong platform for scalable automation and digital transformation.

Business analysts are often valued for being helpful—finding answers, correcting misunderstandings, and delivering clear documentation. But over time, that helpfulness can unintentionally undermine something just as important: confidence. This talk explores how everyday interactions with stakeholders can either reinforce dependence or build confidence in end users—and shifting how we respond can make a meaningful difference. Rather than focusing on formal training, the session looks at how teaching moments naturally show up in the flow of work and how business analysis professionals can create teaching moments. By becoming more intentional about these teachable moments, business analysis professionals help their stakeholders and users participate more confidently in problem-solving and decision-making. The business analysis role moves from only providing answers to becoming a trusted partner—working alongside users to co create solutions that reflect their needs, and leading to better outcomes.

Many business analysts are excellent at understanding systems—but far less comfortable guiding the human side of change. When the focus of the change conversation stays on the technology, it becomes anchored in what the system can do rather than creating a shared understanding of the problem that needs to be solved. This session is for business analysts and technical practitioners who bring strong technology and domain expertise to their work, but struggle to shift from defining solutions to facilitating effective change conversations. In this talk, we explore the mindset shift required to move from technical expert to effective change enabler. Using the IIBA Business Analysis Core Concept Model (BACCM) as a practical framework, we explore how business analysts can re orient their role toward guiding conversations, surfacing assumptions, navigating ambiguity, and keeping stakeholders focused on outcomes rather than outputs. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to leverage their expertise in service of change—by creating shared understanding, guiding learning, and helping organizations move forward when the path isn’t fully defined. Participants will learn how to: •Recognize the mindset shift required to move from solution expertise to change facilitation •Use BACCM as a conversational guide for framing change discussions •Ask questions that enable sensemaking instead of providing answers too early •Facilitate productive change conversations even when information is incomplete •Focus their work on outcomes, learning, and decisions rather than artifacts
