Join Nick Bennett, Research and Analysis Director, and Dominic Goslett, Chief Revenue Officer, a data expert and commercial leader, in conversation as they unpack what it actually takes to close the intelligence gap.

AI adoption is accelerating, but returns aren't keeping pace. For most organisations, the bottleneck is the data behind the model: siloed, static, and disconnected from the intelligence workflows that actually drive decisions.

• What Connected Intelligence means in practice, and why it matters for your organisation
• The GlobalData MCP Ecosystem: what it is, what it enables, and how it works in practice
• A closer look at how connected intelligence applies to a real BD&L workflow
