24 DESIGN007 MAGAZINE I MAY 2024 oen with different raw materials. For example, a company I worked with had a product that was developed for high-speed digital applica- tions. But when I talk about controlling resin content and construction, you can get to target Dk and Df values for RF. Right at product devel- opment, we had a set of constructions to refer- ence for RF designs. If you wanted Dk of "X," here's your product. For Dk of "Y," it's the same resin system but a different construction and resin content. at is a perfect example of the same product being used in high-speed digital and RF. Hybrid constructions are also becom- ing more common. People build RF and digital into the same board. One of the selling points for the conventional laminate supplier that can also supply RF is that if given the choice, users always prefer to buy all the materials in a stack- up from the same company. Shaughnessy: Ed, this has been great. Thank you for your time. ank you. DESIGN007 Sixty-one percent of organizations are forced to evolve or rethink their data and analytics (D&A) operating model because of the impact of disruptive artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, according to a new Gartner Inc. survey. The annual Gartner Chief Data & Analytics Offi- cer (CDAO) survey was conducted from September through November 2023 among 479 chief data and analytics officers, chief data officers (CDO) and chief analytics officers (CAO) across the world. "Responding to the rapid evolution of D&A and AI technologies, CDAOs are wasting no time in mak- ing changes to their operating model," said Alan D. Duncan, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. CDAOs are doing it to support data-driven innova- tion and accelerate organizational agility, with data governance at the core. When asked about changes CDAOs need to make to their D&A operating model to be fit for current and future purpose, 38% of CDAOs said that their D&A architecture will be overhauled over the next 12-18 months. Twenty-nine percent of respondents said they will revamp how they manage data assets and adopt and apply governance policies, practices and standards. "While the management of their organization's D&A operating model is increasing year over year, no other role than the CDAO has the responsibility of many of the key enablers of AI, which include data governance, D&A ethics, and data and AI literacy," said Duncan. "The scope of respon- sibilities of the CDAO role has also expanded as budget and resource constraints become even more of a problem." CDAOs must explain to the CFO how any change in D&A fund- ing models aligns to the ratio of D&A value propositions as a utility, enabler or driver of the organization. "However, only 49% of surveyed CDAOs have established business outcome-driven metrics that allow stakeholders to track D&A value. In addition, 34% have not established business outcome metrics for D&A," said Duncan. (Source: Gartner Inc.) Gartner Survey: 61% of Organizations Evolving D&A Model Due to AI
