About Susan Icd.d
In a May 2023 panel discussion, Susan Doniz, Chief Information Officer and SVP of IT & Data Analytics at Boeing, discussed the role of data and analytics in providing predictability and stability within Boeing's strategy. She stated that the company has been using data and analytics to understand supply chain risks beyond tier one suppliers and to re-plan aircraft production based on supplier risk. Doniz also described the launch of a new tool called Cascade, which she characterized as a 4D planning tool for sustainability that models the impact of variables such as flight efficiency, sustainable aviation fuels, and fleet renewal. Doniz also addressed the importance of training her team in the skills needed to achieve these goals and described data as integral to a company's culture and storytelling. During the same discussion, she noted that failing to monitor data drift and model drift can make AI models "dangerous black boxes" that may lead to incorrect business decisions.
