In episode 63 of the Data Modernization Minute, Wayne Sadin recounts what he learned from participating in a panel on data governance.
Highlights
00:41 — A well-known company invited Wayne through LinkedIn to sit in on a panel discussion for its business management and senior information technology (IT) management on the value and mechanics of data governance.
01:23 — There were about seven people on the panel, including a number of chief data officers (CDOs), a college professor, who was the moderator, and a CMO, who is a data owner and data steward. The discussion covered topics ranging from defining data governance in business terms to issues such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) bias.
02:00 — Also covered was why data governance matters, and the right and wrong ways to do it, among other topics. The company didn’t record the discussion on purpose, so that it would be unencumbered.
02:30 — Wayne learned a lot from listening to people with years of experience in data. He learned about data governance, data management, and how companies see them in the real world.
02:54 — Maybe holding a panel discussion of this kind is something you can do within your company. Certainly, academics in your area would be interested in participating. And who knows, if you reach out to somebody on LinkedIn, you may just find that they’re willing to invest the time.
