Spoke on a panel recently at CDO Summit 2021 regarding data governance along with Moderator: John Hershberger, Practice Lead for Financial Services and Insurance at Wavicle; and Mark Pannek, Data Governance Leader at ADM
It was a really interesting panel, with each of us from different kind of organisations, from different continents too.
Some common themes that emerged were:
- the complexity of the modern data landscape
- issues around securing data effectively
- the perennial issue around tagging data for classification purposes (this one has been around since at least the 1990s)
- tracking provenance of data
- the plethora of new compliance obligations, especially if your organisation operates on a global basis
- the challenges of managing data governance across the organisation
