Time: 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET
Businesses succeed when they establish a holistic practice for governing the data and analytics that they deliver into production applications.
For modern organizations, it’s not enough to know whether their data is trustworthy, relevant, and actionable for all uses. They must also have confidence in the accuracy, fairness, transparency, and compliance of the machine learning models they’ve built and trained from this data. And as they deploy more sophisticated applications such as generative AI into production, organizations need to know whether they’re using the most effective governance tools for mitigating potential issues such as hallucinations and toxic outputs.
In this webinar, TDWI senior research director James Kobielus will provide an overview of best practices for holistic data and analytics governance in modern organizations. He will be joined by experts from Precisely to discuss the following key issues:
- How can organizations build a strong business justification for holistic data and analytics governance practices?
- What organizational models—ranging from centralized to hub-and-spoke to decentralized—are most effective for holistic data and analytics governance?
- What tools, skills, roles, and team structures are most appropriate for holistic data and analytics governance across hybrid and multicloud enterprise computing environments?
- What advanced tools and platforms—such as data catalogs, lineage and impact analysis, metadata management, and retrieval-augmented generation—are best suited to governance of new data and analytics applications?
- What personalized dashboards do business and technical stakeholders require to track relevant data and analytics governance metrics and do their jobs most effectively?
