For most enterprises, data governance carries the weight of compliance, audit, and risk controls. Yet organizations that govern their data well can outperform those that don't, not because governance merely constrains risk, but because it builds the trust that makes faster, more confident decisions possible.
The challenge is cultural as much as technical. Governance frameworks that clarify ownership, strengthen lineage, and establish accountability across business units are not implemented by technology alone. They require a change in how organizations think about data, from an operational liability to a strategic asset that earns its value through integrity.
Join TDWI research fellow Donald Farmer and experts from Capgemini and Salesforce for a panel discussion on what it takes to build governance that works with the business rather than against it. Drawing on Capgemini's Active Data Governance framework and the Salesforce Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud, the session explores how enterprises move from governance as a compliance exercise to governance as a foundation for AI-driven performance. Topics include:
- Why data ownership and lineage are the practical starting points for enterprise trust
- How a trust-first mindset changes the culture around data, not just the policies
- Designing governance frameworks that keep pace with AI without sacrificing control
- Measuring governance not by what it prevents, but by what it makes possible
