    Modernizing the CDO Office in banking and finance

    Most organizations are still managing data as a collection of tables and reports, but the future demands a shift to truly business-owned data products. Brandon Dombroski, Managing Director, Head of Data Quality and Data Platform Business Ownership at MUFG, reveals how transforming data ownership and engagement unlocks rapid scalability and reduces costs - like cutting data quality rule expenses by 99% - and positions data as a strategic asset rather than just a technical commodity.

    Why AI is forcing us to rethink data governance culture

    For too long, data governance has been framed as a constraint as opposed to the competitive advantage it ought to be. Which is exactly why Federico Frumento, Senior Data Governance Manager at Vodafone, makes the case for governance as a business enabler—one that helps organizations move faster, make better decisions and achieve real commercial outcomes. By reframing governance around commercial outcomes in an era of generative AI, organizations can create a powerful “carrot” for investment—one that makes the connection between data quality and trustworthy AI impossible to ignore. Because, in the end, lasting impact comes from treating data governance as a collaborative discipline, where flexible frameworks adapt to real business needs and bridge business and technical teams to drive meaningful, cultural change. Three reasons you should listen to this episode: 1. Data governance as a growth lever, not a roadblock. How reframing governance around business outcomes changes adoption, momentum and impact. 2. GenAI is the new catalyst for governance investment. Why the demand for trustworthy AI makes data quality—and governance—impossible to ignore. 3. What cultural change in data governance actually looks like. Flexible frameworks, collaboration and trust are essential to making governance stick across the business.

    Why data literacy is actually everyone’s job

    What does it really take to turn fragmented data into something teams can trust and use at scale? For Cirium’s Head of Data Governance, Candice Parfitt, it starts with tackling data silos head-on—using governance as the foundation for unifying data after years of growth through acquisition. Recorded live at Data Citizens on the Road in London, Candice joins Thomas Brence to unpack what “good governance” actually demands from an organization. For governance to work in the real world, it should be seen as a shared discipline—one grounded in fit-for-purpose data, reinforced through continuous education and intentionally embedded in everyday work. And as adoption grows, governance must be built in—not bolted on—so access, accountability and trust can scale together. Three reasons you should listen to this episode: 1. Start where governance actually matters: Learn why getting foundational data fit for purpose is the fastest way to unlock better products, clearer analysis and stronger trust. 2. Make data literacy stick: See how continuous, real-world education—using your own data and use cases—builds alignment across teams without slowing work down. 3. Move toward governance by design: Understand when and how to shift from open access to intentional controls by capturing metadata early and logging real use cases.
