## Recalibrating the Data Governance Narrative

Bob Seiner is the President and Principal of KIK Consulting & Educational Services (KIKConsulting.com). Seiner has consulted with, and educated, many prominent organizations nationally and globally across numerous industries. This session will flip that script and introduce a data governance approach that embeds accountability into existing roles and processes without adding friction. Attendees will learn how to reframe governance as a business enabler and culture accelerator – not a compliance bottleneck – and walk away with practical strategies to gain executive buy-in, accelerate adoption, and make governance stick.

## Building a Continuous Data Pipeline

Scott Ambler is an Agile Data Strategist and Consulting Methodologist with Ambysoft Inc., leading the evolution of the Agile Data and Agile Modeling methods. Some people claim that data is the new oil, but in practice data is really the new water – without clean and sufficient data your organization cannot thrive. Clean data is required for better decision making, for better business processes, and for building and running better artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. In this talk Scott explores industry statistics on the impact of poor-quality data, the organizational implications of the “data is the new water” metaphor, shows how a DV2-based continuous data pipeline provides the enterprise data required by today’s organizations, and argues for the need to fix the f***ing data at the source.
