The Data Product Revolution

Most organizations don’t have a data problem.
They have a trust problem.
We’ve built faster pipelines, cheaper storage, and prettier dashboards.
And yet teams still argue over numbers, rebuild the same datasets, and don’t trust what’s already there.

At the next Kansas City Data Professionals meetup, I’ll be walking through what “Data as a Product” actually means in practice:

• Why ownership is the missing ingredient
• Why governance keeps failing when it’s bolted on
• How trust, reuse, and speed are designed, not hoped for
• How to start without a massive transformation program

This isn’t theory or vendor hype. It’s a practical operating model for teams that want data people actually trust and reuse.

If you’ve ever asked “why don’t people trust our data?” this one’s for you.
