As organizations increasingly rely on data to drive decision-making, the importance of robust data governance frameworks has never been more critical. However, traditional approaches to data governance often prioritize compliance, control, and technology over the human elements that are equally essential for success. This session will explore a more people-centric approach that fosters trust, promotes data literacy, and encourages collaboration across departments. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between rigid governance structures and the dynamic needs of individuals who interact with data daily.

Ultimately, humanizing data governance is not just about ensuring compliance or protecting data assets; it's about empowering people to use data responsibly and effectively in ways that align with organizational values and societal norms. This approach can lead to more meaningful and impactful data governance practices, fostering a culture of shared responsibility and ethical data stewardship.

This session provides a useful dialogue between the two sides of the business—a CDO and an Audit Leader. These two leaders will explain the value propositions on building trust and partnership between the organizations and how that would lead to better Data Governance. They’ll provide deep insight into how they’ve successfully achieved their goals while providing a smooth process to evolve as technology and business needs change. They’re also prepared to take your questions…

• Aligning data governance strategy with an organization's overall business strategy
• Fostering strong partnerships between CDO organization and Audit
• Encouraging an enterprise-wide culture of collaboration
• Establishing a process for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of your governance framework
