As we see all around us, change is rapidly becoming the norm, not the exception. Whether it is the rise of machine learning, AI, robotic process automation, or the ever-increasing focus by regulators on data management/privacy, companies are trying hard to understand and integrate these changes into their data management models - more reactive and with little forethought. If these changes continue at the same pace, what would the data governance operating model look like in 10-years? While this may not seem like the right question today given all the current challenges, it is imperative that we break out of the reactive model and start thinking about how data management needs to evolve over time. This session will provide insight into: 

  • The disruptive forces that are affecting change today and in the future
  • Potential implications of future change in data governance and data management 
  • What a future state data governance operating model could look like
  • What a data governance/management roadmap might look like to get us to the future
