Data Governance and CSR: Evolving Together

In a world where every claim your organization makes — about sustainability, equity, or social impact — is scrutinized by regulators, investors, and the public, one truth stands out: Your data has never mattered more. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) isn’t just about good intentions — it is about trustworthy, transparent data that stands up to […]

Why Data Governance Still Matters in the Age of AI

At a recent conference, I witnessed something that’s become far too common in data leadership circles: genuine surprise that chief data officers consistently cite culture — not technology — as their greatest challenge. Despite a decade of research and experience pointing to the same root cause, conversations still tend to focus on tools rather than […]

Understanding Data Pipelines: Why They Matter, and How to Build Them

Building effective data pipelines is critical for organizations seeking to transform raw research data into actionable insights. Businesses rely on seamless, efficient, scalable pipelines for proper data collection, processing, and analysis. Without a well-designed data pipeline, there’s no assurance that the accuracy and timeliness of data will be available to empower decision-making. Companies face several […]

The Role of AI in Mitigating Next-Generation Cyber Threats

The digital age has witnessed an exponential increase in data creation and interconnectivity, resulting in unprecedented challenges in cybersecurity. Businesses, governments, and individuals are perpetually at risk of cyber-attacks ranging from data breaches and financial theft to espionage and infrastructure sabotage. While necessary, traditional cybersecurity measures are often reactive rather than proactive, struggling to adapt […]

Continuous Delivery for Data Pipelines: A Practical Guide

What Is Continuous Delivery? Continuous delivery (CD) refers to a software engineering approach where teams produce software in short cycles, ensuring that software can be reliably released at any time. Its main goals are to build, test, and release software faster and more frequently. This process typically involves deploying every change to a production-like environment […]

AI’s Newest Employee: Who Bears the Burden of Your Digital Co-Workers?

Digital co-workers are no longer hypothetical. AI-driven agents (“Agentics”) are creeping into every function, every decision process, and every interaction within organizations. In some ways, they are the executive dream — they don’t need coffee breaks, demand raises, or call in sick. And yet, they’re reshaping work in ways few leaders are prepared to handle. […]

A Step Ahead: IoT Computing – Where Computing Occurs

There is always the need for computing to be more available and distributed, especially given the data volume generated from IoT. On the surface, it makes sense that most proponents of data processing have been advocating for cloud computing, to always send IoT data to the cloud. With IoT and cloud computing (later referred to […]

Decentralized, Centralized, and Federated Data Governance

In my discussions with CIOs over the last several years, they have repeatedly told me that they strongly dislike traditional data governance. And asked at times, could they just be data custodians. When I asked why, they said they either forced it top-down on their organization, and everyone disliked them for doing it; or, IT […]

Data Leader’s Playbook for Data Mapping

I’ve been thinking a lot about data mapping lately. I know, weird, right? With analytics, AI, cloud, etc., why would someone do that? What’s even stranger is that I’ve been thinking about its impact on data leaders. For clarity’s sake, I’m not talking about geographic maps with data points, I’m referring to the process of […]

Legal Issues for Data Professionals: Current Leading U.S. AI Laws

There is no nationwide federal law in the U.S. that specifically regulates the development, deployment, and use of AI in the private sector. (This contrasts with AI use in U.S. federal agencies, as discussed below.) This absence of such a federal law contrasts with the recently enacted AU AI law. Instead, in the U.S., there […]

Soft Skills for Data Professionals and Practical Ways to Learn Them

I have been in data, in some form or another, for over 20 years and have come a long way in both my technical and soft skills during that time. There are plenty of roles for data professionals that do not require soft skills, and if that’s what you are into, more power to you. […]

Data Crime: A Motorcycle Is Not a Honda Civic

I call it a “data crime” when someone is abusing or misusing data. When we understand these stories and their implications, it can help us learn from the mistakes and prevent future data crimes. The stories can also be helpful if you must explain the importance of data management to someone. The Story A man registered […]

The End of Agile – Part 6 (Alternatives to Agile)

In the first article, I laid out the basic premise for this series: an examination of how Agile has gone from the darling of the application development community to a virtual pariah that nobody wants to be associated with, and an exploration of the very important question of what we should replace it with. We […]

Data Mart vs. Data Lake: Understanding the Difference

In the ever-evolving landscape of data management, two key concepts have emerged as essential components for organizations seeking to harness the power of their data: data marts and data lakes. While both serve as repositories for storing and accessing data, they differ significantly in their structure, purpose, and approach to data management. Understanding the distinctions […]

The Risk and Promise of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping our world, influencing everything from the way we work to the way we live.

Data Governance Gets a New Impetus

Data governance has often been met with furrowed brows among CIOs — sometimes seen as the broccoli of the IT dinner plate: undoubtedly good for you, but not always eagerly consumed. CIOs often bore the brunt from organizations that were forced to do top-down data governance. With this said, defensive data governance has been a […]
