In today's data-driven world, organizations face the challenge of not only harnessing the power of data but also ensuring its responsible and effective use. This panel discussion will delve into the critical components of embedding data governance and data literacy into the fabric of organizational culture. Data governance forms the foundation of a robust data strategy, encompassing policies, processes, and frameworks to ensure data quality, integrity, and security.
