Data governance can feel like rules slowing you down – but done well, it does the opposite. It gives clarity, builds trust, and lets teams move faster with less risk.

This interactive session will explore how to make governance practical, human, and useful in your day-to-day work. We’ll focus on the real decisions people make every day, how to clarify ownership, and how to overcome common blockers without adding unnecessary overhead.

Through scenario-based exercises and a simple governance mapping activity, you’ll leave with actionable steps to take back to your organisation – helping you turn governance from a box-ticking exercise into a genuine business enabler.
