Topic: Driving Trusted Data through the Data Risk Committee
Speaker: Sandi Bowman
Senior Consultant, Data Governance Advisor
Session Summary:
Driving trusted data across an enterprise requires more than strong tools. It demands leadership alignment, clear accountability, and measurable oversight. This session explores how a top down Data Risk Committee model can effectively enable enterprise wide data governance, ensuring that data is managed as a critical business asset. Attendees will learn how enforceable policies and standards strengthen data risk management practices, and how key risk indicators (KRIs) provide actionable and measurable insight into an organization’s data risk posture. Drawing on real world experience, this session highlights lessons learned from maturing data risk practices within a complex organization and provides practical strategies for aligning governance initiatives with broader enterprise risk objectives. Participants will leave with tangible approaches to embedding governance into day to day operations and elevating data driven, risk aware decision making.
