In an age where data is the lifeblood of modern organizations, the need for robust data governance has never been more critical. Yet, as history has shown, adopting significant change can be quite challenging.

This session draws compelling comparisons to the Meiji Restoration, which launched Japan into the modern era, urging participants to reevaluate their data management strategies. Just as the Meiji leaders enacted transformative reforms to advance their nation, contemporary business leaders must be prepared to evolve and innovate to fully leverage their data strategic capabilities.

Through engaging real-life case studies and insightful discussions, attendees will discover the essential elements of creating a data governance framework grounded in the five rhyming cornerstones of embracing integrity, pacing infrastructure, chasing insight, facing impediments, and racing implementation. By learning to avoid expensive data silos and utilize information as a competitive edge, this session offers a strategic guide for organizations aiming to replicate the Meiji Transformation's spirit of visionary leadership and effective execution.

Attendees will leave empowered to spearhead a data governance revolution within their own enterprises, poised to navigate the complexities of the digital age with confidence and clarity.
