Bigger pieces, some published and some still being written.

Published

Growing a data function

Put data people where the data work is, and build each business concept once: as shared tables, or with a thin platinum layer.

Published

Governance that says yes

My view of all twelve areas of data governance, from value and ownership to data sharing and AI, and how you'd show each one is working.

Published

Where your AI can run

Published

Planned

Planned

Planned

Turning a data platform into a revenue line, and what it takes to sell data and AI rather than just build it.
