Known as The Data Governance Coach, Nicola Askham helps organisations understand and manage their data better.

For over two decades she has helped organisations reduce costs and inefficiencies. Typically, people turn to her because their data is a mess and they need help unravelling it, or because they realise that new initiatives are failing because of poor quality data.

Description:

Many organisations struggle with Data Governance because they try to do too much, too soon. This practical webinar cuts through the complexity and shows you how to implement Data Governance that actually works.

Drawing on real consulting experience and insights from her new book Effective Data Governance (published by Kogan Page), Nicola will share a proven framework that helps organisations of any size move from overwhelmed to in control.

What attendees will learn:

- Why the 'Big Bang' approach to Data Governance fails (and what to do instead)

- A sustainable four-stage roadmap: Prepare, Design, Implement, and Evolve

- How to prioritise for quick wins and measurable business results

- Six core principles that make Data Governance succeed

- Where AI can help with Data Governance (and where it can't)

- Practical first steps to reduce overwhelm immediately

This session is perfect for Data Governance practitioners, data leaders, and anyone responsible for improving their organisation's data management who wants actionable guidance rather than theoretical frameworks.

How to do Data Governance without getting overwhelmed

As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in enterprise and public sector operations, organisations are under increasing pressure to ensure responsible and compliant deployment. This webinar explores the essential relationship between AI governance and data governance, and how aligning the two can help build a more resilient and trustworthy foundation for innovation.

We will examine how data governance provides the structure, accountability, and quality controls that AI governance depends on. The session will cover how the two disciplines interact, where they diverge, and how organisations can design governance frameworks that support both data and AI initiatives without duplication or confusion.

This session is intended for data leaders, governance professionals, and AI programme owners who are navigating the complexities of ethical AI, regulatory expectations, and operational readiness. If your organisation is exploring how to scale AI responsibly, this webinar will offer valuable insights into bridging the gap between policy and practice

He is passionate about helping organisations build trust and unlock business value through better use of their data, sharing real-world insights on how to operationalise data governance at scale in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.

AI Governance Meets Data Governance: Building the Bridge

In large organizations, the integrity of property/address data and asset/infrastructure data is foundational to operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and customer service excellence. This presentation explores

1. The often-overlooked role of reference data in Master Data Management (MDM)
2. Highlighting how poor governance of location and asset-related reference data can lead to fragmentation, reporting errors, and integration challenges
3. Managing reference data beyond distinct or unique values ensuring that full lists of permissible values are captured, managed and maintained throughout the enterprise through the right processes, workflows and by the right individuals (stewards/owners)
4. Giving Master Data the added value of, not just being a list of key business data for operations & service provision to the customer, but being available to consume for context and perspective in reporting, insights and integration

Takeaways:
Understand the strategic importance of reference data in MDM, especially Customer and Asset Domains.
Understand how to design and govern reference data to support enterprise-wide consistency.

To achieve success in your data journey, it is crucial to establish effective governance, standardised enterprise data practices, and balance overall goals with the needs of individual business areas.

Governance provides a structured framework for analytics and decision-making, while standardisation enhances efficiency by establishing common practices. Together, these elements promote a culture of transparency and accountability, enabling organisations to adapt to change and drive sustainable growth.

The Unsung Hero of Data Architecture: Unlocking the Power of Reference Data

Beyond the hype and the marketing AI is changing the way we view data management both from a need for broader scoped, more accurate data sets to opportunities in automation that can accelerate value and reduce risk.

But among the promise there is an abundance of "marketecture", AI being added to everything and a lot of disillusionment in its application. How to determine when it is good for a purpose and not for others? How can we apply critical thinking and common patterns to see when it is likely to work for us and help us avoid moving from data silos to insight silos?

In this engaging fireside chat we cut through the unsubstantiated hype to the modalities that provide real value and controversially we discuss common thought traps (that even Nobel prize winners and leading journalists are falling into) and how to avoid them.

The Value of Master Data Management in Sustainability

With AI continuing to dominate business and leader discussions, those leaders that fail to create a robust data strategy and adopt good data governance risk not achieving lasting ROI and competitive agility.

Increasingly, organisations need a strategic and disciplined approach to acquiring, growing, refining, safeguarding and deploying data to improve the maturity of their enterprise data lifecycle as a perquisite for success, especially with AI.

The more successful leaders around the world are adopting a proactive approach to data management, emphasizing awareness and understanding across the organization. This shift frames data and analytics as a product that drives growth and innovation to manage risk and reduce costs (Gartner, 2023).


Join this 45-minute webinar with speaker Ben Meade, Director of Ringfence and expert in the field of data strategy, governance and management, where we will delve into the key factors that should be on every executive's radar when deciding which data creates the most business value, and how to effectively safeguard and manage this increasingly invaluable asset.

Information Fitness

Data literacy is now a fundamental driver of cultural transformation, decision-making, operational efficiency, and innovation. Without a data-literate workforce, organisations struggle to fully leverage AI, analytics, and emerging technologies.

In this session, we’ll explore:

    The key benefits of Data Literacy – From fostering a confident, data-driven culture to reducing reliance on data teams and accelerating insights. We’ll hear real-world examples from NFU Mutual.

    Overcoming common barriers – Addressing fear of data, leadership buy-in, bridging technical and non-technical gaps, and managing time and resource constraints with scalable, persona-based learning strategies.

    The power of strategic collaboration – Why a dedicated Data Literacy Manager and external partnerships can drive sustained impact, with insights from Farran on stakeholder management and business case development.

    How to get started – Practical steps to assess your current data culture, gain executive buy-in, identify internal champions, and create urgency for investment in data literacy.

For those already on the journey, we’ll discuss how to measure and articulate ROI, ensuring that data literacy is seen as a revenue driver, not an expense. Let’s move beyond tool investments and empower the silent majority because being data-driven is about people, not just technology.

The Business Impact of a Data-Literate Workforce

Data mesh, data as a product and decentralised data are all recent terms increasingly making headlines on how to pass data to business functions for exploitation and monetisation. However, how does this affect governance, and importantly ethics? Does monetising and treating data as an asset have negative connotations?
