Data Forum – Online Webinar

Data Analytics Monthly Forum

Exploring Data Mesh: Autonomy, Agility and Better
Outcomes at Scale

Tuesday 4th November 2025

12pm – 1pm

This event is a webinar

Join us for our November Data Analytics Monthly Forum and explore data mesh architecture!

Our monthly data forum is designed to bring together organisations of all sizes to discuss the latest trends and challenges in the data landscape. 

Our Data Analytics Monthly Forum, is now bigger and better than ever! Our primary goal is to ensure that you derive maximum benefits from these sessions and that we consistently deliver value to you. For that reason, we encourage you to reach out to us about topics you’d like to see covered and engage in discussions during the forums.

Traditional data architectures are hitting their limits. As organisations grow through mergers, expand across multiple departments, or collaborate with multiple partners, the ‘single data lake for everyone’ approach creates bottlenecks. Many organisations are then left with same fundamental tension: how do we maintain central oversight while giving teams the autonomy they need to move fast?

Join us on the 4th of November, where we’ll discuss how a data mesh architecture provides the answer – tackling data security challenges through distributed, decentralised ownership.

Our experts will explore what it is, how it can help and how it creates an architecture that enables teams to self-serve standardised data capabilities while maintaining compliance and collaboration.

Agenda

  • The Real Architecture Behind the Hype
    Move beyond surface-level definitions to understand what data mesh is and how mesh architectures function.
  • The Autonomy-Governance Balance
    Discover how teams can self-serve data capabilities while maintaining security, compliance, and data quality standards across different frameworks.
  • Practical Implementation Patterns
    Explore the proven models and learn when to centralise, when to distribute, and how to connect the two.
  • Is Data Mesh Right for You?
    Walk away with the ability to assess whether mesh architecture fits your organisation’s needs and what your next steps could be.

This month, see how mesh thinking applies whether you’re working within an NHS trust sharing patient data, councils collaborating on citizen services, banks deploying fraud detection capabilities, or private equity firms helping portfolio companies leverage centralised resources.

Don’t miss this opportunity and register now to find out all you need to know about data mesh architecture!
