Data & AI Governance Workshop
Discover where your data and AI governance stands, and where to focus next in this complimentary half-day workshop.
What is the Simpson Associates Data & AI Governance Workshop?
The Data & AI Governance Workshop is a complimentary half-day session designed to help your organisation take an honest look at how data and AI are governed today. Guided by our governance experts, and delivered on-site or remotely, you’ll work through the core domains of the DAMA-DMBOK framework, giving clarity and structure to your governance journey.
Conducted as a half-day group workshop with 4 to 8 leaders representing different areas of your organisation, the workshop will enable data and AI leaders to assess the current situation regarding data and AI governance, and collaboratively identify priorities.
Why Data & AI Governance matters now
AI adoption is accelerating quickly, leaving many organisations making decisions based on data that lacks clear ownership or accountability.
Simultaneously, regulations such as the EU AI Act, DORA and data protection legislation increasingly require organisations to demonstrate that governance is embedded, evidenced and understood. Technology can support this, but sustainable governance depends on defined roles, decision rights, processes and business engagement.
This is where the half-day workshop delivers value.
