February Chapter Meeting

Accelerating Data Governance with Change Management and Data Fluency

For years, data governance has lived under a cloud of resistance – perceived as bureaucracy, slowdown, or “corporate medicine.” But in the era of AI, trust, transparency, and accountability are no longer optional. They’re accelerators. In this session, Robert S. Seiner introduces a new, energizing narrative for governance and unveils insights from his newest book, The Data Catalyst³ (Cubed): Accelerating Data Governance with Change Management and Data Fluency. Instead of forcing governance on people, Bob shows how to ignite it through small wins, language shifts, lightweight stewardship, and fluency that empowers business teams instead of intimidating them. 

Attendees will learn how governance becomes a catalyst when combined with organizational change and data fluency – multiplying value rather than adding burden. Bob will also debut the Data Compass, a practical, visual navigation tool that helps leaders locate where their organization truly stands and what direction unlocks the fastest business value. This session is strategic, practical, and actionable – built for business and data people who need to move fast, managers who need adoption, and practitioners who want clarity and confidence. 

Takeaways:

• How to reposition governance as a business accelerator, not a control function
• Why governance × change × data fluency creates exponential impact in AI-driven organizations
• How small, visible wins outperform complex governance programs — with proof
• How to use the Data Compassä to locate your organization’s position and navigate toward value
• Practical steps to implement Non-Invasive Data Governance® without disruption
