Why Governance Programs Struggle in the AI Era

Traditional governance was built for compliance, not collaboration. The result? Siloed frameworks nobody uses, little to no adoption, de-prioritised programs and missed opportunities to enable trusted AI.

Data Governance Manager
“Our governance program was built for compliance — it doesn’t support the speed and complexity of AI projects.”
Data Quality Manager
“When a schema changes upstream, I worry about dashboards breaking… but with AI pipelines, the stakes are even higher.”
Data Platform Lead
“We know governance is critical, but we don’t know how to start without slowing down AI initiatives.”
Data Steward
“Everyone talks about AI, but our governance framework doesn’t even support the basics of modern analytics.”
