## The next chapter: transformative trends in data governance

Learn how modern data leaders are ushering in a new world of data governance - through an approach that is programmatic, adaptive, and collaborative.

- **Making governance programmatic** - how data teams can adopt programmatic data governance, designed for eliminating manual work and shifting from reactive to proactive governance, through active metadata and DataOps.
- **Taking the adaptive route** - a one-size-fits-all approach to data governance doesn't work anymore. New paradigms like data mesh, products, contracts, and decentralization, and finding the right approach for your team.
- **Centered around collaboration** - data governance at its heart is about collaborating on data to use it to generate business value. How collaboration and trust can play a role in accelerating your data governance program.
