Designed to encourage meaningful conversation, practical insight sharing, and peer-to-peer networking, this Regional Exchange will bring together practitioners looking to strengthen collaboration, improve governance strategies, and better prepare their organizations for AI readiness. This event is open to both members and non-members.

Information Governance and Data Governance: Fraternal Twins or Two Solitudes?

Organizations are facing a plethora of increasing risks due to poor information governance and data governance (IG / DG) practices. The risks are further amplified by AI, including the use of large language models (LLM), small language models (SLM), Agentic AI, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), etc. Are IG and DG really two separate worlds or fraternal twins working toward the same goal? How can integrating IG and DG help organizations manage and reduce operational and compliance risks? Come with your thoughts and questions to help us unpack what makes these disciplines different, what they have in common, and how they can come closer together. The panelists will cover:

  • A clear, practical definition of governance from both Information Management and Data Management perspectives

  • Insights into why IG and DG often operate separately from historical culture and operational differences to conflicting vocabularies and organizational politics

  • Strategies to bridge the divide, including unified language, lifecycle initiatives, joint ownership, and blended AI-focused skills

  • Guidance on policies for IG versus DG to improve the organization’s readiness to adopt IA tools

Why attend this panel discussion?

 If you are an information or data practitioner, then this in-person panel discussion will show you how to work better across teams, cooperate with colleagues in related roles, develop a shared narrative, and set up rules and processes that actually work in today’s world, focused on digital transformation and AI readiness.  
 

What can you take away from this panel discussion?

This session is designed for IG and DG practitioners who want to: 

  • Understand the philosophical and practical differences between data and information governance
  • Know how to foster collaboration between information and data teams to achieve objectives and outcome
  • Learn strategies to create a cohesive governance approach to improve organizational compliance and risk management
