 _source=brighttalk-transact\n\nPresenter: Dr. Tony Mazzarella\n\nMost 
 of us have the program. We have the policy, the council, the stewards,
  and the catalog. And a lot of us have the quiet suspicion that none o
 f it is quite working — that the policy nobody reads, the council nobo
 dy attends, and the catalog nobody updates aren't really governing any
 thing. We're not imagining it. In a global study of data governance pr
 actitioners the artifacts of governance turned out to be nearly everyw
 here. Whether governance actually happened varied enormously. Having t
 he structure and getting the outcome are two different things.\n\nHere
 's how we got here. Data governance began as a way to help people coor
 dinate and to agree on what things meant and who decided what. After t
 he financial crisis, regulators changed the incentives, and governance
  was rebuilt as a defensive control function: prove you complied, docu
 ment everything, satisfy the auditor. Compliance is a legitimate floor
 , and in regulated industries it isn't optional. The compliance trap i
 s what happens when it becomes the ceiling — when the entire purpose o
 f the program shrinks to producing evidence, and the program slowly dr
 ifts away from the work it was supposed to govern. The artifacts stay.
  The coordination leaves. Then the reorganization comes, and the progr
 am is gone. This session tells that story, shares what practitioners a
 round the world actually said is getting in their way (spoiler: it isn
 't technology), and makes the case that governance isn't something you
  install and audit — it's something people do, or don't. Leave with a 
 clearer read on whether your own program is truly working or merely pr
 esent, and a sense of what makes governance survive the next reorg.\nD
