 azzarella\n\nMost of us have the program. We have the policy, the coun
 cil, the stewards, and the catalog. And a lot of us have the quiet sus
 picion that none of it is quite working — that the policy nobody reads
 , the council nobody attends, and the catalog nobody updates aren't re
 ally governing anything. We're not imagining it. In a global study of 
 data governance practitioners the artifacts of governance turned out t
 o be nearly everywhere. Whether governance actually happened varied en
 ormously. Having the structure and getting the outcome are two differe
 nt things.\n\nHere's how we got here. Data governance began as a way t
 o help people coordinate and to agree on what things meant and who dec
 ided what. After the financial crisis, regulators changed the incentiv
 es, and governance was rebuilt as a defensive control function: prove 
 you complied, document everything, satisfy the auditor. Compliance is 
 a legitimate floor, and in regulated industries it isn't optional. The
  compliance trap is what happens when it becomes the ceiling — when th
 e entire purpose of the program shrinks to producing evidence, and the
  program slowly drifts away from the work it was supposed to govern. T
 he artifacts stay. The coordination leaves. Then the reorganization co
 mes, and the program is gone. This session tells that story, shares wh
 at practitioners around the world actually said is getting in their wa
 y (spoiler: it isn't technology), and makes the case that governance i
 sn't something you install and audit — it's something people do, or do
 n't. Leave with a clearer read on whether your own program is truly wo
 rking or merely present, and a sense of what makes governance survive 
 the next reorg.\nDr. Tony Mazzarella is a data leader and researcher w
 orking at the intersection of data quality, metadata, and governance. 
 He has led large-scale data quality and enterprise data management ini
 tiatives across the NGO and financial services sectors, with informati
 on quality as the throughline.
