 . 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 q
 uiet suspicion that none of it is quite working — that the policy nobo
 dy reads, the council nobody attends, and the catalog nobody updates a
 ren't really governing anything. We're not imagining it. In a global s
 tudy of data governance practitioners the artifacts of governance turn
 ed out to be nearly everywhere. Whether governance actually happened v
 aried enormously. Having the 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 coordinate and to agree on what things meant and
  who decided what. After the financial crisis, regulators changed the 
 incentives, and governance was rebuilt as a defensive control function
 : prove you complied, document everything, satisfy the auditor. Compli
 ance is a legitimate floor, and in regulated industries it isn't optio
 nal. The compliance trap is what happens when it becomes the ceiling —
  when the entire purpose of the program shrinks to producing evidence,
  and the program slowly drifts away from the work it was supposed to g
 overn. The artifacts stay. The coordination leaves. Then the reorganiz
 ation comes, and the program is gone. This session tells that story, s
 hares what practitioners around the world actually said is getting in 
 their way (spoiler: it isn't technology), and makes the case that gove
 rnance isn't something you install and audit — it's something people d
 o, or don't. Leave with a clearer read on whether your own program is 
 truly working or merely present, and a sense of what makes governance 
 survive the next reorg.\nDr. Tony Mazzarella is a data leader and rese
 archer working at the intersection of data quality, metadata, and gove
 rnance. He has led large-scale data quality and enterprise data manage
 ment initiatives across the NGO and financial services sectors, with i
 nformation quality as the throughline.
