Who Funds Shared Data Foundations? Ownership, Co-Investment and Value Attribution

Shared data foundations often benefit multiple functions without having a single natural owner or business case. Join senior data leaders to compare enterprise, co-investment and demand-led funding models, and examine the evidence used to make investment decisions.

Discussion questions:

  • How do organisations define which shared data foundations warrant enterprise funding and which require business co-investment?
  • What evidence distinguishes genuinely shared demand from capabilities being built ahead of — or disconnected from —business need?
  • How are costs and benefits attributed across functions without double-counting value or discouraging participation?
