Structuring Business Unit Data Offices

Join an exclusive, small-group discussion for senior data and AI leaders, providing a confidential space to exchange insights, share challenges, and learn from peers.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

As organisations adopt federated operating models, business-unit data offices can bring governance, ownership and accountability closer to the business. This discussion will examine how organisations define their mandate, resource key roles and manage ownership issues across functions, domains and regions while maintaining enterprise-wide alignment. 

Discussion Questions:

• Where should business-unit data offices sit, and what mandate and authority do they need?
• How are data domains structured in a cross functional-regional set-up?
• Which data governance roles are required in BU data offices and domains and how do organisations determine realistic resourcing?
• How are particularly cross-domain data/process ownership issues governed?

Who should attend:  

This session is designed for senior data and analytics leaders who: 

• Have direct experience establishing or evolving governance capability within business units as part of a federated model 

and 

• Work within large, global organisations where governance spans multiple business units, domains and regions
