What is the Board-Level Data Talent Strategy course about?
Data initiatives move fast, often outside traditional compliance sightlines. When data scientists, engineers, and analysts aren’t aligned with governance principles from day one, risk accumulates silently. Compliance teams react too late, not because they lack insight, but because they weren’t part of the team design. The gap isn’t technical; it’s structural.
