In this episode of the Rock Bottom Data Feed, John and Mark go half-way around the world, literally, to bring you Sam Spencer, CEO and co-founder of Aristotle Metadata. Drawing on experiences ranging from nursing to public service to entrepreneurship, Sam advocates for a more assertive approach to governance that emphasizes accountability, ownership, and organizational responsibility. The wide-ranging conversation covers ISO standards, metadata and asset management, and the parallels between data governance and quality improvement in other disciplines.
Sam caused a bit of a fuss down under with some unflattering observations about government investments in data. You can read about it on his substack.
We will also hear from the 8-Bit Consultants and drop in on an unusual Data Poetry Slam. If you have a verse or two to share, or a question in 256-characters, write us.
