The Rock Bottom Data Feed

John Ladley and Mark Cooper are back with the fourth series of The Rock Bottom Data Feed! We're introducing some new segments; some in this episode and more in upcoming episodes (we would tell you more, but we want them to be a surprise).

Something else that we're trying this series is to do more long-form interviews. Instead of hours long episodes, though, we're splitting each conversation into two episodes. This allows us to go deeper into the topics, as well as to chase the squirrels that inevitably cross our paths.

We look forward to hearing what you think. Post a comment or send an email.

We lead off the fourth series with Stijn Christiaens, co-founder and Chief Data Citizen at Collibra. In this episode and the next, he'll be talking with us about what’s exciting, new, and changing in data management and governance. He's got a front-row seat. We also dig into how AI is breaking open unstructured data, pushing governance beyond “data governance” into “AI governance,” and why adoption (not tools) is the real measure of maturity. Best of all, Stijn is seeing executives finally take ownership. They're getting educated, reorganizing around data capabilities, and moving governance toward business-as-usual.

Series Three of the Rock Bottom Data Feed has been an exploration of AI and data. It's a big subject. Sometimes we got talking with our guests and next thing you know we've gone long or ventured into a topic that's beyond the scope of the episode. Never ones to let good conversation go to waste, we've accumulated those bits here. If you haven't already listened to the episodes in this series, go back and listen. If you have already listened to the episodes in this series, go back and listen anyway.

As a special bonus, we present Rosie Krantz and Goldie Stern at the AI Bootstrap (sponsored by Outplaced) in its entirety.

But first, we join Ben Counter and Pete Webster live at the Ponds Data Governance Bowl.

It is our pleasure to welcome to Rock Bottom, Tony Shaw, Founder and CEO of DATAVERSITY, the premiere resource for data education, whether delivered live, recorded, virtual, or in person. It is clear that data is becoming increasingly important for AI success, and in many ways, corporate success. But while data education is also becoming increasingly important, it is still undervalued by too many companies. Keeping up with the state of the art is key, and there's no substitute for being there in the room with other practitioners.

In this episode, we conclude the story of Roman Krantz and Gilbert Stern. Their expulsion from of the land of cubicles has been rough, but they may have found a port in the storm. Will AI be the demise of Roman and Gilbert, or will they rewrite their own ending?

Nearly a hundred thousand corporate employees have been terminated in mass layoffs this year. Most just in the past few months. And ostensibly because of AI.

We're not convinced.

Our scheduled guest was unexpectedly unavailable (and in case you're worried, we can confirm that he was not replaced by AI), so in this episode, John and Mark discuss these recent events and some of what the future holds. Maybe this batch wasn't totally due to AI, but it's coming.

In our first series, Doug Laney introduced us to Datanomics. He is also the author of Data Juice. In this episode he returns to Rock Bottom to go into more detail about the approaches and metrics companies can use to truly treat data as an asset.

To do that, we need to introduce data into the C-Suite. Most companies approach Data Governance through the CIO or CDO, and that has been moderately successful. It's good to have CEO interest, but too often that happens when data quality becomes so bad the CEO notices. Not the way you want that to. happen. Perhaps the CFO is a good option. Let's see.
