Shifting Data Quality Left, New O'Reilly Book, and Data Contracts with Chad Sanderson and Mark Freeman from Gable

Join us as we catch up with Chad Sanderson and Mark Freeman from Gable, live from Big Data London.  Discover Chad's insights from his well-attended talk and why the data scene in London has everyone buzzing. We're diving deep into the  concept of shifting data quality left, ensuring upstream data producers are as invested in data governance, privacy, and quality as their downstream counterparts. Chad and Mark also give us a sneak peek into their upcoming O'Reilly book on Data Contracts, complete with the charming Algerian racer lizard as its symbolic mascot.

In this engaging conversation, Chad and Mark offer practical advice for data operators ready to embark on the journey of data contracts. They emphasize the importance of starting small and nurturing a strong cultural initiative to ensure success. Listen as they share strategies on engaging leadership and fostering a collaborative environment, providing a framework not just for implementation but also for securing leadership buy-in. This episode is packed with expert advice and real-world experiences that are a must-listen for anyone in the data field.
