Episode notes
Evolving Data Strategies at Scale
- Cox Automotive evolved from siloed data teams into a federated model over about nine years.
- Moritz highlighted Siemens' cyclical centralization and decentralization waves every few years.
Attract Rather Than Force Adoption
- Make data platform offerings so attractive that teams prefer to join rather than resist.
- Avoid forcing teams; instead, align solutions to be clearly better and easier to use.
Data Mesh Principles Applied
- Domain-specific ownership coupled with treating data as a product fosters accountability and quality.
- Logical domain separation and governed access enable scalable self-service data use.
