Challenges in Winning Executive Buy-in for Data Governance Projects

The biggest challenge in data governance projects is obtaining executive buy-in and linking the investment in infrastructure and people to measurable outcomes. The need to leverage data and apply AI technology is generally understood, but the hesitation lies in ensuring a clear connection between the effort and the expected results. Transparency and evidence are crucial in winning executive buy-in, as the business needs to have confidence in the benefits that AI and machine learning models will bring. Providing connectivity between the models, the data, and the business outcomes is essential in building this trust.
