ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What does it really take to turn fragmented data into something teams can trust and use at scale? For Cirium’s Head of Data Governance, Candice Parfitt, it starts with tackling data silos head-on—using governance as the foundation for unifying data after years of growth through acquisition.
Recorded live at Data Citizens on the Road in London, Candice joins Thomas Brence to unpack what “good governance” actually demands from an organization. For governance to work in the real world, it should be seen as a shared discipline—one grounded in fit-for-purpose data, reinforced through continuous education and intentionally embedded in everyday work.
And as adoption grows, governance must be built in—not bolted on—so access, accountability and trust can scale together.
Three reasons you should listen to this episode:
1. Start where governance actually matters: Learn why getting foundational data fit for purpose is the fastest way to unlock better products, clearer analysis and stronger trust.
2. Make data literacy stick: See how continuous, real-world education—using your own data and use cases—builds alignment across teams without slowing work down.
3. Move toward governance by design: Understand when and how to shift from open access to intentional controls by capturing metadata early and logging real use cases.
