The Godfather of Data Governance: Bob Seiner on Data vs AI Governance, and The Data Catalyst Cubed

In this episode, I sit down with Bob Seiner, a true pioneer who has been working in data governance since before it was even called governance. We dive into why he calls BS on the trendy term "data enablement" and how his trademarked approach, Non-Invasive Data Governance, formalizes what organizations are already doing without beating employees over the head.We also unpack his latest concept, The Data Catalyst Cubed, and get into a fascinating discussion about the precarious state of data security in the age of LLMs and autonomous AI agents like OpenClaw. Plus, Bob shares some great war stories about building the T-DAN newsletter using Microsoft FrontPage back in 1997 and drops his best advice for standing out and building a personal brand in the noisy data industry.Where to find Bob:KIK Consulting: kikconsulting.com LinkedIn:   / robert-s-seiner-445313  Books: Non-Invasive Data Governance and The Data Catalyst Cubed
