Data Mesh – Federated Data Governance: Structuring Teams and Driving Accountability
In many organizations, data governance is struggling to find its place, providing static policies focused on compliance rather than enablers of innovation. However, modern organizations need governance frameworks that are flexible, computational, and adaptive to distributed ecosystems. By introducing computational models and distributed governance principles, Winfried Etzel shows how to create a scalable, adaptable data team and framework.
