 versity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=165&proposalid=16434\nIn today’s fa
 st-paced digital world, data and AI governance are no longer optional 
 - they are essential for organizations to remain competitive, secure, and e
 thical. What happens if you don't have a Chief Data Officer (CDO) or eq
 uivalent to lead the charge? In many organizations, these responsibilities 
 fall to an executive without a singular focus on data, which can leave crit
 ical governance efforts sidelined...how do you find the right leader to ste
 p up, take ownership, and drive data and AI governance forward with the urg
 ency they demand?\n\nThis session presents a structured approach to identif
 ying the most effective executive sponsor for data and AI governance by:\n\
 n	Exploring how the CDO role has evolved over time\n
 Identifying appropriate evaluative factors to measure fit\n
 Defining custom rating scales for each evaluative factor\n
 Scoring, ranking, and comparing sponsors objectively\n
 Repeating the process to track alignment and support over time\n\nYou will 
 learn a practical, data-driven framework for evaluating and recalibrating e
 xecutive leadership for data and AI governance over time, ensuring the foun
 dation of your organization's data practices remains resilient and stro
 ng as needs evolve.\n
