A blog about Product Management, Data Management and Self-Driven Learning
Reflecting on the decline of my personal blog during the pandemic, driven by changes in search rankings and competition made me realise that there is more to the system than meets the eye. Inspired by a podcast featuring Cory Doctorow's concept of "enshittification," I now am determined to empower others to regain control over their online experiences and focus. Future posts will explore strategies for online protection.
After launching the DASUD Framework, I am now focused on AI governance, emphasising the importance of understanding fundamental problems to govern efficiently. I highlight the risks of multi-agent systems compromising data security and stress collaborative governance solutions. The piece invites readers to seek guidance on Data Governance and related topics.
The post discusses the importance of quality data in AI product management, outlining the DASUD model: Design, Acquire, Store, Use, and Delete. It emphasises defining success, collecting accurate data, securely storing it, ethical use, and timely deletion. Trust in data is crucial for effective AI implementation, ensuring good governance.
Data quality is crucial for effective decision-making, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. It encompasses attributes like accuracy, completeness, consistency, and timeliness. Establishing a data quality framework involves defining goals, conducting inventory, implementing tools, and continuous monitoring. Regular auditing ensures sustained quality, helping organisations turn data quality into a strategic advantage.
As businesses expand, effective data governance must evolve to address new challenges. Key strategies include establishing a solid foundation, anticipating growth needs, automating processes, expanding tools, introducing metrics, maintaining clear data ownership, and regularly reviewing the governance framework. These actions ensure data integrity, security, and compliance as organisations grow.
