Wednesday 15th March 2023, 18:00

1 Lombard Street, London

Effective data governance facilitates the smooth running of an organisation. Its practitioners seek to guarantee data availability, ensure reliability, and mitigate against information misuse. As such, data governance is not an end itself. Rather it paves the way for business value by breaking down silos, elevating the integrity and quality of data, and putting actionable intelligence in the hands of those who need it.

Yet, in an age of complexity – greater data volume, velocity and variety than ever before – how do financial services organisations deliver data governance excellence?

What does good practice look like when infrastructure moves beyond traditional organisational perimeters, when hybrid cloud adds to the management overhead, when regulations restrict what’s possible, and when skills are scarce?

This roundtable is the perfect opportunity to explore all these themes – from compliance and accountability to skills and talent to the role of technology and data-led solutions in monitoring, mining, analysing, and protecting data.

The evening will feature subject matter expert Suranjan Som, Vice President, Financial Services Leader at Hitachi Vantara, with contributions from senior leaders across the financial services market. It is an unmissable opportunity to consider today’s challenges and opportunities with industry peers, and share data governance best practice.

Topics for discussion:

•What is the number one data governance challenge for FSIs?
•How do you manage increased data complexity in your organisation? How, for example, are you integrating data in the cloud with on-premise data?
•Who is responsible for data governance in your organisation?
•Where is the biggest skills gap when it comes to managing your data?
•How are you readying your business for future regulations, including the EU Data Governance Act? And how are you handling existing oversight, including the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) and BCBS 239?
•What does data governance good practice look like for FSIs?

Timings for the evening:

18:00 – 18:30 Welcome and refreshments
18:30 – 20:00 Introduction to fellow guests and roundtable discussion
