AI-ready data starts with governance you can trust
In the age of AI, data governance is more important and valuable than ever. Governance is not optional; it is foundational. We ensure that the key resource, the data used for strategic goals – whether through reporting or AI applications – can be trusted to support confident business decisions.
When and for who is Data Governance relevant?
This service is designed for organizations that recognize that data is an asset, but struggle to bridge the gap between ambition and actual implementation. Whether you are just starting your journey in governance or want to scale – we help you along the way. Data governance does not concern only IT or data teams, it’s crucial for any business trying to get the most out of their data.
Business teams looking for quicker insights
We ensure your data is trusted, easy to find, and consistently defined. With clear ownership, quality standards, and built-in compliance, teams spend less time validating data or waiting for approvals and more time analyzing and acting on reliable information through self-service analytics.
AI-enabled teams
As an AI team, you've proven value with an AI solution, but you can't seem to manage to actually embed it in the daily processes. Industrialsing requires governance: clearly defined procesess that ensure ownership, quality and clear traceability of the data and models used.
Data teams stuck in firefighter mode
Address root causes instead of recurring issues. Clear ownership, standardized definitions, and quality controls reduce constant break-fix work, data confusion, and last-minute requests, freeing teams to focus on scalable pipelines, automation, and higher-value analytics instead of emergencies.

How we do it
We believe in governance that is fit for purpose. Whether your organisation is highly mature in using data looking for strong guardrails, or is mainly focused on speeding up specific business cases, we ensure that the governance is as light as it should be.
Govern what matters
Data governance is often seen as a massive, multi-year effort, but it doesn’t have to be. Organizations can gradually begin governing data with minimal impact on daily operations. By focusing on key business use cases and the data products behind them, governance becomes practical and effective.
Typical question:
“Which data is most important, and what information should we govern less?”
Put people first
Governance, more than anything, is a people game. A tool alone will not solve any problem, if there are no processes and people that are ready to adopt them. In any implementation, we put people first and take adoption into account from day 1, not as an afterthought.
Typical question:
“How can we make sure that data governance is part of our daily operations, and not just a policy on paper?”
Show value early
Prove the value before you scale. Together with your business teams, we co-create an end-to-end value case: business case, feasibility assessment, first experiments, and an execution plan linked to real KPIs. This ensures you invest your time and budget where returns are the clearest.
Typical question:
“How should we organize ourselves to create more impact with Data & AI?”
