This is the takeaway episode with Säde Haveri where she makes the case that metadata is the bridge between systems and people. Most data and AI initiatives don't fail on technology — they fail due to the lack of meaning. If your data doesn't speak your language, it simply won't work for you.

TAKEAWAY - Your data should speak your language with Säde Haveri

Most companies slapping the "data product" label on existing data assets are fooling themselves. Bethany Sehon, Enterprise Data Leader at Capital One, has been building data products and ontologies in production long before they became buzzwords. Bethany joins Juan and Tim to share lessons learned: dedicated data product managers (not side-of-desk), ontologists treated as first-class citizens, a VP-accountable governance process, and much more. 

Topics discussed: 
Data products as a discipline, not a label
Governance process as the forcing function 
Dedicated roles, not side-of-desk work 
Ontology as a strategic function 
Standardization is necessary but not sufficient
Less is more on scope 
Trust is consumer-specific
AI expands what counts as a data product
