Our historical response to innovation—printing press proliferating bibles, internet generating advertising brochures, or now ChatGPT becoming our assistant—underscores a pattern of meeting new ideas with computational thinking, yielding computational results. This recurring cycle, where flawed data produces flawed outcomes, reflects a reluctance to extract instructive insights. How should we regard governance concerns considering AI adoption?
This 45-minute Fireside Chat with Kelle O’Neal and Christine Haskell will be a friendly, relatable, and educational discussion filled with storytelling and problem-solving. Each brings decades of experience in working with organizations in Information Management. They’ve experienced the “data dilemma” from different angles, giving them perspective, compassion for the challenges clients face, and a depth of knowledge of the necessary capabilities to drive data governance and adoption.
- AI as part of Governance Practice. How can organizations effectively integrate AI into their governance practices to enhance decision-making, risk management, and overall strategic direction?
- Governing AI, Understanding Guidelines for AI Use in the Organization. How can organizations effectively establish and implement guidelines for the responsible use of AI to ensure ethical practices and compliance?
- Governance of AI Pieces (Models, Algorithms, etc.). How can organizations create robust governance frameworks for individual components of AI, such as models and algorithms, to ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical use?
- Ensuring teams have the data to run vs. grow business. How can organizations ensure that their data teams have the necessary resources and access to data to enhance operational efficiency and streamline day-to-day business processes?
Kelle’s strong background in customer relationship management, enterprise software, and systems integration uniquely positions her to excel in helping organizations of all sizes and complexities successfully execute on data governance, organizational change management, master data management, digital transformation, and other strategic initiatives. She developed her ability to work through organizational complexity, build consensus, and drive results in senior roles at companies that include U.S.-based firms GoldenGate Software, Siebel Systems, and Oracle. She also worked at the executive level in Europe and Asia. Under her leadership of FSFP, the firm’s client list has grown significantly over the years, as has its consulting and support teams.
