John Ladley and Bob Seiner will be joining Eric Kavanagh on The Data Governance Show for a candid, practical conversation about where data governance is headed and what organizations must do differently to make the programs durable. We will explore why governance does not fail but instead stalls when it is treated as a side initiative, how formal accountability may already exist inside most organizations, and why the real opportunity is to recognize and elevate existing accountabilities and allow data governance to evolve into its intended "business as usual" state.

We will also dive into the intersection of governance, change management, and data fluency, and why the future of governance in an AI-driven world depends on rising all the boats in the same tide rather than operating them in silos. Expect a discussion grounded in real-world experience, lessons learned from decades in the field, and a clear message for leaders who want governance to move from documentation to durable business value.

Despite massive investment, most enterprise AI initiatives fail to deliver meaningful return on investment. Recent research shows that nearly 95% of organizations are not seeing measurable returns, leaving many stuck in what analysts call the AI Failure Zone, where tools look powerful but produce little business impact.
