Why this seminar is different

Most training teaches tools. Many seminars teach frameworks. All presentations teach concepts.

This seminar teaches how to become the person who helps people adopt, trust, use, and govern with confidence.

You will learn how to

  • Influence effective non-invasive governance behavior without authority.
  • Formalize accountability for data and AI across the organization.
  • Communicate in ways that drive action and deliver results.
  • Get people to change their behavior and adopt governance without mandates.
  • Create momentum through fluency while leveraging resistance as energy.
  • Become the person people turn to when progress around data matters.

Who should attend?

Data governance leaders, data stewards, data and AI professionals, business leaders, change agents, analysts, and anyone expected to move data work from conversation to action.

You do not need permission to be a catalyst. You just need to start.

The Three Hours Will Cover

This is a practical activation experience built around behavior,
accountability, adoption, momentum, and measurable progress.

Spark 1

The Catalyst

Define what a Data Catalyst is, why the role matters, and how catalyst thinking changes outcomes.

Spark 2

The Mindset

Connect Data Governance, Change Management, and Data Fluency into a practical acceleration equation.

Spark 3

The Toolkit

Use the flywheel, the Common Data Matrix, quick wins, stewardship activation, and point-of-use governance.

Spark 4

The Activation

Apply the SPARK Test, build a 30-day plan, frame a 12-month roadmap, and make the Catalyst Commitment.
