Data must be accurate, complete, timely, and unique to be fit for purpose within an organization's business processes.
Master data management (MDM) solves the "single version of the truth" problem, helping organizations maintain consistent and trustworthy data across various systems and departments.
Effective data governance involves creating and implementing policies and procedures related to data management to optimize value, reduce costs, and ensure compliance.
High-level, cross-functional, and functional levels all require tailored governance strategies.
A CDO should define how data governance drives the three levers of revenue, cost savings, and risk mitigation within an organization.
Corporate governance is typically the focus of boards of directors, while data governance is more of a functional or operating level concern.
Data privacy plays a significant role within data governance and must be addressed with robust policies and procedures.
Data governance can contribute to ESG initiatives, with one example being the reduction of carbon footprint through better data management and retention policies.
No matter where technology trends lead, the foundation of accurate, consistent, trustworthy, and fit-for-purpose data remains essential for successful decision making and operations.

Key ideas you’ll hear Tom and Bill discuss:
Legal GRC is a subcategory of the larger umbrella of GRC that focuses on the various activities and responsibilities that people who report to legal must carry out, such as data privacy and breach response.
Understanding where your data is, who owns it, and what regulations apply to it is crucial to effective data management and compliance.
Data governance, data security, and data cleansing are key components of ESG, particularly in the G part, and the management of data is a mandatory step under ESG.
Having a data inventory and understanding what regulations apply to that data from a retention perspective and disposition is essential to minimizing risk and ensuring compliance with various regulations.
The key to minimizing risk and ensuring compliance is to have the processes and technology that enable you to constantly push the deletion button, in accordance with your retention policy.

The Secret Power of Meditation with Kara Goodwin
Épisode 294
mardi 7 mars 2023 • Durée 21:54
"Most successful executives are well aware of meditation and the secret power of it, and that it has a competitive advantage because it can change the way they're thinking, access more levels of creativity and intuition," says Kara Goodwin, a meditation expert and Tom Fox’s guest on the latest episode of Innovation In Compliance. Kara and Tom discuss the transformative power of meditation, the benefits it offers to individuals and companies, and how it can help people find balance and purpose in their lives. She also talks about how meditation can change your brain, reduce anxiety and depression, and unlock your creativity and intuition.
Kara Goodwin is a certified meditation teacher, and the host of The Meditation Conversation Podcast. With a corporate background in IT and sales, Kara's journey into meditation began when she moved to Italy and discovered the transformative power of this practice. Since then, she has been helping people develop their meditation practice through coaching, retreats, and online courses. Through her work, she seeks to help individuals and organizations find balance, purpose, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.
You’ll hear Kara and Tom discuss:
Meditation means something different to every person, but to Kara it's existing in a state that's beyond - beyond thoughts, beyond the body, beyond time, and beyond space. Meditation is getting to a state of higher consciousness, where the cycle of daily thoughts does not exist.
Developing a meditation practice changes the brain and the nervous system. It can also translate to a person's state outside of meditation, where they can have a higher perspective on things. It allows them to slow down and not get caught up in the minutiae of the day.
Being able to tell when you're off balance is simply taking mental stock of yourself. "It's just what's showing up for you in your world… It's becoming aware of how we feel and really even having a perspective that has a distance between what we feel and noticing what we feel," Kara says.
You can't solve problems when you're operating in the same mindset they were created in. "When we're in problem-oriented consciousness, we're not necessarily going to find the solution for that problem in the same level of consciousness where the problem is," Kara remarks. "It's by raising ourselves into a higher level of consciousness that we can have access to more creative solutions, more holistic solutions, more win scenarios."
Meditation is becoming an important component of mental health for businesses and companies. Kara uses the example of the NFL using meditation tactics to keep themselves calm in the high-stress environment they deal with. In addition, employers caring for their employees can also do more to create better working conditions. Caring for their employees in more holistic ways and seeing them as fully formed human beings, will impact the quality of their work.
Meditation helps nurture whole-brain thinking. Nurturing whole brain thinking and allowing yourself space allows for higher consciousness, which promotes productivity and activity.
KEY QUOTE
"When we're in problem-oriented consciousness, we're not necessarily going to find the solution for that problem in the same level of consciousness where the problem is." - Kara Goodwin
“[Meditation] is really getting into that state of a higher mind where we're not so focused on the little ins and outs and details of the day and the cycles of our thoughts.” - Kara Goodwin
"Most successful executives are well aware of meditation and the secret power of it, and that it has a competitive advantage because it can change the way they're thinking, access more levels of creativity and intuition." - Kara Goodwin
