Data Sips is a new video miniseries presented by Ippon Technologies and DATAVERSITY that showcases quick conversations with industry experts from last month’s Data Governance & Information Quality (DGIQ) Conference in Washington, D.C. 

The eighth episode of the Data Sips series features Bob Seiner, president and principal of KIK Consulting & Educational Services and the publisher emeritus of The Data Administration Newsletter, chatting with host Steve MacLauchlan, head of data at Ippon.

Steve also hosts a longer version of the series called The Data Pour, where he sits down with data professionals over drinks.

In the interview, Bob discusses incorporating AI into data governance and explains the difference between traditional data governance and non-invasive data governance, his alternative, non-threatening approach to implementing a successful data governance program.
