Traditionally, the work of data governance and data stewardship has been tremendously time-consuming: Setting up standards, managing and governing data assets, documenting lineage, triaging issues, and chasing down data owners. A lot of this can and should be challenged now with AI and agentic workflows - given the right context.

Foundational is an innovative data lineage and governance tool that uses source code analysis to understand not just lineage but also what's happening in the underlying code that powers your data. In this session, we'll show our latest release, Foundational IQ, which supports agentic workflows for data and AI governance.

Attendees will learn about key principles to enable agentic workflows for data governance: What do you need? What is critical vs nice-to-have? What can show early success? Key insights will be shared on how to prepare your organization to get into the first agent, and the second, and the third. We'll show how this is done with Foundational, but will also discuss how it can work with other tools.

Benefts of the Talk:

• Key Needs for Governance Agents: Understand key requirements and starting conditions to enable agentic workflows for governance.
• Example Use Cases for Early Success: Discover several easy-to-do use cases that can deliver quick results for most organizations when using Foundational.
• Maximizing on Your Existing Tools: Many organizations already have the right tools in place, but may lack some practical know-how or motivation to maximize their benefit. We'll try to map the key tools you need and may already have!
• Setting up for Innovation: AI enablement is top of mind for any organization today - we'll discuss how data governance should benefit, too.
