Webinar: BCS Author Webinar Series 2025 - An hour with Alison Holt, author of Data Safe

As data becomes increasingly central to how organisations create value and deliver services, the need for strong data governance has never been more important. But governing data isn’t just about compliance — it’s about building trust, reducing risk, and enabling better decision-making across your organisation.

In this informative and practical webinar, Alison Holt and Neil Calvert will explore what effective data governance looks like in a modern, data-driven business. They’ll offer guidance on assessing the value and risks of data, implementing governance policies aligned with international standards, and embedding responsible data practices into everyday operations.

Whether you’re establishing a governance framework or improving an existing one, this session will give you the tools and confidence to move forward.

What you’ll learn:

• Why data governance matters — and what good looks like
• How to assess the value, risks, and constraints of your data
• Ways to align with emerging standards like ISO 38505
• Tips for embedding sustainable and responsible data practices
• The role of governance in enabling innovation and trust

Who should attend:
Data governance professionals, data managers, compliance leads, digital transformation leaders, CIOs, and anyone responsible for ensuring data is used safely and effectively within their organisation.
