Everyone wants "data-driven," but how do you actually get there without chaos? This panel will tackle the critical tension between democratizing data access for all product teams and maintaining robust data governance, quality, and security. We'll discuss practical strategies for empowering users with self-service analytics while ensuring data integrity, avoiding misinterpretations, and navigating privacy regulations.
