Transforming Governance Into a Scalable Data & AI Capability in the Data Mesh Era

As enterprises scale AI and data products across domains, traditional governance models fail to keep pace. Historical approaches to data ownership no longer flex to meet data product demands. Domain autonomy creates inconsistency. AI amplifies risk. This presentation presents a scalable operating model that integrates data literacy, enterprise governance, governance engineering and domain enablement into a single cohesive approach built on the modern data platform. Using a federated data mesh architecture powered by Databricks, this modern approach to data ownership transforms governance from documentation and oversight into a programmable, platform-embedded enterprise capability.The result:

• Faster domain onboarding
• Reduced regulatory risk
• Automated policy enforcement
• Measurable AI readiness
