Kansas City Data Professionals: The Data Product Revolution

​Most organizations don’t have a data problem.

​
They have a trust problem.

​We’ve built faster pipelines, cheaper storage, and prettier dashboards.
And yet teams still argue over numbers, rebuild the same datasets, and don’t trust what’s already there.

​At the next Kansas City Data Professionals meetup, I’ll be walking through what “Data as a Product” actually means in practice:

• ​Why ownership is the missing ingredient

• ​Why governance keeps failing when it’s bolted on

• ​How trust, reuse, and speed are designed, not hoped for

• ​How to start without a massive transformation program

​This isn’t theory or vendor hype. It’s a practical operating model for teams that want data people actually trust and reuse.

​
If you’ve ever asked “why don’t people trust our data?” this one’s for you.
