This webcast focuses on why strong data management is essential for utilities seeking to improve reliability, efficiency, and informed decision-making. We will examine common data quality challenges—such as inconsistent definitions, siloed systems, and fragmented ownership—that create risk and limit an organization’s ability to move toward more advanced data utilization. The session emphasizes the importance of organizational alignment and shared accountability in treating data as a strategic asset rather than a byproduct of operations. Participants will gain familiarity with key terminology and foundational concepts in data governance to help establish a common language across teams. We will also introduce the purpose of maturity assessments, explaining what they are, how they are used, and why understanding current capability is critical before investing in more advanced solutions. By the end, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of where to begin and practical considerations for starting their digital transformation journey.
