Special Break:
A rap anthem about Data Governance – can that be fun?

October 27th, 12:00 – 12:30 pm

Tiankai is not only responsible for data governance at adidas, but is also a musician. His social media smash hit “Governors of Data” brought thousands of people closer to the often seen rather dry or reserved subject of data governance. In this unconventional way, Tiankai makes it clear that in a data-driven company not only data but also data governance concerns everyone. In their conversation, Carsten and Tiankai will discuss how this song came about, what it has achieved and what experiences Tiankai was able to gather on his data governance journey so far.

Speakers:
