Designed for executives and data leaders, the event consists of small-group discussions where participants do case study deep-dives and share the lessons learned the hard way when scaling Data Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first event, we had the pleasure of welcoming our partner ASML. Alex Sinitsyn PhD, Principal Data &amp; AI solutions Architect, and Marisa Pumares, people agenda lead, shared their experience with the people and organizational aspects of scaling Data Management. Specifically, the challenges that lie at the intersection of data, technology, people and organization. Bridging theory with practice is a fraught process, even for the most sophisticated companies out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Figure 1.

This is driven by the realization that this next step is an important enabler for the next wave of value to be gained from Data &amp; AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second milestone occurs when companies are at an advanced stage of scaling Data Management \u2013 for example in response to regulatory trends. And, having built the technological platforms to do so, they now struggle to drive adoption \u2013 and therefore deliver the full value of Data Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings us to the second takeaway.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"at-spacer at-spacer--69e0fa1d92816\" style=\"background-color: transparent\">\n<style>\n\/* Ultrawide *\/\n.at-spacer--69e0fa1d92816 {\n    height: 30px;\n}\n\n\/* Desktop *\/\n@media (max-width: 1920px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d92816 {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n\n\/* Laptop *\/\n@media (max-width: 1024px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d92816 {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n\n\/* Mobile *\/\n@media (max-width: 767px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d92816 {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaway 2: \u201cIf you build it, success will come\u201d does not work \u2013 if it ever did<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even companies with visionary leaders and well-executed transformation projects face setbacks. The common struggles include broader adoption of new Data Management solutions across functional or regional areas, departments, or business units. These hurdles often arise not from technical gaps but from people-driven challenges. Scaling Data Management requires maintaining momentum, securing organizational buy-in, and overcoming resistance at various levels. The role of C-level sponsorship is vital in this process, as leadership support accelerates adoption and amplifies impact. Ultimately, <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/rewirenow.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/from-resistance-to-advocacy-driving-data-management-adoption\/\"><strong>building advocacy and momentum involves building a culture of engagement, trust, and collaboration<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"at-spacer at-spacer--69e0fa1d9294c\" style=\"background-color: transparent\">\n<style>\n\/* Ultrawide *\/\n.at-spacer--69e0fa1d9294c {\n    height: 30px;\n}\n\n\/* Desktop *\/\n@media (max-width: 1920px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d9294c {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n\n\/* Laptop *\/\n@media (max-width: 1024px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d9294c {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n\n\/* Mobile *\/\n@media (max-width: 767px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d9294c {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaway 3: moving from defence to offense<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Market trends \u2013 regulatory, compliance, competitive forces, etc. can prompt companies to implement Data Management defensively \u2013 i.e. as a &#8220;must-do&#8221; task. While this urgency drives implementation, it often leads to a perception of Data Management as a burdensome necessity rather than a strategic opportunity. To extract value from Data Management, the challenge is to reposition it as a value-driving initiative that supports the business.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"at-spacer at-spacer--69e0fa1d92aad\" style=\"background-color: transparent\">\n<style>\n\/* Ultrawide *\/\n.at-spacer--69e0fa1d92aad {\n    height: 30px;\n}\n\n\/* Desktop *\/\n@media (max-width: 1920px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d92aad {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n\n\/* Laptop *\/\n@media (max-width: 1024px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d92aad {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n\n\/* Mobile *\/\n@media (max-width: 767px) {\n    .at-spacer--69e0fa1d92aad {\n        height: 30px;\n    }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking ahead<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Data has shifted from a side topic in the boardrooms to the heart of business strategy. Companies are reinventing and re-organizing themselves around data, but technology is only one enabler of success \u2013 stakeholder management, leadership buy-in and aligning human capital are central to successful data transformation journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More broadly, theory often falls apart when execution begins. Our Data Leadership Roundtables brought to light the need to build a community of leaders who shape the success path of their organizations, by sharing <em>real life<\/em> experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to join this community, <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/rewirenow.com\/en\/resources\/event\/data-leadership-roundtables-june-2025-edition\/\"><strong>register your interest here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"container-block   \"  style=\"\" >\r\n        <div class=\"block  container  container--1024  width-under--laptop  wysiwyg\">\r\n        \n\n<section class=\"cta-box-block  js-cta-box  block\" >\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"cta-box\" style=\"background: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(255,244,0, 0.13), rgba(106,61,255, 0.13));\">\n                            <figure class=\"cta-box__image\">\n                        <span class=\"cta-box__img\" data-lazy style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\">\r\n        \r\n                    <img data-lazy-full=\"https:\/\/rewirenow.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/02\/data-foundations-bg-980x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-is-lazy>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n\r\n                <\/figure>\n                        <div class=\"cta-box__content\">\n                                    <h4 class=\"cta-box__title\">Building end-to-end data management capabilities<\/h4>\n                                                    <p class=\"cta-box__description\">Our strategies elevate the performance of your data management from marginal or tactical results to transformational successes.<\/p>\n                                                    <a class=\"cta-box__link btn btn--next\" href=\"https:\/\/rewirenow.com\/en\/data-ai-transformation\/data-foundations\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Explore our data management services\">Explore our data management services<\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bridging theory and practical application is far more than just about technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-management"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Data Leadership Roundtable: the hard truths about scaling Data Management | Rewire | Data &amp;
