Here’s our September 2024 newsletter. If you’re not a subscriber to FSFP’s monthly newsletter, we welcome you to opt in.
Unlock Efficiency and Value with a Managed Governance Solution
Every data professional knows the feeling — the endless juggling of priorities, the constant demand for resources and the race against time to ensure data governance remains a high-priority initiative and becomes a sustainable, value-driven program. It’s a lot to handle, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
We’ve been in the trenches with you and understand the pressure to deliver more with less. It’s why we created our managed service approach to data governance offering. It’s designed to alleviate our clients’ critical burdens, provide immediate relief, and bridge the gap between aspiration and execution in their data governance journey.
Our team’s extensive experience ensures that organizations of all sizes can avoid common pitfalls and accelerate time to value. We’ve successfully delivered countless data governance engagements, creating the right-sized and right-resourced programs tailored to our clients’ unique needs and governance maturity levels. From assessing an existing governance program or standing up a new one to helping organizations leverage their existing governance capabilities to jumpstart AI success, our consultants become part of your team and are jointly committed to your goals.
I welcome you to learn more about the advantages of outsourcing your data governance needs to FSFP in our blog article, Data Governance as a Managed Service, linked below.
You’ll also find a new profile of an FSFP team member, Josh Henderson, on the blog. During our last “All Hands” call, I told the team something most of them already know — that Josh is a shining example of the values we strive to live each day! He’s currently involved with one FSFP client who uses the Collibra platform. Josh’s understanding of Collibra and his dedication to being resourceful and doing high-quality work with integrity is inspiring.
And … FSFP is looking forward to December, both for a break from summer’s heat and for DATAVERSITY’s AI Governance Conference, a new event taking place alongside DGIQ — both scheduled for December 9–13 in Washington, DC. Keep reading for more details.

Meet Joshua Henderson
We’re excited to introduce Joshua Henderson, an integral part of Team FSFP. As a Solutions Architect, Josh designs comprehensive data management solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.
With a focus on leveraging the latest technologies, Josh helps create scalable and secure architectures that optimize data storage and enhance analytical capabilities. He has a knack for breaking down complex concepts. Case in point: When we asked how he would explain his job to a third grader, Josh said:
“Think of me as a helper for businesses. Companies have puzzles called problems, especially with their data. My job is to help solve these puzzles, making sure their information is organized, just like sorting out a messy room so everything can be found quickly and easily!”

DGIQ East + AIGOV | Dec. 9 – 13, 2024, in DC
Planning to attend DATAVERSITY’s Data Governance & Information Quality (DGIQ) conference? We are!
The December event brings together several things we care about — data governance and information quality (of course) plus AI governance and women in data management and governance.
DATAVERSITY’s new AI Governance Conference, taking place alongside DGIQ, will be focused on providing thought leadership and best practices for the critically important emerging areas of AI governance. And because DATAVERSITY’s first women-focused event was so popular, the DGIQ team is bringing it back as a half-day program, taking place Wednesday, December 11. Find details here.
Several of our team members will be speaking at DGIQ, covering topics including generative AI, creating a business case for data governance, implementing/governing a data catalog and business glossary and more. View program agenda.
As a DGIQ sponsor, we welcome you to use our FSFP15 discount code when you sign up to save 15% off any registration option. Use this link to register, and note that the early bird rate ends in early November.
