Inside Applied Data Governance: Expert Perspectives from the ADGP Program Episode 2: Designing Governance That Works with John Ladley

Welcome to *Inside Applied Data Governance*, a DATAVERSITY Talks podcast where we explore the practical realities of data governance with the experts who helped build the Applied Data Governance Practitioner (ADGP) certification. In this episode, we speak with John Ladley about designing data governance frameworks that actually work. Drawing on decades of experience, John discusses why governance structures must align with organizational culture, how to evaluate centralized and federated models, and why copying another organization’s framework rarely succeeds. Discover practical guidance for building governance approaches that are sustainable, scalable, and tailored to your organization’s needs.
