Day 1 - Tuesday 19th January 2027

12:00 PM Panel Discussion: The Adoption Gap: Why Business Users Still Ignore Data Products

Low adoption is often blamed on culture, but the real causes may include weak product discovery, unclear value, poor workflow fit and insufficient ownership. This panel explores how teams are earning sustained use rather than simply driving launch activity.

• Identifying the organisational and product barriers behind low adoption

• Treating internal users as customers without oversimplifying enterprise needs

• Building feedback, enablement and continuous improvement into the lifecycle


4:30 PM Closing Panel Discussion: What Breaks First? Scaling Data Products and Platforms Across the Enterprise

Growth exposes problems that are easy to hide at pilot stage. Ownership becomes stretched, standards diverge, platform costs rise and low-value products persist. This closing discussion shares the warning signs and hard-earned lessons from scaling.
• Recognising when operating models and governance no longer fit the portfolio
• Managing complexity, trust and cost as products and consumers multiply
• Identifying what leaders would standardise earlier and where they would preserve flexibility
