Weaving Intelligence
General MDM
The discipline of building and sustaining trusted master data — the bedrock every other data and AI initiative depends on.
This is the publication's foundational thread: the discipline of building, governing, and sustaining trusted master data that everything else is built on. We treat master data management not as a one-off project but as a scalable, documented discipline — the business case, executive sponsorship, stewardship and accountability, governance operating models, and data quality. Because sound decisions rest on trustworthy data, this thread examines each classic MDM topic through the practical question of what it means in the age of AI.
