This morning, I delivered a Metadata Management workshop grounded in reality — not theory. No buzzwords. No recycled slides. Just myths dismantled and practical steps shared, drawn directly from 26 years of verifiable, hands-on experience delivering metadata, data governance, and data strategy across global organisations. Metadata is not documentation for compliance. It is the operating system of trusted data. Those in the room didn’t just learn metadata — they learned how to apply it on Monday
