Better Together: Why AI Needs Governance — And Your Business Needs Both
AI is the most powerful ingredient to arrive in business in a generation. But on its own, without a foundation, it's an extraordinary engine with no road to drive on. Using real stories — including a significant sum found sitting undiscovered in a company's own data — this keynote makes the case that AI and data governance are better together. Audiences leave with Barry's own Secure, Organise, Manage framework and three plain-English questions that tell them exactly where to start.

Most businesses aren't short of data — they're short of confidence in it.

Practical, honest, and built around real examples from Irish business.

This talk is a clear-eyed look at the competitive landscape, what AI adoption actually looks like in businesses like yours, and a practical framework for getting started without betting the company on the wrong thing.
