• Embed data governance, quality, lineage, metadata, and stewardship frameworks into architecture design.
• Ensure architectures support regulatory, privacy, and security requirements by design.
• Establish patterns for trusted, secure, and compliant data usage.
• Drive innovation in AI/ML, GenAI, agentic analytics, and intelligent automation.
• Evaluate and guide adoption of emerging technologies (e.g., knowledge graphs, semantic models, real-time decisioning).
