CoStrategix Sponsors CDO Leadership Dinner

CoStrategix, a leader in digital and data transformation services, proudly sponsored the CDO Leadership Dinner organized by CDO Magazine. CoStrategix also led a featured roundtable discussion focused on aligning data, AI, and cybersecurity governance to drive business impact.

The event brought together senior IT and data leaders from a variety of industries for an open, candid conversation about one of the most pressing challenges organizations face today: navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of governance across AI, data management, and cybersecurity.

“As AI accelerates, organizations are grappling with how to promote and govern responsibly while continuing to innovate,” said Matt Wehrman, Head of Enterprise Architecture at CoStrategix. “We led a discussion to help surface practical strategies and peer insights to responsibly incorporate AI into an organization by making governance a business enabler – not just a compliance checkbox.”

Key takeaways from the discussion included:

• Data governance is foundational to both effective AI implementation and secure data practices.
  User adoption requires incentives and collaboration, not just policies.
• AI Communities of Practice are proving effective in maturing use case governance and tool enablement.
• Security remains a powerful lens for making the business case and securing funding for governance initiatives.
• Quantifying ROI is a necessary but challenging step in prioritizing governance investments.

CoStrategix’s continued investment in leading forums like this underscores its commitment to helping enterprises modernize responsibly – balancing innovation with risk mitigation and long-term value creation.

The event took place at Lytle Park Hotel on May 14, 2025.
