| | What does it really take to operationalize enterprise AI, beyond the demos? | View in browser | | |  | | | Data Dive #51: The Curse of Plenty 😵💫 | | | | | | | | AI adoption is no longer the hard part. Organizational clarity is. Across large enterprises, the pattern is consistent: AI initiatives stall not because models fail, but because decision systems do. When definitions are fuzzy, ownership is unclear, and metrics proliferate without semantic guardrails, AI does not reduce complexity. It magnifies it. It does not remove judgment. It puts weak judgment and misalignment under a spotlight. The next phase of AI leadership is not about faster answers. It is about creating shared understanding at scale across identity, semantics, and decision ownership. That is when governance stops feeling like bureaucracy and starts operating as an enablement layer. In a recent Seize the Data conversation, Hari Chidambaram, a senior data and AI leader who has built decision-driven platforms at Amazon Pay and Intuit Mailchimp, breaks down what "data foundations" really mean in an AI-first world. Not a buzzword stack, but the practical building blocks: customer 360 and identity across silos, governed datasets with semantic clarity, and connected context through knowledge bases and knowledge graphs. He also names the risk most BI teams are already living with: the "curse of plenty." When anyone can spin up dashboards in minutes, you get metric sprawl, semantic drift, and multiple versions of truth that are technically correct but contextually incompatible. Teams optimize for output instead of outcomes. Leaders waste time reconciling numbers instead of making decisions. The fix is not slowing down. It is lightweight guardrails that preserve speed while protecting clarity.

If metrics drift, duplicates multiply, refresh is unreliable, or access is over-permissioned, DI scales inconsistency. In this session, Logan Havern, CEO at Datalogz, and Anouk Gorris, Director of Product at Datalogz, explore what changes from BI to DI, and share a DI readiness checklist across governance, reliability, and cost visibility.
| | | | Conference Season: Datalogz Team on the Road! | | | | | Conference season is officially on. For the Datalogz team, it remains one of the fastest ways to stay close to what is changing in data and AI, especially governance, cost, platforms, and outcomes. Where to find us in March: 📍 Gartner Data & Analytics Summit, Orlando (March 9–11, 2026) 📍 FabCon, Microsoft Fabric Community Conference, Atlanta (March 16–20, 2026) Attending either event? Connect with the team for a coffee, a quick hello, or a focused discussion on BI Ops, Fabric, governance, and cost optimization.
| | | | | We are building the 2026 State of BI Report with a leading DC-based media partner, focused on AI and the evolving future of analytics. To ground it in reality, we are speaking with around 50 data and analytics leaders about how AI, BI governance, and cost pressures are actually playing out inside their organizations. If you are open to a conversation, you can pick a time here:
| | | | | Conversations can be anonymous or fully attributed. If you complete an interview in February, you will also be entered into a raffle for a $500 gift card, with strong odds given the limited number of participants (we're only interviewing ~20 more people in February!).
