First San Francisco Partners

Get to know Josh Henderson at First San Francisco Partners in our new Meet the Team profile on our blog. We asked him a half-dozen questions including how he'd explain his FSFP role to a third-grader — he said, "Do you know how sometimes you have puzzles or challenges to figure out? Companies have puzzles called problems. One big problem they often have is with something called data. Data is information about everything they do, like how many people buy their toys or how much money they make." Josh shared advice on how someone might break into the field of data management and also talked about the time he spends in Greece with his family and the benefits of learning about and living in others' cultures. (The photo is of Josh on the Seitan Limania beach in Crete.)

Here's what's new on FSFP's blog — an article from one of our long-time consultants, Becky Lyons. She talks about the importance of identifying a "change ambassador,” someone who champions data initiatives that may challenge the status quo and help support turning your conceptual plans into tangible change. Becky says that an executive sponsor typically serves as the lead change ambassador. This data program influencer helps promote governance best practices and secure the resources needed to implement them. An executive sponsor's advocacy for robust data governance frameworks ensures alignment with business goals, fosters a culture of compliance, and enhances data quality throughout the organization ... and what's not to love about that!
