Dear Folks:
As organizations race to deploy GenAI and agentic AI, many are discovering a hard truth: AI success is constrained less by algorithms and more by the readiness of the information that fuels them.
In
Episode 97 of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, I had the pleasure of speaking with
Greg Clark (Senior Director, Product Management & Strategy, OpenText) about a foundational-but often overlooked-capability: information readiness. We explore why clean, governed, contextual data is now a strategic prerequisite for trustworthy and defensible AI outcomes.
Our conversation covers:
Why "garbage in, garbage out" is more dangerous than ever in the AI era.
Real-world consequences of poor information governance (including recent legal cases).
How leaders can operationalize AI governance using the Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) framework.
What changes as we move toward agentic AI and greater autonomy.
If you're thinking about AI adoption, governance, risk, or trust-or advising leaders who are-this episode should resonate.
Sincerely,
Dave
