In this session, we take you inside a new kind of data foundation—one that moves beyond traditional tables and metrics to create meaning. We’ll explore how turning metadata into a system of understanding, not just record-keeping, can unlock powerful agentic workflows. You’ll see how business terms like "cost variance" or "lead time" become executable, traceable, and reusable assets that guide AI agents, ensure consistency, and restore trust across decentralized teams. Drawing on real challenges from the CPG world, we’ll walk through how companies are moving from governance battles to collaborative ownership, from static reports to living data definitions, and from disconnected data to decisions that act with confidence and speed. The future of AI isn't just about smarter models—it’s about smarter context. This is your roadmap for transforming your data foundation into a shared language between people and machines.
