Autonomy

·1 min

You might have noticed how I keep using the word autonomy in these posts, for example a couple of days ago when writing about a contract-based data platform and yesterday when linking to lessons from BlaBlaCar. It might actually be my favourite word! And certainly guides how I think about the products we provide through our data platform.

By promoting the autonomy of our users - particularly in this case, our data generators - we’re empowering them to make decisions that they feel are best for them and their stakeholders (the data consumers). That leads to a sense of ownership over the data they are making available, and a feeling of responsibility over that data and how it meets the requirements of their stakeholders.

(If I counted correctly, the word autonomy appears 54 times in my data contracts book)


Want great, practical advice on implementing data mesh, data products and data contracts?

In my weekly newsletter I share with you an original post and links to what's new and cool in the world of data mesh, data products, and data contracts.

I also include a little pun, because why not? 😅

(Don’t worry—I hate spam, too, and I’ll NEVER share your email address with anyone!)
