@drlisa_lucas @DrJosh It always comes back to the data, right?

[Mary Anne Hopper @hopper5658]

A2: Trustworthy means decision-makers trust the outputs. Solid Data Management methods and practices help with that. Data Governance can then provide the oversight and discipline to assure trusted outcomes.
