DATA PRIVACY

TRAINING PROVISION

I am an Associate with Leadership Through Data, who are information management and governance experts providing education services to both the public and private companies. I deliver some of their training courses on information and records management, and data privacy and GDPR. For more information on these courses see Leadership Through Data | Information Management Training & Consultancy

Recent Reports in 2025 on AI implementations show that:

• 95% of AI Pilots fail with no Return on Investment (ROI) (MIT Media Lab)

• 80% of AI Projects fail with no ROI (RAND)

The top causes cited are poor quality data, a lack of data governance, a lack of AI skills and understanding of the difference types of AI tools and how best to use them.

Data Potentials offers the following service to get organisations prepared for implementing AI Projects:

• An AI Readiness Audit to identify AI maturity within an organisation and make recommendations on Data Governance readiness

We also offer a full range of data management and governance services (see the next section below) that will give organisations strong data and information foundations that an AI project can be successfully built upon.
