The challenge

How to grow the business impact of your data organisation?

You've made big investments in data but the business value is still underwhelming or difficult to show.

The challenge

You've made big investments in data but the business value is still underwhelming or difficult to show.

Your central data team is the bottleneck to delivering value

Business teams wait weeks for data that already exists but isn't easily accessible or trusted.

It's difficult to go fast and maintain good governance

Without shared standards for quality and security, decentralization creates more problems than it solves.

Every department has its own version of the truth.

Nobody is wrong exactly, they just built their logic independently, with different assumptions baked in.

Our solution

One day to get your teams on the same page

The Data Product Workshop brings your cross-functional teams together with Dataminded's data product experts for a day of structured learning & hands-on exercises.

We work through realistic scenarios together, so your team leaves aligned on vocabulary, framework, and decisions.

Workshop Day Content

  • Why data products? The business case

  • Data product discovery: archetypes, ports, boundaries

  • Hands-on: when to create a new product vs. add a port

  • Quality framework: a good data product (DAFT UNIVRS)

  • R&Rs and interactive governance scenarios

  • The agentic future: semantic models and AI-readiness

Your team leaves with a shared vocabulary, a practical framework, and the confidence to start making decisions.

Shared vocabulary and framework

Concrete value

What you walk away with

1

Shared vocabulary across your team

Business and technical stakeholders leave using the same terms the same way: data products, archetypes (source, aggregate, consumer-aligned), ports, contracts, ownership. The conversations that used to go in circles can finally move forward.

2

A decision framework you can apply tomorrow

Three rules for scoping data products: when to add a port, when to create a new product, when to move logic upstream into an aggregate. Practiced through four hands-on scenarios where your team makes the calls together.

3

Measurable quality principles and role clarity

10 quality priciples for what makes a good data product, mapped to concrete technical implemention. Data contracts to formalize quality standards. Five defined roles across the lifecycle, from platform architect to governance lead.

A view of where data products are heading

Why connecting LLMs directly to raw data fails, how semantic models bridge that gap, and why your data product foundation is also your AI foundation. This is the part most data product workshops skip entirely.

No commitment. Walk away knowing if this fits your context.

Why us

We teach what we build

The knowledge and practical exercises in this workshop come from real situations we've navigated over 12 years at 50+ organizations. We know where data product initiatives stall, and it's usually governance and ownership, not technology.
