The Future of Data Management: Building the Next Generation of Data Professionals
October 2025 | FIT Academy
Data management is changing faster than ever. With AI, automation, and data-driven decision-making reshaping every industry, it’s time to rethink what this discipline truly means.
The upcoming DMBOK 3.0, developed by DAMA International, marks a new milestone in global data governance. But beyond frameworks and standards, the real question remains: How can organisations truly unlock value from their data?
At FIT Academy, after training more than 5,000 professionals worldwide, we’ve identified four directions that define the future of data management:
- Toward a Holistic Discipline — Breaking silos and integrating every data-related activity.
- Strategy Over Technology Fascination — Technology follows strategy, not the other way around.
- Value at the Core — Every initiative must create measurable business or social impact.
- The Human Factor — Behind every data strategy, there’s a team that makes it real.
Discover how these principles can transform the way your organisation manages and leverages data.
