Episode notes

In this episode of The Bridgecast, host Scott Kinka welcomes William McKnight, President and Founder of McKnight Consulting Group, for a deep dive into enterprise data architecture, governance, and the foundational requirements for successful AI deployment. With a career spanning engineering roles at IBM to leading healthcare IT divisions and advising Fortune 500 companies, William brings a wealth of hands-on experience to the table. As an industry analyst who regularly publishes performance benchmarks, he offers a realistic look at how modern organizations can salvage low-maturity environments and build architectures that scale. His core message to modern executives is simple yet vital: data is an intellectual property asset, not an operational byproduct or an application drag-along.
