How can an independent business, like a feed or tack store, a pet store, or any other non-franchised independent retail store survive in today's market? How do you build a world-class e-commerce website and offer products you stock in your store and others that can be shipped? How do you market both locally and globally? Do you feel overwhelmed? I am also an independent store owner, and these frustrations and limitations led me to build Beenee.com, an e-commerce and marketing solution specifically for independent retail stores.

🌟 Welcome to 2025, did you know 2025 is a perfect square? It equals 45^2. With all that is coming in 2025, it seems like a great metaphor for data & AI, combining high-quality data with intelligent systems that creates outcomes that are far greater than the sum of their parts. 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 2025: ▹ Think exponentially: Small, consistent efforts in learning, data curation, and innovation build to transformational results. My greatest learning this year is, that Data Governance is a building block in AI Governance, just like Risk Management. It greatly depends on it's maturity to be successfully implemented. ▹ Focus on business value: This year, I’ll be diving deeper into AI governance, where good data is critical to enabling AI, and AI, in turn, drives real business impact. It’s not just about the tech; it’s about creating value that matters to end-users. ▹ Input defines output: The saying “garbage in, garbage out” still holds. High-quality data is the lifeblood of effective AI. In 2025, data governance will remain crucial to ensuring the right inputs for AI systems. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧 2025? 2025 marks a turning point for AI governance as the EU AI Act starts the phases roll out: ➜ February: Bans on “unacceptable risk” AI systems take effect. ➜ May: The European Commission publishes compliance codes of practice. ➜ August: Rules for notified bodies assessing high-risk AI systems go live. Providers of general-purpose AI models must comply with new standards, national AI governance bodies are established, and penalties for non-compliance are enforced. 2025 promises to be a transformative year for AI & Data (Governance). Let’s make it a year of compounding impact, together. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫? Happy New Year! 🎉 #AI #Data #AIGovernance #DataGovernance #EUAIAct #2025 #PerfectSquareYear
