This course is a practical intensive workshop, introducing theory, principles, and tools in the practical context of real\-life scenarios\. Data Protection Impact Assessments \(DPIA’s\) are a core requirement in the General Data Protection Regulation, supporting a risk\-based approach to compliance\. They are also a valuable tool for planning, defining, and refining new ideas and projects to avoid problems, re\-work, and wasted resources\. This workshop provides attendees with an in\-depth and hands on grounding in the concepts involved in Data Protection Impact Assessments, a structured method to conduct DPIAs in a scalable manner, and insight into how these concepts relate to other principles and practices in Data Protection, Data Governance, and Information Quality Management\.\ \Register Now\ ## Products - [Data Leaders' Summit Report 2026](https://castlebridge.ie/resources/data-leaders-summit-report-2026/): Filtered, cross\-sector intelligence from Ireland's leading data leadership gathering — covering agentic AI, governance debt, cultural inertia, and what it actually takes to build resilient data capability in an AI world\. - [Five Questions for the Age of Artificial Cognition: Generative AI, the Learning Ladder, and the Workforce of the Future](https://castlebridge.ie/resources/five-questions-for-the-age-of-artificial-cognition-generative-ai-the-learning-ladder-and-the-workforce-of-the-future/): Generative AI is reshaping work faster than organisations are reshaping the roles that grow their future leaders\. This whitepaper argues that the most consequential risk of GenAI is not job destruction but the quieter erosion of the developmental conditions under which jobs produce capable humans\. When the tasks that once formed the novice stage of a career are automated, the rungs of the learning ladder are removed\. The paper frames five questions every leader and policymaker should answer: What skills do you use today to do your job? What roles helped you develop them? What elements of those roles are you proposing to automate with AI? How will your successor in five or ten years' time have developed the skills you now rely on? And the only question that ultimately matters: what are you going to do about it now? - [The Data Strategy and Governance Toolkit](https://castlebridge.ie/resources/the-data-strategy-and-governance-toolkit/): Originally published in 2011 as an updated edition of Daragh's 2008 handbook for data quality management, \The Data Strategy and Governance Toolkit\ remains relevant due to its focus on the fundamental challenges of data management in modern organisations\.
