Case Study: McDonald's accelerates AI transformation with Collibra

McDonald’s Accelerating the Arches driving AI transformation with Collibra

McDonald’s partnered with Collibra to strengthen data governance as part of its “Accelerating the Arches” strategy and support growing AI ambitions. The company needed a way to ensure its data assets were safe, secure, responsibly managed, and accessible to the right people across its global operations, including emerging GenAI and unstructured data use cases.

Using the Collibra Platform, McDonald’s—calling its implementation “Runway”—established a foundational operating model in just 60 days, along with a six-pillar governance framework covering data cataloging, data quality, and AI governance. With Collibra, McDonald’s improved data transparency, trust, and speed of insights, while also reducing manual reviews and inconsistent data risk, enabling faster decision-making and a scalable foundation for ethical AI innovation.
