Data Ed Online: Implementing Effective Data Governance A Practical Guide

At its essence, data governance (DG) involves managing data with clear guidance. This raises an immediate question: Would you allow any of your assets to be managed without proper guidance? It’s likely that your organization has been handling data without sufficient guidance, leading to its current suboptimal state. This program offers a practical guide to implementing DG or revitalizing your existing program. It explains the necessary data governance functions and how they integrate with other data management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is crucial to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and to implement effective governance/stewardship programs that manage data in alignment with organizational strategy. Participants will learn why data governance can be challenging for organizations due to the complex nature of data. Success comes by focusing on four key DG elements:  - Keeping DG practically focused  - DG must exist at the same level as HR  - Gradually add ingredients (practicing and getting better)  - Keeping data governance active through value-focused storytelling  - Better know the transformations that data can survive as it is prepared to be analyzed.
