How familiar are the following statements to you and your organization?
  • It is not always easy to access the "true" record of truth from our data.
  • Our various businesses have multiple defined understandings of data.
  • We know that Data Governance is needed, but where do we start?
  • To ensure a single source of truth – are we using the right data?
  • Our internal and external data standards and policies are not defined.

The success of any Digital Transformation initiative depends on addressing a host of critical issues, but chief among them is the robustness of the enterprise's data model and the role that Data Governance plays. The concept of Data Governance is gaining recognition as a "make or break" factor in this age of digitalization. Digital initiatives that attempt to force a "data culture" by seeking to remove the existing silos of data, ignoring tribal knowledge, and overlooking data quality issues are doomed to failure.

Unfortunately, this "magical thinking," which either ignores or underestimates data management's governance needs, tends to focus on low-hanging fruit instead of organizing a sustainable data governance structure and overall strategy. In today's digital era, it is disheartening that so many organizations have yet to realize that their data is a critical business asset. As such, it must be the backbone of any digital transformation. Treated as a cost to be contained rather than an asset to be leveraged means that Data Governance as an initiative will continue to disappoint leadership and fall short of meaningful and measurable ROI as organizations continue to believe it is a project and not a process that must be thought through to ensure its sustainability.

Executives that champion or sponsor Digital Transformation must do so with the understanding that the success of their investment in people, processes, and organizational elements are highly dependent on a robust data governance strategy that positions them for long-term success. In this webinar CIMdata will provide useful guidance on this critical topic.
