Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
- It is not always easy to access the “true” record of truth in our data.
- Our businesses have multiple ways of understanding data.
- We need Data Governance, but where do we start?
- Our data is not consistent and trustworthy.
- Our internal data standards and policies are not defined.
Often, digital transformation initiatives are succeeding or failing based on the robustness of corporate data. As a result, the importance of Data Governance is becoming increasingly recognized by most company executives. Many of these digital initiatives are attempting to force a “data culture,” trying very hard to remove the silos of data, tribal knowledge, and data quality issues. Unfortunately, many organizations focus on low hanging fruit instead of organizing a sustainable data governance structure and overall strategy. In this era of digital, it is astounding that organizations have yet to manage their data in a way that treats it as a business asset, which is the backbone of digital transformation. Data governance continues to fall short of true ROI as organizations continue to believe it is a project, not a process that must be thought through to ensure it is sustainable. Investing in people, processes, and organizational elements have to be championed by executives to place data governance in a strong position for long-term success. This webinar offers useful guidance on this critical topic.
