Data Governance: Defined • “The coordination of people, processes, and technology in order to manage and optimise the use of data as a valued enterprise asset” • “The exercise of authority, control, and shared decision-making (planning, monitoring, and enforcement) over the management of data assets.” DAMA Dictionary of Data Management, 2nd Edition

Data Governance: Defined • Bridging business and IT for data related decisions and initiatives • Largely driven by audit and compliance in the US financial sector • Communication, change management, and soft skills are the core of good data governance • Technology helps, but not essential (at lower maturity levels) • Every organisation has some form of data governance!

  8. Data Governance Maturity Assessment • Open discussion with stakeholders at all levels • One on one interviews, group workshops, consulting SMEs • Pre-determined questions to be answered and maturity level determined • Identify current state maturity and a desired state • Ensure it is an educational process • The success of your data governance initiative can be highly dependant on a Maturity Assessment! The biggest part of the process: CONSULTING
