Effectively Manage Data Governance
Convert the management of organizational data from a burden into a competitive advantage.
- Lack of buy-in- Attaining buy-in and support applies to every organization, large or small.
- Decision making authority- Data governance cannot work unless a team of key stakeholders steps up and takes accountability for organizational data decisions.
- Incremental approach- Data governance is best rolled out in phases, addressing one pain point.
- Effectively managing change management- Both business and IT processes must be changed.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Ensure your business case highlights the proactive benefits of a data governance program to keep executives and key stakeholders engaged.
- A data governance initiative should address policies, standards, and processes for data management.
- A dedicated data management team must be charged with the task of creating and enforcing those policies and procedures to exert greater control over the way data is manipulated.
- Ensuring your organization has a formal change management policy will improve acceptance of your organization’s data governance initiative from the business.
