Fundamentals of Data Governance Organizations
Assuming there is support, funding and the will to proceed, how do you actually build the data governance organizations structures and procedures? Are all organizations the same? There have been shadows of data governance within many information initiatives, but real data governance requires building new procedures, reviewing employee accountability and examining organization charts.
This session will cover the critical components for developing the data governance organization. Topics will be:
- Components of the data governance organizations
- Functions each data governance organization MUST execute
- Techniques for determining the organization style best suited for a given situation
- Developing the road map for how to roll out the organization
Avoiding Elephants – How to overcome major resistance issues to Data Governance
The majority of DG programs falter. A DG program that is going to run into trouble ignores critical success factors. Other times we make it to too complicated. In both scenarios, there is a tendency to step around controversial issues. For example, the “Data people” act as though data quality and governance are awesomely brand new sciences. The “business people” act like anything coming out of the IT realm is smoke and mirrors. Truth is, there is a set of common “elephants in the room” that data governance and data quality groups try to side step. But they are normal resistance patterns and can be managed, and even leveraged. This session will
- Examine a series of “elephants”
- Prescribe activities to deal with them
- Look at real examples of them
- Develop strategies to identify and deal with sensitive items
