Information is at the heart of all organizations, like blood flowing through its arteries and veins. However, all too often Information is not professionally managed with the rigour and discipline that it demands. Nonetheless the implications of poorly managed information can be catastrophic, from legal and other regulatory sanctions ultimately to business collapse.
Professor Joe Peppard summed it up when he said:
“the very existence of an organisation can be threatened by poor data”.
But how can we manage our data? What is Data Governance and what are its implications.
Is it all a massive “big bang” exercise or can we build data governance incrementally?
This 3-day training course will provide the rationale why Information Management is critical, and provide methods and practices for addressing key Information Management challenges.
Overview
This 3-day course will provide a foundation to the topic of Data Governance by describing the drivers for Data Governance, its purpose, outcome, typical organization structures, roles, responsibilities, and activities for Data Governance. The, typical organization structures, roles responsibilities and activities involved in establishing successful Data Governance together with example metrics for measuring progress of a Data Governance initiative will be discussed, and how it varies dependent on the Centralized vs Federation management style of the Enterprise. Execution approaches will be covered particularly whether Data Governance can be implemented in bite sized chunks or if it must be done in a top-down “big bang”.
The vital relationship between Data Governance & other core Information disciplines will be highlighted, including Data Quality, Master Data Management and Data Modelling.
This 3-day course addresses all core Data Governance considerations and introduces the other associated Information Management disciplines as defined in the DAMA body of knowledge (DMBoK).
