About the workshop:
Effective data governance is all about ensuring that your business is
deriving maximum value from its information assets, while minimising risk
to the organisation. This requires that your organisation successfully
executes a number of key processes to support control, risk management,
auditability and benchmarking for its data.
However, it also is necessary to ensure that the human factors at play
in the organisation are successfully negotiated, and that all necessary
participants are engaged to participate in the data governance process.
This workshop will equip you with the understanding of key human factors
associated with a successful organisational approach to data governance,
and focuses on practical methods and processes of building an information
community that collaborates effectively to achieve better business value.
You will learn to answer questions such as:
»» What is data governance?
»» Who needs to be involved?
»» Should I centralize or federate data governance?
»» How do I get data governance on the business agenda?
