How is your organization going to get started with data governance? Are you restarting a failed program or working to sustain an on-going program? What are the necessary steps to develop governance in your organization? How do you get and maintain executive buy-in? What about the relationship of data governance to metadata management, data quality, and MDM? What sort of framework should you be using? How does governance drive value? Where does data literacy fit in? If you, your team, and/or your executive management are asking these questions and so many others about data governance, then this three-day live online seminar is for you. 

In this live, online, three-day training, instructor John Ladley discusses the necessary activities to plan, design, build, deploy, and get engagement for your data governance program from the ground up. You’ll learn about the fundamentals of data management and data governance, and how they work together to help you accomplish the overall goals of your data governance program. Throughout this live training, John will further define objectives to identify critical success factors and help you avoid typical roadblocks and pitfalls, whether you're starting new, restarting a program, or working to sustain it into the future.

This three-day live online seminar is intended for business and IT professionals at all levels, who have been charged with investigating, implementing, or maintaining a data governance initiative. It does assume general business knowledge but not specific technical or governance-based knowledge or experience. It is appropriate for executives, departmental and/or project managers, data and enterprise architects, consultants and technical staff.  

The course is not designed for any specific business domain, and as such is applicable to any business function which is in need of more reliable information, such as finance, manufacturing, human resources, analytics, operations, and more. 

Group and team attendance is strongly encouraged because the workshop activities can be applied for your organization’s unique governance circumstances. Those activities produce results that have immediate application and lasting value for your ongoing governance efforts.
