Data Governance important for improved business efficiency, flexibility, and competitive advantage, and in the era of increasing information-based regulatory and compliance rules it is essential. Every day we read about data security and risk concerns, and these – together with current and emerging regulations such as the Data Protection Act, BCBS239, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – mean that Data Governance is no longer optional. How can we manage our data and prepare for these regulations? What is Data Governance and what are its implications?

This DMBoK and CDMP Specialist Deep Dive: Data Governance three-day live, online training will provide a solid foundation in the topic of Data Governance by describing its purpose, outcome, the typical organization structures required, and the drivers for Data Governance. It will highlight the Data Governance implications of various regulatory acts and illustrate how organizations can prepare for compliance. Additionally, the 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. Crucially, it will show how Data Governance can be implemented in bite-sized chunks vs. being approached in a top-down “big bang” manner.

The training presents methods and practices for addressing key Data Governance challenges and equipping organizations to address the challenges that increased regulatory scrutiny brings. It is grounded in the industry standard, DAMA International Data Management Body of Knowledge (DmBoK).

The training also prepares attendees to take the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) Data Governance Specialist exam that is necessary for the attainment of the Practitioner and Master levels.

In addition, the vital relationship between Data Governance and other core information disciplines – including Data Quality, Master Data Management, and Data Modeling – will be highlighted.

The DAMA International-endorsed live, online training was developed with DAMA International, DATAVERSITY, and Christopher Bradley, the VP of Professional Development at DAMA.
