Building a Dream Team! People-Centered Data Governance

Your people are critical to the success of your Data Governance Program. However, all too often they are an afterthought to policies, processes, and fancy new tools. 

Everybody in your organization has a role to play - and from your people, you can build support for a core Data Governance Team to lead the change! The most successful transformations we have seen have resulted from an organic development of Data Governance from the organization and culture, rather than a top-down imposition of Governance structure and word-heavy policies.  

In this session, I will share best practices and approaches for developing a new people-centred Data Governance program at your organization. 

This presentation will touch on the following topics:

• What is people-centred Data Governance and why is it important?
• Developing your Data Governance story to gain organizational support
• How to get started and demonstrate value quickly
• Managing a growing Data Governance program
• Approaches to delivering Data Governance
