How to Demonstrate the Value of Your Data Governance Program - Panel

One of the questions The Data Governance Professionals Organization (DGPO) receives from members is “How do I demonstrate and prove the value of my data governance program?”

Is your DG program adding value to the organization? Is your DG program achieving its goals and mission? Therefore, in order to be ready to answer these questions, it is important that you consider and identify quantifiable metrics so that you can measure your program’s success.

Join (DGPO) Data Governance Professionals Organization Board Members Chrissy Bloom, Sherry Hidalgo, Tina Radcliff, David Street, Steve Zagoudis, and DGPO Advisor David Loshin on Tuesday morning, Dec. 6th for a panel discussion and learn about their success in developing data governance and data quality metrics in their Data Governance Programs.
