Data Governance is a notoriously difficult initiative to get right in a single pass. Oftentimes, Data Governance leaders inherit the smoldering remains of a previous attempt at Data governance and must investigate and rebuild the initiative from the ashes. Common culprits include a lack of adoption or engagement, a lack of clarity on the purpose or value, or a lack of formal champions or sponsors. Often, it is a dynamic combination of all these shortfalls...and then some!

In this session, I'll discuss the process I've used to reboot Data Governance and re-engage a variety of stakeholders.  Topic areas include:

• A step-by-step guideline for Data Governance implementation
• Identifying core data governance needs
• Awareness of common Impediments 
• Iterative approach to building competencies, capabilities, and confidence

...with several real-world experiences and examples!
