Many people wonder about the best way to build a Data Management or Data Governance Policy that will be manageable, effective, and readily communicable to your stakeholders.†But what does that look like?†How detailed should it be?† What should it cover?†Should it†have separate Data Governance and Data Management Policies?†How do I get support for the policy?

No two companies have exactly the same Data Management needs and there's no one "right way" to construct the policy but we can start with some best practices.†Whether you have a policy in place or are just starting to create one, this talk will help you answer questions like:

• What are the topics that my policy needs to address to be effective?
• How detailed should I make it?
• Who should write the policy?
• How can I get stakeholder buy-in?

Based on work we've done with clients around the world over the last few years, I'll present several emerging best practices and talk about how these might serve you in writing (or re-writing) your Data Management Policy.
