At DGIQ, we as data professionals spend much of the week building knowledge and strengthening our own skills around Data Governance and Information Quality. We see firsthand how important these are to the success of our organizations.

But when we get back home, reality sets in. Everyone around us is “too busy” with their day jobs to get involved with Data Governance, and gaining adequate support and commitment is an uphill battle. This is normal, and it can be overcome. Learn from our panel how they have succeeded in building lasting momentum with Data Governance in their organizations.

Highlights Include:

• Common resistance patterns and how to get past them
• Participation incentives that work when money is not an option
• Measuring and marketing the value created by DG efforts
• Data Governance as a career accelerator?
