Connecting Data Governance to What Business Leaders Care About - Money!

Data governance leaders often struggle to effectively gain leadership buy-in for their initiatives and face issues with getting participation. This can be associated with our inability to speak the language of business and align what we're trying to do with tangible business value. We talk about data quality, but does the business understand why it’s important and what the potential impacts are? How does this help the business with its goals and objectives? In this session, we'll walk through methods to align governance initiatives to tangible business value.

• Understand the pain points of the business
• Data governance alignment to the business
• Understanding business value (especially financial)
• Understanding value proposition
• Communicating with business stakeholders
