The heart of a successful data governance program is a well-structured and engaged steering committee.

We will examine stories of successful use of emotional intelligence in building out and leading a Data Governance organization.

We all want to promote information sharing, trust, and learning as we advance our organization’s data, but departmental motivations, interpersonal conflict, and misaligned incentives often present roadblocks. Composing your Steering Committee through a representative framework like an elected body brings with it intrinsic risks that hinder your ability to lead the organization well and get things done.

Learn how to use:

• Emotional intelligence tools to assemble a remarkable Steering Committee
• Resonant leadership to shift your data culture
• Savvy change management to influence senior leaders
• Empathy to identify work that unlocks passion

These tools pivot your focus from “representation” to “coverage and collaboration” with the end result more effective and maybe even a little fun.
