In this session, I will present a draft of a Data Governance Council update presentation and discuss the items involved. 

Providing transparency on the dimensions of DG allows an Executive Council (EC) the opportunity to understand the health and well-being of the overall data ecosystem. The Council is critical in removing roadblocks and barriers. Providing additional insight allows Leadership to make decisions confidently when it comes to strategy and budget. 

The DGO coordinates the updates and brings the various leaders together to report their progress and metrics. The council members are made aware of adverse data events and their causes and have a clear understanding of the health and well-being of the data pipeline, access, security, and consumption layer.

The executive council's sponsorship and commitment are critical to the success of establishing a DGO program. Understanding the priorities, roadmaps, and risks will allow leaders to ask the right questions and take proper action to ensure successful implementation.

By reviewing a sample of an update to the DGC with leaders, I hope to inspire my audience to be able to demonstrate competency in their goals, take proper actions to demonstrate their commitment and ask the right questions to the teams and stakeholders.
