In today's complex, data-driven enterprises, budgets are tighter than ever. Creating a compelling value proposition for data governance is a necessity to ensure sustainable, long-term funding and engagement. While this seems like a straightforward task on the surface, the answers become increasingly complex as the many different facets of data governance arise and are interpreted by stakeholders. How do we reconcile these differences and clarify the value of Data Governance?

This session provides a framework that incorporates best practices and lessons learned on how to align data governance with business goals and strategy. A specific focus will be given to practical steps in creating and reporting the demonstrable business value of data governance.

Topics include:

• ID and Align - Methods to ensure alignment of data governance with business strategies and goals
• Roadmap - Identifying projects and programs that provide incremental value
• Measurement - Review types of measures that can best represent the value of data governance
• Communication - Methods of socializing, visualizing, and reporting value
