Data Governance is about decision-making. Who gets to make the decisions, how they are made, when they are made, etc. There may be several data management tasks or operations that then occur because of the decisions that were made by the data governance program. To have a successful governance program and a data management initiative, these two efforts must be in-sync with each other AND the scope of each should be known and understood. If we understand that data governance is about decision-making, then we can establish that the key to achieving acceptance from the organization for the program is to involve the right people from all parts of the organization in the right places within the program. People want to be heard and involved in decision making. It is also important to note – a data governance program is not a project that ends. It is an ongoing discipline that continues to improve and hopefully thrive over time. The focus of a data governance program could and should change throughout its lifetime as the opportunities around the use of data and information grow within your organization. With the context from above, here are 8 steps to take to implement an effective data governance program within your organization.
