Data Governance for Leaders

Data governance is a critical function for all businesses. It is an important way in which organisations can start to manage data as an asset.

Every business now is a data driven organisation, and an effective data governance program can help to protect data, meet compliance obligations, and support strategic and tactical change. As such, setting up a data governance program for success is an important skill set for modern leaders and managers.

Every organisation is unique, and there is no ‘one-size fits all approach’ on how best to approach data governance. However, there are a range of principles and tools that can be applied, based on the size, complexity and level of maturity of each organisation.
