08:30 AM - 11:45 AM

Level:  Intermediate


This tutorial is based upon experience developing data governance programs for a large and a small decentralized organization. Students will be presented a framework for strategic planning to shape the program. Specific implementation tools, techniques and tactics will then be presented to support the strategic plan. In some cases, multiple options will be presented, and their benefits and risks compared.

The tutorial will focus on both the top-down executive sponsorship and planning required, and the bottom-up quick-win tactics that can gain credibility and buy-in. In combination, these provide the objectives for a successful middle-out data governance program.

Students will be presented:

  • Data governance role and responsibility options
  • Data governance organization options
  • Data governance marketing and evangelization techniques
  • Quick-win data governance project suggestions
