Apply modern business architecture practices, risk management principles and Agile methods to achieve High Performance Data Governance! 

Louise Davey


High Performance Data Governance

Nothing has the power to transform your organization as quickly or as profoundly as Data Governance. Data Governance is your gateway capability to Digital Transformation, Data Security, AI success and Agile Operations. There is no time to waste and plenty of work to get done. Every organization needs Data Governance and they need people like you to make it work. Unfortunately, failure is all too common since standard Data Governance reference models are theoretical and vague on how to operationalize real-world Data Governance. This course lays out the essential Data Governance building blocks and teaches you how to put them together smartly and efficiently. We start by answering the questions : "What does good Data Governance look like ?", "What works ?", "What doesn't ?" and "Why ?" using three case study organizations from different industries different structures and different scales. More than that, we’ll infiltrate and invigorate Data Governance with Business Architecture Frameworks, Risk Management methods and Agile Delivery concepts to create a new generation of High Performance Data Governance (yes, the Unicorn!).
