Is Your Data Governance Program In Trouble?
Data is a strategic asset for every firm, regardless of the firm's size or the business domain it operates in. The Data Governance (DG) team's mandate is to define the policies, processes, procedures and standards that will be used to govern enterprise critical data and ensure compliance across all lines of business. DG also facilitates ongoing issue management and enterprise-wide communication regarding the status of various projects under its purview. Since a DG Program is pervasive and has an enterprise-wide scope, DG teams are constantly presented with challenges, during the deployment and execution phases. They must overcome such challenges to ensure the continued success of the program, which will result in tangible business value to the firm. Industry best practices can be leveraged for this purpose.
