Designing Data Governance

More data is produced and ingested than ever before, yet the number of leaders who say they’re data-driven is decreasing. Today’s businesses produce and ingest too much data for one team or leader to manage it all. That’s where data governance comes in. Organizations today must design data governance—the people, processes, and tools to manage your data at scale—into their business plans.

In this course, learn how to design a data governance program from scratch. Instructor Lauren Maffeo explains what data governance is, why every organization needs it, and who should own it. Lauren illustrates the value of data governance frameworks, and shows you how to write a mission statement for data usage in your organization. She explains what data stewards are, why these aren’t purely technical roles, and how to convene your stewards to create a data governance council that prioritizes the most high-value initiatives.
