S2: Achieving Sustainability in a Data Governance Program

This session will talk about how Data Governance (DG) best practices can be applied to get a DG program up and running, and also manage it over time and measure success. The presentation will cover:

Making the case for why DG is important, its challenges, value and benefits
Choosing the best operating model for your organization
Developing a DG strategy that adds long term value
Measuring, monitoring and communicating success

Through a case study, attendees will learn how to implement data governance best practices and how to embed DG into the fiber of a company to create a culture that values data. We will discuss common pitfalls and obstacles and how to overcome them and create a sustainable program.
