Synopsis – For reference only [Remove at end]
� Solutions to the 4 most-asked questions in Data Governance
Data Governance continues to gain prominence in organisations across the world however the successful
implementation of effective data governance structures and processes is still a challenge to many. In this
session, using our LEAN approach, we will demonstrate practical solutions to the 4 most-asked questions we
see from organisations either beginning or evolving their data governance initiatives:
� How/Where do I start?
� How do I define standards and business rules?
� How do I get the business to be engaged and supportive?
� How do we demonstrate the business value of our efforts?
The session will use real world examples to illustrate how a pragmatic approach will remove the main barriers
and accelerate your governance programme to deliver real value.
