Achieving Alignment with Data Governance and Centers of Excellence

Report Format: MP3

Despite more than two decades of enterprise focus on Data Governance, few organizations today do it well. Most companies engage in "reactive" data governance, using data steward consoles to address downstream data quality issues. The optimal solution, says MDM Institute's Aaron Zornes, is "active DG, wherein both upstream and downstream life-cycle processes are integrated end-to-end via workflow such that ever-greening of the DG rules is a continuous process improvement cycle benefiting the enterprise.” Tune into this episode of DM Radio to learn more! We'll hear from Zornes, plus Rob Karel of Forrester Research, Jill Dyche of Baseline Consulting and Jim Orr of Trillium Software. Attendees will learn: How a Center of Excellence can boost Data Governance; Who should play which roles and when; How to secure strong executive sponsorship; Why a focus on process is central to success; Best practices for improving data quality.
