Top 5 key learnings from CDO Masterclass Season 3
-
- Data governance exists for more than just mitigating risk, it should enable organizational growth! Your company’s personal data governance plan should be defined by the goals you want to achieve, even if you have to work under constraints or roadblocks. Data governance will help to ensure the data you use every day is available, usable, and discoverable – In that way, it helps you achieve your organizational goals.
- Control what you can control: A best practice when thinking about inspiring organizational change toward becoming more data literate. Set KPIs for data quality, manage critical attributes, create a source of truth for customers, and monitor your regulation compliance – Measure progress by what you can control on your side as a data professional.
- Self-service doesn’t mean “open bar.” Self-service is about creating a consistent data governance model that helps to retain control of the data while facilitating creativity and agility and working towards goals that work best for your organization.
- Monetizing, managing, and measuring: The three steps to transforming data into an asset. It’s about knowing what you have, realizing the value data has to your particular organization to achieve your company’s goals, and managing the data to be clean, manageable, and useable for the future.
- Data governance is not a sprint, it’s a marathon! Working with high-quality data, speaking the same language across business lines, and having defined data ownership are all signs that your data initiatives are working.
