project
Manitou deployed a data governance unit to ensure ownership and control of the organization’s processes for managing data as a business asset. The Manitou roadmap focused on three key pillars:
Knowledge
Quality
Protection
just the facts
The project methodology addressed the following:
- Sharing: Share the knowledge around the data
- Collaborate: Create a collaborative system to enrich the data knowledge
- Support: Provide continuous support for users during times of change
- Internalization: Ensure that data governance is integrated into the company’s project processes
- If Manitou Group had one piece of advice, it would be: Don’t wait to have everything you need to start your data governance project – Try, make mistakes, and correct!
