Understanding the reason your organization has decided to embark on a data governance adoption (your problem statements and the end in mind) is t he number one responsibility of every data leader hoping to succeed in the cultural transformation of its people and processes. The focus of your Data Literacy is to shine the light on your organization's decision to posi tion the health of your data as the number one priority to build a competit ive edge. Equipping and empowering your data citizens to help actualize thi s end in mind by getting their alignment of understanding to boost and acce lerate the journey.\n\nWhy We Govern:\nThe compelling reasons for the " ;WHY of your governance" are in your driving problem statements as an organization. It's ultimately in how much your poor-quality data is cos ting you, your competing data demand, and endemic data issues. Fact: Your & quot;why" is unique, and your "why" must resonate with your organization and your people. The value-add of sensitizing your data citize ns with the "why" of your adoption is limitless, i.e., it earns y ou great credibility with your people to feel appreciated that they're critical to the journey's success. There'll be little resentment to engage and participate in the journey once your data citizens have a holis tic picture of the end in mind and realize it's a win-win for them and the organization to succeed. You gain natural advocates to help carry the v ision and propagate your adoption within their data community. Hence, the b eginning of your desired cultural transformation and a step in the right di rection.\n\nWhat We Govern:\nData Governance is a unique discipline set up to help you address the "why" of your data problems with its stan dards of care methodology to treat your many prevailing data problems such as: \n\n Lack of formalized accountability of due diligence around data creation, en gagement, and consumption.\n Ambiguity in the purpose and usage of data by various consumers across the enterprise.\n Lack of transparency around the origin and journey of data, making it hard for the true source of data without a defined authoritative point of consum ption.\n Lack of enforced controls and weakness in existing quality rules and leakag es in the data journey\n Lack of cumulative stewardship of due diligence and handshakes around the d ata journey across its value chain\n Lack of standardized process to track identified issues around data, priori tization, and remediation of the same.\n Lack of sustainable measures to prevent the re-occurrence of earlier resolv ed quality issues and aid the maturity of Governance in place once institut ed.\n\nHow We Govern:\nWe govern by addressing each of our "why" of Governance in a prioritized way to achieve our end in mind. To this effe ct, the following are some of the unique offerings of Data Governance to ad dress most of the data issues in a systemic manner.\n\n We establish "Ownership" to resolve the lack of accountabili ty.\n We're intentional with "Metadata Management" to resolve ambiguity in the usage of data across the enterprise.\n We establish "Lineage Management" to create transparency aro und data along its value chain.\n We establish a strong "Data Quality Rule Management and Monitorin g" process to promote higher data quality for trusted data and measure the success of quality rules in place as an ongoing cadence.\n We develop a strong and effective Issues Management amd Resolutions pr ocess to track the occurrence and resolution of issues, making sure issues are rightfully tracked, owned, managed, and resolved efficiently as they co me along.\n We build a solid "Change Management" process to establish a caden ce for managing changes on governed data once preventive care is in place.\ n\n DTSTART:20230605T170000 SUMMARY:Understanding Why We Govern, What We Govern, How We Govern DTEND:20230605T174459 LOCATION: See Description END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
