 ically solid, strategically aligned data governance program can quickly bec
 ome derailed by miscommunication, lack of trust, and avoidance of change. H
 ow do you give your program the best chance of success? Many data professio
 nals may not know how to build rapport and effectively lead their organizat
 ions through data governance implementations. \n\nFrom requirements ga
 thering, which can easily be perceived as confrontational, to overcoming po
 tential fear of reprisal when uncovering less than ideal workflows and shad
 ow systems, as data professionals we need coaching to learn to put ourselve
 s on the “other side of the fence” and create robust partnershi
 ps. This session will describe a simple, but effective framework of change 
 management to apply to every data project or program. Additionally, we&rsqu
 o;ll have some fun demonstrating ways to leverage key soft skills that will
  enable you to be a more effective data leader, no matter the audience you 
 are engaging.\n\nThis session will focus on techniques we’ve found ef
 fective in winning hearts and minds and building relationships across organ
 izations to achieve successful data governance outcomes. Some of these incl
 ude: \n\n
 Conducting non-linear requirements gathering and validation exercises to in
 crease program design effectiveness\n
 Structuring meetings in ways that encourage full engagement\n
 Building and maintaining trust through collaboration\n
 Using storytelling to align teams and get buy-in\n
 Encouraging creativity and curiosity in every communication\n\nYou’ll
  leave this session with practical skills that can be implemented immediate
 ly to increase the success of your data governance program and, hopefully, 
 bring more fun and enjoyment for everyone!\n
