Course Overview
The distance between a working prototype of data governance and stewardship and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. The constraint on governance and stewardship is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. Progress on the practice within digital and data-driven work is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The course gives participants a defensible structure for data governance and stewardship and the judgement to adapt it. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of digital and data-driven work is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Participants test their assumptions about governance and stewardship against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The programme works equally well for those formalising data governance and stewardship for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting governance and stewardship, ready to be adapted internally. Participants leave with a plan for this strand of digital and data-driven work sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
