Define escalation and fallback for data governance committees when the automated path fails.
Establishing Data Governance Committees and Allocating Roles and Responsibilities
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to data governance committees.
Course Overview
The distance between a working prototype of data governance committees and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. Technology choices around this area of digital and data-driven work are easy to reverse on paper and expensive to reverse in practice. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this strand of digital and data-driven work, not around theory headings. The most reliable predictor of sound data governance committees is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of digital and data-driven work and supervised application. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the wider digital and data-driven work agenda under scrutiny. Ambition around data governance committees outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this strand of digital and data-driven work, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this area of digital and data-driven work sustainable.
