Building Buy-in for Data Governance Initiatives

Session Abstract: It is not uncommon to struggle to gain and maintain momentum within an institution for data governance and data catalog initiatives. Lack of engagement in these initiatives can prevent achieving the desired outcomes of improved data literacy, more effective use of reporting tools, more efficient and accurate processing of data requests, and improved policy compliance. In this session, ask the expert about lessons-learned and pragmatic best-practices that will help create critical engagement from leadership, data stewards/experts, business units, data requesters, data consumers, and various IT gatekeepers. Feel free to ask the expert about strategic alignment, making data governance accessible, and methods to create enthusiasm, prioritize effort, and dramatically reduce the time and work required from your staff.
