Data Governance and Data Management: Together Like a Horse and Carriage; Or Data Governance and Data Management: the Great Mix Up

The data governance journey can take many twists and turn in the road. Of course everyone wants a “successful”, “fun”, “productive”, “value-added”, “sustainable”, or fill in the blank “________” journey. Sometimes the journey is successful, and sometimes not so much. Whilst there are many reasons while carriage driven journeys don’t go as planned, by far the most common reason is a combination of immature horse, selecting the wrong carriage, and ignoring the carriage driving leading practices.

In this session you will learn the following:

Difference between data governance and data management (i.e. how horses and carriages are defined)
Relationship between governance and management (i.e. how horses and carriage work together)
The role of the data governance champion (i.e. carriage driver)
The role of the DAMA wheel, ICCP, DMBoK (i.e. wagon wheel is the carriage technology, DMBoK is the drivers handbook, and the ICCP is the drivers license)
The role of the journey management, certification and readiness assessments (i.e. pre-check, rest stops)
