Session: Mastering the Data Governance Maze: From Risk Mitigation to Process Excellence

Join me for a 40-minute exploration into the world of data governance, where I'll unravel the intricacies of managing data assets for organizational success. This technical talk will spotlight the pivotal role of data governance in mitigating risks and enhancing processes.

The discussion kicks off with an examination of how a robust data governance framework contributes to general risk management, addressing concerns such as data breaches, unauthorized access, and data integrity. Emphasis will be placed on aligning data governance practices with industry standards and regulations to bolster data security and privacy.

Moving beyond risk reduction, I will delve into the transformative impact of data governance on organizational processes. Attendees will discover how a well-structured data governance program ensures regulatory compliance, uplifts data quality, and accelerates the efficiency of development projects. I'll also explore the vital role of metadata management in providing transparency and context for data, laying the foundation for effective governance.

I will conclude by spotlighting the essential characteristics of a successful data governance program—focusing on sustainability, embedding governance into organizational culture, and establishing measurable metrics for continual improvement. Participants will leave with actionable insights to craft and implement a robust data governance strategy that not only manages risks but also propels positive change within their organizations.
