9 Data Governance Blog Posts Every C-Level Exec and Data Professional Should Read
In response to growing interest about data governance (DG), we’ve compiled a list of the data governance blog posts from 2017 you have to read.
Data industry analysts, thought-leaders and commentators largely agree that DG will have a significant influence on 2018 data trends.
Whether in response to tighter regulations (see our GDPR series here) or greater competition in data-driven business, data governance is undergoing an evolution.
Businesses are being encouraged to de-silo data governance efforts, moving the responsibility away from just IT to a more collaborative, company-wide approach. The evolution is overdue, as the siloed nature of DG is largely accredited for the failure of Data Governance 1.0.
Leaving IT to deal with data governance on its own led to a lack of context, gaps and poor data quality because the cataloging of data elements wasn’t carried out by the people who actually use the data.
We believe the following data governance blog posts will help you catch up on everything DG, so you can transition your business from Data Governance 1.0 to Data Governance 2.0.
