Getting Started with Data Governance for the PropTech Space

Getting started with data governance

Corporate leadership wants to minimize risk, increase insights into properties and customers, and improve operations. They need a strong data governance program.

Now what?

Building data governance from the bottom up is difficult. It requires input from stakeholders throughout the organization. But too often, data governance arises as a siloed, overly-complex framework, one that leaves employees feeling disconnected. They don’t understand how data governance supports business goals or impacts their everyday work. At the same time, they’re asked to attend governance meetings, align processes, define terms, to provide insight into data usage. Governance strategy becomes bogged down in minutiae. It loses focus.

Corporate leadership loses enthusiasm with no tangible improvement in insight, operations, or risk posture — and no clear return on investment. They may even consider defunding governance efforts, losing their benefits altogether.

There’s a better way. Start your governance program with a business-first approach that engages employees, quickly delivers high-value, low-effort wins, and establishes a foundation for growth.

This approach:

  1. Links data governance to business goals
  2. Prioritizes the governance of critical data
  3. Builds engagement across organizational levels
  4. Creates enthusiasm among employees by communicating value and celebrating successes

Here’s how you can get started.
