NZ Govt Data Summit: Business-First Data Governance

Traditional data governance initiatives fail by focusing too heavily on policies, compliance, and enforcement, which quickly lose business interest and support. In this presentation, Esther will explore the main reasons why Data Governance initiatives fail and the key components that are necessary to build a sustainable program with long-term engagement.

Key takeaways:

• Link data governance to business goals and outcomes
• Prioritise the data and capabilities that matter the most by focusing on ‘painkillers’ vs ‘vitamins’
• Communicate across three stakeholder levels – strategic, operational, and tactical
• Quantify business impact with the value metrics that resonate across each level
