- Introduce your business to product data governance components including business terms, roles, rules, data quality KPIs and policies
2. Data Governance Maturity Assessment
- Assess existing, if any, product data governance practices exist today in your organisation
- Assess how business-oriented existing product data governance practices are in relation to creating customer value and business outcomes
- Assess whether accountability and decision rights around product data management are assigned by those in the organisation with the right authority, agreed, documented and routinely reviewed
- Assess whether there is an ongoing program of education, training and monitoring in place to develop and sustain the right governance skills
- Assess whether product data governance is based on a culture of enablement and collaboration rather than control
3. Data Governance Maturity Assessment

- Assignment of potential business value, feasibility and prioritisation of backlog
What We Deliver
Workshops
Facilitated workshops will involve stakeholders from across your organisation, from executive level down to business users. Through interactive workshops we will understand your existing data governance maturity, through white boarding & discussion.
Data Governance Opportunities Backlog
We will deliver a backlog of product data governance opportunities, linked to each subject area, to create a backlog to prioritise – each item linked to KPIs and value.
Data Governance Maturity Documents
A data governance maturity assessment is a single source of information to show stakeholders, leadership or board all aspects of your data governance maturity, opportunities and feasibility. We can deliver this in excel format and also provide supporting visual documentation to show data governance impact on the product data value chain.
Data Governance Roadmap
A roadmap of opportunities, prioritised by business value and feasibility and divided into subject areas, to take your data governance project into implementation.
