Data Governance programs focus on authority and responsibility for managing data as a valuable asset for the organization. Data Governance shouldn't be about command-and-control, but at times it could become invasive or threatening to an organization's work, people and culture. Non-Invasive Data Governance focuses on formalizing existing responsibility for data management and improving formal communications, security, and quality commitments through effective curation of data sources. Non-Invasive Data Governance offers a complete set of tools to support the execution of a successful data governance program. You will learn how: Stewards' duties can be identified and recognized, formalized and accepted in accordance with their existing responsibilities rather than being assigned or entrusted to individuals as additional work; Information governance can be applied to existing policies, standard operating procedures, practices and methodologies rather than being introduced or promoted as a new process or methodology; Information governance can support all data integration, risk management, business intelligence and master data management activities rather than imposing inconsistent rigor on these initiatives; A practical and non-threatening approach can be applied to govern information and promote data stewardship as a cross-organization asset; The best practices and key concepts of this non-threatening approach can be effectively communicated to exploit strengths and target opportunities for improvement.
