Beginners guide to data governance - what I did first!

A webinar By Andy Lunt, Adecco

There are many different career paths into data governance.  Some are traditional and conventional, others less so.  What’s more important is that in any organisation that depends on data, data governance happens rather than who starts it or how it’s started.

Increasingly, businesses are using buzz words like ‘data driven’ or ‘predictive analytics’ and so on. Part of the job of a new data governance manager is to help the organisation realise these aspirations by helping them understand the ‘as is’ data landscape and what foundations need to be put in place to enable analytics, data science and data engineering teams to get to their promised land.

This webinar is a case study of the early stages of a new data governance programme launched in the Adecco Group, covering the first six months from its creation to its initial deliverables.  This involved considering the business readiness for a governance programme, winning executive support, and determining how data governance supports and enables business strategic priorities.

The aim of this webinar is to help others who are new to data governance or are thinking of setting one up to understand how to lay the foundations of a successful governance programme.

The webinar will cover:

• How I began my data governance journey in a large recruitment company
• What the first activities I undertook were and how I aligned my focus with strategic priorities
• The methods I used to enlist support for the programme
• The importance of finding the right balance of governance from the start
• The successes and achievements
• The lessons I’ve learned along the way
