Data Governance in Practice - Integrating with Organisation Decision Making

Thursday 11:20am - 11:50am, ITP Conference (Upstairs 3 (CatalystIT))

Data Governance is a strategic response to emerging risks and opportunities that stem from the rapid growth of data and digital business models. Low-cost computing and storage, Internet of Things and the emergence of mega IT vendors create the need for leadership to act on information whilst protecting their organisation and their clients from harm.

This presentation examines the core components of data governance professional practice from the 'outside in'. Key popular data governance frameworks in practice are covered. An overview of regulatory drivers for data governance is discussed.

One of the most important factors in a professional practice area is how well it engages the rest of the organisation. Towards this end, the presentation will discuss approaches of engagement with traditional governance and business management disciplines as well as IT and Project governance and management.

Data Governance will not scale to expectations without the utilisation of fit-for-purpose technology. The presentation will cover the features of market-leading data governance platforms with a view to informing practitioners on what to expect from leading technologies today.

The presentation is designed to encourage discussion on contemporary and innovative approaches to the management and governance of data for business benefit and technology adoption.
