Defining an effective data governance strategy

Data governance is like a multi-player game. Creating a strategy that works

for your organization will require input from multiple stakeholders, with

everyone contributing to the cause.

These roles can vary depending on the size and maturity of your organization, but it’s crucial that there’s an owner who is individually in charge of the efforts, as well as a team of contributors who participate in them.

It’s also important to remember the most successful strategic initiatives begin with the end in mind. That’s why technology choices should be made only after your goals and use cases are well understood.

Read on to learn more about the key aspects of establishing an effective data governance strategy.
