Data Governance Importance
- Data governance is increasingly important as business models evolve and data landscapes change.
- More data access requires governance to maintain security and trust.
Data Governance Value
- Data governance's value is threefold: risk avoidance, cost reduction, and revenue increase.
- Quantifying this value requires cross-functional collaboration and action.
Non-Invasive Data Governance
- Avoid disruptive data governance; don't halt operations to fix data issues.
- Instead, embed data governance within existing workflows; be a coach, not a police officer.
