Why Data Governance Initiatives Succeed and Fail

Data governance promises clarity and trust, yet many initiatives struggle to deliver real impact. Teams often start with the wrong priorities, involve the wrong stakeholders, or focus on everything except real business problems.

In this session I’ll share what actually worked: starting from concrete use cases, reducing datasets, and investing in data modelling. I’ll also cover what held us back, from endless architecture debates to weak IT support and unclear ownership.

You’ll leave with clear guidance on where to focus, what to avoid, and how to make governance deliver real business value.

Vorkenntnisse
