Redefining Data Governance with DataGovOps

 

Every organization that uses data knows that they need a data governance program. But why are they so ineffective? The truth is that data governance programs aren’t designed for the tsunami of data flowing into organizations today, nor for the way that data teams work.

Laura Madsen, the author of Disrupting Data Governance, joins Chris Bergh, CEO of DataKitchen, for a short presentation and lively discussion on how DataGovOps can be used to create a data governance program for the modern organization that supports, rather than stifles, the usage of data.

Laura and Chris discuss:

  • Why the command & control approach of data governance today is so ineffective;
  • How to take a people & process-driven approach to governance;
  • How to address the struggle between centralization & freedom; &
  • Where DataGovOps fits in among all the other -Ops disciplines proliferating today.
