DGS 201 – Developing a Strategy for Data Governance and Stewardship

Data stewardship and the governance of information assets are essential parts of any relevant information systems strategy so the organization can manage their information. This requires a strategy for data governance and data stewardship—a strategy most organizations do not currently have.

This seminar will offer a methodology for creating and implementing a strategy for a data governance and stewardship program, whether as part of an enterprise information management initiative or as a separate effort. The attendee will gain an understanding of the importance of data governance, the role of stewardship in a data governance program, the various types of data and metadata to be governed, and a plan for instituting a data governance program within their organization. Each attendee will create a data governance and stewardship strategy for their organization through workshops during the course.

Through case studies and team interaction, attendees will attain the real-world implementation skills necessary to build a successful strategy for data governance and stewardship. In addition, it provides valuable insight into the components of a successful enterprise information management program.
