Data Governance Roles and Why Everybody is a Steward

Roles and responsibilities are a core component of building a successful data governance program. Taking a non-invasive approach to role definition increases the odds that your program will add value and be sustainable. But taking this approach requires effective explanation of how to overcome the complexities required to wrap the entire organization in governance.

Join Bob Seiner for this special two-hour DAMA-NY presentation that will evolve a proven data governance framework into a complete set of roles and responsibilities while addressing everybody in the organization as a data steward. The first half of the session will translate the framework into clear roles with the second half focusing on the fact that everybody must be a steward in order to provide complete coverage for your organization – no matter its size.

This new for DAMA-NY presentation (live on Zoom) will educate and entertain while providing you a thorough data governance foundation to deliver measurable value for years to come. We hope you will join us by signing up today.
