As technology advances, the word “committee” is becoming a bad word in the field of data governance. But without a list of committees, how can you provide robust definitions and curation for your data terms, assets, and catalog? How do you create a permanent and sustainable shift in the data culture of our organization?

In this class, Theresa Ancick will provide practices you can follow to create collaboration techniques and spaces for action-based results without committees. Students will learn how to establish processes to collect and communicate the right information, manage requests, and escalate to the right individuals for maximum effectiveness.

Overstaffed data governance teams simply do not exist. By removing committees and activities that don’t add value, you can achieve more governance with more accuracy in less time.
