Data Governance Pitfalls: What to Avoid When Building Your Framework

Effective data governance frameworks require executive support, defined roles, simplicity, user involvement, appropriate tools, and regular reviews. Organisations often overlook these aspects, leading to ineffective governance. By addressing common pitfalls, they can establish a robust framework that ensures efficient data management, compliance, and alignment with business objectives.

How to Kickstart Data Governance with Limited Resources

Many smaller organisations resist data governance due to perceived resource needs. However, effective frameworks can be established with strategic prioritisation and existing tools. Focusing on compliance, security, and quality, along with defined roles, incremental wins, training, and clear success metrics allows even resource-constrained entities to implement valuable data governance practices.
