Effective data governance— the process of managing the understanding, availability, usability, integrity, and security of the data in enterprise systems—ensures data consistency, reusability, trustworthiness, and security. It’s increasingly critical as organizations rely more heavily on data analytics to guide their operations while facing new data privacy regulations.

In Practitioner’s Guide to Operationalizing Data Governance, veteran data professional Mary Anne Hopper delivers a thorough and easy-to-understand exploration of what does and doesn’t work in planning, designing, operationalizing, and sustaining a data governance program. The book discusses where most organizations face the majority of their challenges in program development and offers practical and actionable advice to help address these challenges.

Readers will learn to avoid common pitfalls and plot an efficient path forward whether their company is just beginning to think about data governance or needs to get an existing data governance program back on track. Each chapter contains real-world observations and quotes from companies that have addressed the discussed topic in their own operations, as well as visual, real-life examples to help readers get a firm grasp of how to move the topic forward at their own organization.

Practitioner’s Guide to Operationalizing Data Governance demonstrates how to deal with situations in which a general distrust of a company’s data pervades an organization and how to solve the problem of data creation and recreation causing issues with reporting and analytic results. Readers will also discover how to resolve communication issues between business and IT stakeholders.

An essential read for executives, managers, and other business leaders, this book is also uniquely suited for data and project managers interested in creating or strengthening their firm’s data governance policies and strategies.
