Data governance forms the basis for company-wide data management and makes the efficient use of trustworthy data possible. The efficient management of data is an important task that requires centralised control mechanisms.

All organisations need to plan how they use data so that it’s handled consistently throughout the business, to support business outcomes. This module, Managing Performance, Stakeholders, Team Strengths for Data Governance, seeks to teach participants who are keen to learn about how the role of data governance impacts today’s business environments, stakeholders and company objectives. Participants will learn how to identify and map out key stakeholder relationships, needs and interests, and coordinate with stakeholders on a day-to-day basis.

Each participant will be provided with a complimentary CliftonStrengths Assessment to take so as to understand the participant’s top five strengths. By understanding the strengths and how it applies to a team, senior managers will now have a more relatable example of harnessing an employee’s strengths to achieve the organisation’s objectives.
