Reports that disagree, duplicate customer records, unclear ownership and privacy breaches all share one root cause: nobody is accountable for the data. Five days teach professionals how to put that accountability in place and keep it working. You establish a governance structure with councils, owners, stewards and custodians, then draft the policies, standards and decision rights that give those roles authority. Quality sessions cover dimensions such as accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness and uniqueness, with profiling, rule definition, scorecards and issue management using SQL and spreadsheets.
Stewardship is treated as a daily practice: maintaining business glossaries and data catalogues, tracing lineage, managing reference and master data, and resolving issues across departments. You also examine privacy, classification and access control, retention, and alignment with frameworks such as DAMA-DMBOK and with data protection obligations. The course is aimed at data managers, business intelligence and analytics staff, records and information managers, ICT and risk officers, programme data officers, auditors and heads of departments in government, banks, utilities, NGOs and private companies. Afterwards you can launch a governance charter, a quality scorecard and a stewardship routine. Formats include classroom, online and in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Organisations now depend on data for lending decisions, service delivery, donor reporting and automation, yet many cannot say who owns a dataset, how good it is or who may use it. Poor data quality drives rework, wrong decisions and compliance exposure, and new data protection rules have made weak governance a legal risk as well as an operational one.
The Applied Data Governance, Quality & Stewardship Training Course turns principles into a working model. Participants first agree what governance is for and design an operating structure with clear roles, decision rights and escalation paths. They then write the policies and standards that matter most, and learn to classify data and control access. A central block covers data quality: defining measurable rules, profiling datasets, building scorecards, finding root causes and tracking remediation. Further sessions address metadata, catalogues, lineage and master and reference data, the tools stewards use every day.
The course is practical. Participants profile a messy sample dataset, write quality rules, draft a governance charter and set up a stewardship routine. The closing session builds an implementation roadmap that fits the size and maturity of their own organisation.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
