Many organisations launch a data governance council, publish policies and name stewards, then struggle to show that anything improved. Without measurement, funding fades and data problems return. Five days teach you to set up the metrics, reviews and evaluations that keep governance credible and visible to executives.
You translate governance objectives into a results framework, then define indicators for data quality dimensions such as accuracy, completeness, timeliness, consistency and uniqueness. Profiling, rule-based checks, issue logs and remediation tracking become routine monitoring. Stewardship is measured through role coverage, policy adherence, access reviews and lineage documentation. You apply maturity models such as DAMA-DMBOK and DCAM style assessments, plan baseline and follow-up evaluations, and examine how to link quality gains to business outcomes such as fewer reporting errors, faster audits and lower rework. Privacy and compliance monitoring, including consent and retention controls, is covered at an indicator level. Data governance leads, data stewards, M&E specialists, internal auditors, business intelligence managers and compliance officers in government, finance, health and development organisations will gain a monitoring plan and dashboard design. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Data has become an asset that boards, regulators and donors expect to be controlled, yet governance programmes are often judged by activity rather than results. Policies approved, committees formed and training sessions held say little about whether decisions are now made on better information. Teams need a disciplined way to find out.
The Monitoring and Evaluation of Data Governance, Quality and Stewardship Training Course applies the methods of programme monitoring and evaluation to the data function. Participants learn to articulate a theory of change for governance, select meaningful indicators, set baselines and targets, and build routines that report progress. Technical content includes data quality measurement, profiling and thresholds, issue management, lineage and metadata coverage, and the measurement of stewardship responsibilities.
The course also covers periodic evaluation: maturity assessments, internal reviews, and ways to estimate the benefits and costs of better data. Sessions are practical, using sample datasets, scorecard templates and anonymised governance documents. Each participant leaves with a monitoring framework tailored to their organisation, ready to take to a data governance board.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
