A data governance policy signed off by the board achieves little if nobody has planned how it will be delivered, funded and adopted. Within a year duplicate records, conflicting reports and unclear ownership return, and the next audit finds the same gaps. Ten days take you through the whole delivery cycle. You begin with a maturity assessment against DAMA-DMBOK and DCAM, scoping around critical data elements, a business case and an operating model with owners, stewards and custodians. Policy, glossary and classification standards follow, then quality dimensions, rules and baselines, and a phased roadmap with budget and risks.
The second week is about doing the work: profiling and remediation labs with SQL and Great Expectations, selecting and configuring a catalogue such as Microsoft Purview or OpenMetadata, tracing lineage, matching master and reference data, and leading change with the ADKAR model. Data managers, governance leads, BI and records specialists, ICT project managers, statisticians and compliance officers in government, banking, health and NGOs will find it practical. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate. You finish with a costed implementation plan ready for your steering committee.
Data governance rarely fails for lack of good intentions. It fails at implementation: when roles are announced without time allocated to them, when quality rules exist only in documents, or when a catalogue tool is bought before anyone has agreed which data matters most. Ministries, banks, utilities, hospitals and development programmes that rely on sound data for regulatory returns, service delivery and analytics need a delivery plan as much as a policy.
The Planning and Implementation of Data Governance, Quality & Stewardship Training Course treats governance as a programme to be designed, resourced and rolled out in stages. Days one to five concentrate on planning: assessing current maturity, setting scope, building the business case, designing the operating model and stewardship roles, drafting policies and standards, setting quality targets, and producing a roadmap with a budget and risk log. Days six to ten move into execution, with hands-on implementation of data quality controls and remediation, metadata and lineage tooling, master and reference data, and the change management that turns stewardship into routine work.
Learning centres on a single fictional public utility whose data problems participants diagnose and resolve as the programme advances. Templates, tool demonstrations and labs on sample datasets are combined with peer review, and the final day brings everything together in a pilot-to-scale plan presented to a mock steering committee.
Participants completing the programme will be able to:
By the close of the ten days, each participant holds:
Each session moves from planning tools to applied practice, using:

The programme suits people who will plan, run or sponsor a data governance rollout, such as:
Participants who attend all ten days, complete the planning templates and labs, and present their implementation roadmap receive a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion issued by Vision Reach Global Consultancy.
Alongside the certificate, participants keep the maturity assessment, business case and costed roadmap they developed, which can be taken straight into an internal approval process.
