Reports that disagree, customer records that duplicate and datasets nobody trusts waste analyst time and lead to poor decisions. Without clear ownership and rules, every new system adds to the mess. Five days show data and business teams how to put governance in place without creating bureaucracy. You define the roles of data owner, steward and custodian, set up a governance council and write policies that people will actually follow, drawing on the DAMA-DMBOK framework.
Quality sessions use data profiling to measure completeness, accuracy, validity, uniqueness and timeliness, then build rules, dashboards and issue logs. Hands-on labs cover cleansing, deduplication and standardisation in spreadsheets and SQL. Further sessions address metadata management, business glossaries, data catalogues, lineage, master data, access control, privacy and retention. Data managers, analysts, business intelligence developers, records officers, compliance staff and department heads in government, banking, health and NGOs will gain the most. Training is available in the classroom, online or in-house and ends with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Data has become a core asset for banks, ministries, hospitals and development programmes, yet few organisations manage it with the care they give to money or people. Analytics, artificial intelligence and regulatory reporting all depend on data that is accurate, consistent and clearly owned. When it is not, projects stall, audits find gaps and managers lose faith in the numbers they are shown.
This hands-on programme takes governance out of the policy folder and into daily work. Participants start by assessing the maturity of their current data practices and agreeing a realistic scope. They design the operating model: roles, decision rights, committees, policies and standards. Attention then turns to quality, where participants profile real-looking datasets, define business rules, measure results and set up the routines through which stewards find and fix problems at source.
The final sessions extend into metadata, master and reference data, security and privacy obligations. Participants produce a governance charter, a set of quality rules and a stewardship plan tailored to a data domain from their own organisation.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
