Bad data is rarely a purely technical problem. Wrong customer records, unowned datasets, inconsistent definitions and uncontrolled access lead to financial loss, failed audits, privacy breaches and decisions made on faulty numbers. Five days of applied work teach participants to treat these as managed risks. Content includes data risk identification, risk assessment matrices, control design, issue management and key risk indicators. Participants learn frameworks such as DAMA-DMBOK, data quality dimensions, data lineage, metadata and catalogue practices, master data and reference data management, data classification and privacy-by-design principles.
Stewardship receives sustained attention: defining data owners and stewards, building councils, writing policies and measuring compliance. Hands-on tasks include profiling a sample dataset, defining quality rules and thresholds, and building a data risk register with treatment plans. Data managers, chief data officers, risk and compliance officers, internal auditors, business intelligence leads and information security staff from banks, government agencies, health systems and NGOs will gain the most. The programme is held in classrooms in 18 cities, online or in-house, and concludes with a CPD-accredited certificate. You return able to prioritise data risks and show leaders what is being done about them.
Organisations now depend on data for pricing, service delivery, regulatory returns and analytics, yet few can say who is accountable for a given dataset or how reliable it is. When governance is informal, the same customer appears under several identities, reports disagree and personal information is shared without clear authority. Applying risk management discipline makes these weaknesses visible and gives leaders a way to decide where to invest.
This programme combines the language of enterprise risk management with the practice of data governance. Participants begin by defining the data landscape and the operating model that governs it. They then learn how to find risks across the data life cycle, from capture and storage to sharing, retention and disposal, and how to rate them by likelihood and impact. Quality is treated as a measurable property, with profiling, rule definition, monitoring and root cause analysis. Later sessions explain stewardship roles, decision rights, policies, issue escalation and the metrics that show whether the framework is working.
Teaching is workshop based. Delegates apply each technique to anonymised sample data and to a scenario organisation, and they leave with a draft risk register and stewardship charter that can be adapted for their own workplace.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
