Reports that disagree, duplicate customer records, unclear ownership and anxious regulators all point to the same gap: data is used widely but governed weakly. Five days equip senior data and business leaders to close that gap strategically. You connect governance to organisational goals, then design operating models, councils, policies and decision rights using DAMA-DMBOK and DCAM concepts. Quality sessions cover profiling, rules, scorecards, root cause analysis and master and reference data. Innovation sessions explore data catalogues, lineage, metadata automation, data products, data mesh ideas and the governance of AI training data, along with privacy, classification and retention.
The programme is built for chief data officers, heads of data and analytics, data governance leads, information managers, risk and compliance directors, business intelligence managers and senior public sector reformers. Delivery is in classroom format across 18 cities, online, or in-house for an organisation, and every participant earns a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can write a governance strategy on a page, appoint and equip stewards, set measurable quality targets, and sequence quick wins and longer investments so executives see value early and keep funding the effort.
Data governance programmes have a poor reputation. Many begin with a policy document and a committee, then fade because they never connect to business problems or give people practical tools. At the same time, demands are growing: regulators want accountability for personal data, analytics teams need reliable inputs, and artificial intelligence raises fresh questions about provenance, bias and consent.
This advanced programme treats governance as a strategic capability that must earn its place. It starts with value and risk: which decisions, processes and compliance duties depend on trusted data, and what the current state costs. Participants then design a target operating model with ownership, stewardship and escalation, define quality dimensions and measurement, and plan the supporting architecture for metadata, lineage and master data. A distinct strand looks at innovation, including automation of classification and quality checks, self-service data products, and governance fit for machine learning and generative tools.
Sessions are working clinics. Participants analyse sample maturity assessments and data incidents, and prepare a strategy outline, a stewardship charter and a staged roadmap with measures of success.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
