Course Description

Every organization is sitting on a goldmine of data. But without the right guardrails, that goldmine can quickly become a minefield. From regulatory fines to conflicting metrics and flawed decisions, the cost of ungoverned data is real, and it's growing.

Welcome to Data Governance for Business Leaders — a course built to help you design, sell, and sustain a governance program that treats data as a strategic asset, not a compliance checkbox.

We'll start by grounding you in the foundations: what data governance is, why it matters, and how it works. We’ll also uncover the costs of not governing and the common misconceptions that hold organizations back.

Next, we'll introduce the frameworks and models that turn governance from an idea into a program. We'll compare centralized, decentralized, and federated operating models, define roles and responsibilities using the RACI framework, and assess data governance maturity so you can design a model that fits your organization.

From there, we'll move from policy into practice. You'll learn how to apply data governance best practices for data quality, data lineage, and metadata into your daily work, and evaluate the tool landscape needed to support them.

Last but not least, we'll focus on selling and sustaining your data governance program. We’ll help you build the business case, communicate to executives, and keep your program alive as your organization, data, and regulations evolve.

So whether you're a business leader, data professional, or someone who has been handed the data governance portfolio and is wondering where to start, this is the course for you. By the end of this course, you'll have the frameworks, vocabulary, and practical tools to build a data governance program that enables innovation rather than blocking it.
