Data governance and smaller organizations – how to be successful in small and medium sized organizations


Data governance is one of the most important components of quality data management.  However, small organizations hardly ever implement a data governance program, why?  This presentation describes why small organizations almost never create data governance programs and why that is a mistake.  The presentation will describe ways that smaller organizations can implement successful data governance programs and what works and as important what doesn’t work.
