What's Data Governance?
Data Governance describes how decisions about data are made, and how processes and people are expected to behave in relation to it, so data is managed according to best practice.
Gain control of your data (without being bureaucratic)
Establish clear standards, policies and procedures
Agree roles & responsibilities and make processes efficient
Enhance your chosen Operating Model and ways of working
Consider a data control framework for large organisations

CASE STUDY
Data Policy at a Global Investment Bank
The Challenge
A Global Investment Bank decided to refresh their Data Management Policy but didn’t have a clear view of their target state Data Management capability.
They also lacked confidence that successfully executing their Data Management Operating Model would result in Policy compliance by the business units and data domains.
What we did
Completed a Data Policy review using the EDM Council’s DCAM framework
Used Solidatus to create a visual relationship between DCAM capabilities and the refreshed Policy
Ticked back the Data Policy to the Ortecha Policy Checklist
Aligned the bank’s Operating Model to the Data Policy and DCAM
The Benefits
Clear alignment between the bank’s Data Management capability, the Policy and the Operating Model
Proof that achieving execution of the Operating Model would also achieve compliance with the Policy
Defined roadmap to target-state Data Management capabilities and Policy adoption
The people we have from Ortecha have been superb. A great mix of theory and practical.
