Data Governance & Data Management: Frameworks, Quality, Metadata & Implementation

This five-day programme prepares data professionals to build a governed data capability that an organisation can rely on, covering data governance foundations and frameworks, data quality assessment and improvement, metadata, lineage and catalogues, master data, reference data and architecture, and implementation, maturity and adoption. Participants develop skills in governance operating model design, data quality assessment, metadata and lineage management, and implementation planning.

Introduction

Data Governance & Data Management: Frameworks, Quality, Metadata & Implementation Training Course prepares data professionals to build a governed data capability that an organisation can rely on. Participants work through data governance concepts and operating models, the DAMA-DMBOK knowledge areas, data quality dimensions, assessment, and remediation, metadata management, data lineage, and catalogue practice, master and reference data management, and implementation planning, maturity assessment, and change adoption as one connected discipline. The programme links the data an organisation holds with the decisions and reporting that data either supports or undermines. As a result, learners gain a practical method for data governance and management. Furthermore, the course strengthens governance design, data quality judgement, and implementation discipline.
