Digital business requires a flexible and adaptive governance approach. Many governance programs inhibit value generation by attempting to govern data use, overly restricting data usage and subsequently stifling value creation. With an increase in data consumers, governance is as much about enabling digital transformation as it is compliance and control.

This session will cover:

  • Identifying KPIs and KRIs impacting business processes while balancing risk and ROI within enterprise guardrails
  • Educating and empowering users to make data-driven decisions that create value for the business
  • Disbanding disparate siloes impeding the success of business initiatives
