Our approach is designed to build upon the foundation you've already established, taking you to the next level of data governance excellence. 

 

 

Maturity Assessment

A model that assesses data governance simplifies communication of its components to the organisation, serves as a practical baseline for measurement, and aids in goal setting, identifying necessary changes, and establishing baseline metrics.

 

 

Data Governance Goals & Scope

Defining goals that encompass short-term and long-term outcomes, aligned with the business objectives, is the pivotal step in establishing a data governance framework, alongside key success metrics & drivers that adapt & sale as your business evolves.

 

 

Framework Development

Following goal-setting, the data governance framework is constructed by identifying target data management practices, business areas to govern, & required capabilities to align with the business strategy, resulting in a tailored value-driven model.
