Our Solutions

Data Governance

At GOVERNANCE4, we understand that every organisation is unique, and one-size-fits-all solutions often fall short when it comes to data governance. Which is why we've developed a modular approach that empowers you to select only what aligns with your specific needs, maturity and budget. Our approach is designed to build on the foundation you've already established- taking you to the next level of data governance excellence. 

 

 

Maturity Assessment

Where do you start?

We establish a baseline for data governance as it stands in your business. Our model simplifies communication to the organisation, serves as a practical baseline for measurement, aids in goal setting, and establishing of baseline metrics.

 

 

Data Governance Goals & Scope

What direction do you go in?

We help you define goals that encompass short-term and long-term outcomes and align with business objectives. This is a foundational step for developing your data governance framework, alongside key success metrics and drivers that adapt and scale as your business evolves.

 

 

Framework Development

What do you need to govern?

Following goal-setting, we create a data governance framework by identifying target data management practices, business areas in need of governance, and capabilities which support your business strategy to deliver a tailored, value-driven model. 

 

 

Roles & Responsibilities

Who do you need to run this?

To ensure the effectiveness of your data governance, we help establish dedicated roles within your program. This includes defining the necessary data governance roles and their respective activities to support framework objectives, including ownership and responsibilities, and establishing an enterprise wide RASCI.

 

 

Operating Model

How are you going to run this?
To achieve holistic data governance within your organisation, we define high-level processes, identify engagement touchpoints, develop a forum charter, and formalise an escalation pathway for decision making. This ensures an operational data governance structure and data domain model which flows smoothly, even at scale.

 

 

 

Data Principles & Policy

What is your intent?

We help define the organisation's data philosophy to establish the principles guiding overall data management and direction. This is supported by a key data policy outlining the intent to support these principles, along with standards enforcing rules and best practice.

 

 

Organisational Readiness

Are you ready for this?

We assess your organisational readiness, impact, and data awareness to prepare for data governance. This includes targeted delivery, activities, and messaging needed to socialise, operationalise, and embed your new framework- resulting in a high-level business impact assessment with a focus on readiness and data awareness.

 

 

Mobilisation Plan

How do you mobilise this?

Our team works with you to agree on a mobilisation plan to operationalise & integrate the new data governance framework into your business. This supports improved compliance, risk management, value creation and enhances adoption within your teams.

Timeline To Outcomes

We use a sprint-based approach to ensure the incremental delivery of value, and a well-integrated suite of artefacts. This approach progressively builds out your data governance framework within timeboxed intervals. This sets you up to adopt data governance successfully in your organisation, with uplift built into every stage-gate.

AI Governance

Data Quality
Data Quality is the foundation of AI enablement, bad data in still equates to bad data out. Modern AI engines can’t yet solve that, regardless of what the AI marketing team may say.
Ethics
Ensuring that your AI engine is operating, processing information, and being used in a way that aligns with your business values and expectations.
Fairness
Bias has a huge impact on AI outputs, which is often overlooked. This challenge needs to be controlled for if you want well governed AI usage that meets business needs without compromising on fairness.
Privacy
Privacy is another important aspect in the deployment of AI. Both yours and your clients data needs to remain private and secure. Sprawl and shadow deployment of AI is an increasing challenge for businesses which needs to be managed proactively.
