Learn 6 easy steps to Win at Data Governance. This course has all you ever need to know about data, governance and what a fully functional data governance framework should include. The course is aimed at those brand new to data governance, those that need a refresher, or those that have never been formally trained on the subject.

Why bother putting a dollar value on data? In our 2021 research, we found that every single respondent agreed with the statement that "data is an enterprise asset". However, a large proportion of firms were only viewing data in terms of the costs to store or purchase it. Imagine a business where their financial reports only ever displayed their costs:

• You'd have a list of inventory, materials and property that had been purchased by no revenue to show for it
• There'd be a large line-item for staff salaries, but you wouldn't have any sales
• Even if they disposed of these assets, they wouldn't record any value from doing so

No one would invest in such a firm. And no one will invest in your data project if you keep reporting it as yet another cost. Let's change that. Let's start to place a dollar value on the work we're doing and really treat data as an enterprise asset.  

If you're like most data professionals, you'll know you need an ironclad data strategy to excite your execs, but you probably don't know where to start. You're not alone.

• Do you want to run a data-driven business, but don't know where to start?
• Do the words "Data Strategy" sound meaningless to you?
• Are your executive's eyes rolling when you talk about data?
• Have you spent months putting your data manifesto together, only to get knocked back for funding and resources?
• Are you fed up reading theory and want real-world examples that you can immediately apply?

Then this course is for you.
