Strategic Data Governance & Stewardship
Operationalizing Governance for the Modern Enterprise
Course Overview
Data Governance is often misunderstood as "policing" or "red tape." In this comprehensive course, we dismantle that myth. This program is designed to help professionals architect a Data Governance framework that balances compliance (KDPA/GDPR) with business agility.
We move beyond theory to practice. You will learn how to set up governance councils, write enforceable policies, define data ownership, and implement the "Non-Invasive" techniques required to build a data-driven culture. Whether you are in banking, fintech, or the public sector, this course provides the blueprint to turn your data from a liability into a managed asset.
