There is a disconnect between data strategy and data governance that has become the norm for enterprises across the globe. But in today’s digital and hyper-competitive landscape, data strategy and data governance need to converge for businesses to thrive.
Today’s CDOs and data professionals can’t pick and choose between offense and defense when it comes to data.
If you focus solely on data control and regulations, the benefits of data to the business are stifled. On the other hand, go all in on initiatives to get outcomes from data and insight and suffer the consequences of regulatory fines and data quality issues affecting key decisions.
Data strategies and data governance programs function most effectively when they carry an equal weight of importance. It’s only a matter of time before we refer to these data topics as one in the same.
Michele Goetz, Principal Analyst at Forrester recently said, “Having a data strategy that works hand in hand with your data governance program is the most effective and efficient way to get results while having the peace of mind that you can trust your data.”
Goetz, who has worked in data management for over 20 years, working for companies like Trillium Software and PTC, will further address this topic during her presentation at the upcoming Analytics Summit on October 25th, titled “Data Governance Is Data Strategy.”
