Overview

In 2024, data governance continues to be a top priority for organisations across the globe. As the anchor that enables data initiatives – from digital transformation to access and privacy – it is no surprise that a growing number are focused on advancing their data governance capability, policy, and programs.

As data volumes multiply, data sharing and integration grow, and organisational structure becomes more complex, data governance becomes even more challenging. Data professionals in the public sector are becoming increasingly aware that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to data governance. While most public sector organisations are faced with similar challenges, every organisation needs to carefully customise their data governance model. However, most public sector organisations are faced with similar challenges.

The Public Sector Network’s Advancing Data Governance in Public Sector course has been developed to help public sector agencies bring their policies and frameworks up to speed for 2024 and beyond. Based on a tried and tested formula, it will provide data governance specialists who are further along in maturity with key insights.
