Overview

Without modern data governance, 8 out of 10 digital business expansions will fail. Public sector CDAOs prioritise data governance as it fuels data-driven innovation and streamlines services for citizens. Yet, data volume explosion, increased sharing, and complex organizational structures elevate the challenge of data governance for public agencies. Recognising this, public sector data professionals are ditching the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach and crafting tailored data governance models.

Based on a proven framework built on real-world public sector success stories, this course will provide even the most mature data specialists with key insights.
