Governance

[admin]

Governance is recognising the value of your data assets and managing those assets responsibly. Governance is not something that is tacked onto the end of an EDW/BI project. Governance is part of a larger culture that recognises the value of your data assets and is supported and driven by senior executives. At the level of an individual project, governance is identifying, cataloging, valuing, assigning responsibility, securing, protecting, complying, controlling, improving, establishing consistent practices, integrating across subject areas, planning for growth, planning to harvest value, and generally nurturing.
