How to build awareness about the role of data in the organization?

The role of data in an organization is critical, especially in improving efficiency and project timelines. Without effective Data Governance, significant opportunities are lost, such as reducing data preparation time from two weeks to just two days. For a data governance strategy to be impactful, it must be communicated and implemented across all organizational levels, emphasizing its importance and benefits.

Communication should be tailored to three levels: strategic, tactical, and operational. At the strategic level, management and directors focus on business goals and how data governance can drive development, reduce costs, and increase profits. The tactical level, consisting of managers and team leaders, ensures that data quality standards and data collection align with team goals. The operational level includes IT experts and analysts who manage data issues daily and provide feedback for improvement.

To build a successful data governance practice, it must become a recognizable brand within the company, utilizing various communication channels like webinars, workshops, and video tutorials.

Clear communication and careful planning ensure that the data governance strategy is understood and embraced across the organization, ultimately saving time and resources.
