Driving Effective Data Governance: Leadership, Data Models, Collaboration, and Culture

To foster and support a culture of data-informed decision-making across an institution requires effective and sustainable data governance. This requires changing institutional culture to understand how data is an institutional asset as well as a resource. We will share approaches to using data models to foster conversations about data governance issues and drive data-governance activities. Learn a bottom-up executed approach to change your institution's culture and perspective from “my data” to “institutional data” and, along the way, facilitate collaboration, consensus, understanding, and trust across your campus.

Outcomes: Learn about the importance of, and strategies to, establish and demonstrate commitment and participation by senior institutional leaders * Learn strategies and tools to engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders and potential stakeholders to build ownership * Learn how using conceptual data models can set an institutional perspective on data instead of silos of departmental or unit perspectives
