This blog, originally published in May 2021, was updated in July 2023.
Since this article was published, the Sandbox governance and dome tool kit now allow the dome automation of Governance and Governance easier for governance. In addition, the number of metadata reports of domes has doubled, and we are in the middle of a rapid update of homostats. In the future, you can expect to see more product development focused on governance automation and authorization.
He Data Government Institute(DGI) defines the data government as “a decision and responsibility rights system for information related to information, executed in accordance with the agreed models that describe who can take what actions with what information and when, under what circumstances, using what methods”.
In other words, it is a framework of how data can be used within an organization. But for some reason, most organizations do not make a very good data government.
Because? To start, people, for the most part, do not like to be governed. They like freedom. But when it comes to data, total freedom can be a recipe for disaster, since it opens organizations to security problems.
To avoid such problems and position themselves for success, companies must balance two ends of a divergent spectrum, which represents guidelines and control, and the one that represents access and empowerment.
What is the first step to guarantee data governance?
There is no exact answer. But the consensus among those with whom I have spoken that handle data management strategies in the leading companies in the industry is that the first step should involve one of the following:
- Ensure data quality.Because without her, trust remains on the road, which makes it impossible to make critical decisions with confidence.
- Establish definitions and names of names.Establishing these standards ensures uniformity and precision while offering responsibility and consistency. It also makes it easier to “find the data.”
- Hug the attitude of a merchant.Being a guardian is not the answer. Be a merchant who supports customers while maintaining control of the store.
- Understand the needs of people.Ask yourself: “What do people need to do? And how can I better meet those needs?” Then, go from there.
In summary, shipment on the trip with the idea that you want to create a culture where people can explore and innovate responsible.
How do I get everyone on board?
Once you have taken the first step, it is time to generate some impulse. Do not be afraid to use existing architecture; This initiative does not have to be a starting effort from the cannon that requires money that the organization may not have.
In addition, consider competitions and incentives; There is no damage to reward people for making sure the data is correct and consistent.
Finally, make sure the governance is part of each person’s objectives throughout the year. If, in the end, someone can say: “I cleaned 78 data sets that were no longer used, and I will rename everything to fit the conventions of names,” then much better.
Any other advice and government tricks?
Definitely. According to the conversations that I have had over the years with specialists in data government, it helpsautomate as much as possible.
“The more I can automate,” an analyst told me, “the more I can bubble conversations to have, so that it can be more effective with what you are looking for.”
In addition, never connect your source data sets to any of your production data flows.Put a protection layer between its sources and its flows. “That’s where you centralize all your validity,” said another expert.
Third, understand that it is sometimes human interactions.Create a Governing Counciland have meetings, or, at least, establish a chat room where people can go ask questions. This improves the confidence factor.
Another recommendation:Experience with the certification function that modern bi platforms have as dome. Once you have a certificate set of people who can enter all data sets, you can start killing the oldest data sets.
“I discovered that attaching a little water brand or stamp to those certified reports creates a completely new culture in the organization,” said a data governance guru for an important manufacturer of simulation technologies. “A culture of government.”
You can have manually tracking the events related to governance for a long time. To help with this, many modern bi platforms provide data sets that you can use forMeasure the data government. Common governance reports include the participation of the platform, new panels created and the data flow update rate.
Finally,Embrace the fact that it has never ended with data governance. You are always in the middle of the trip, or, in another layer of the onion, and the best way to continue is to continue advancing.
Obtain more information on how to make the data accessible to the time that guarantees complete safety and control.
