What is the Board-Level Data Catalog Implementation course about?
In multi-site programs, data silos evolve into structural blind spots. Without a unified catalog, leadership lacks visibility, compliance becomes reactive, and technology investments underperform due to poor discoverability and inconsistent metadata. The result is duplicated effort, delayed decisions, and eroded confidence in data-led initiatives.
