Data catalogs are no longer just technical inventories, they’re strategic assets. Yet most struggle to prove ROI in high-compliance environments.

The situation this course is for

Regulated organizations invest heavily in data catalogs but often fail to tie them to business outcomes. Siloed ownership, unclear metrics, and compliance-first mindsets limit adoption and impact. Without a structured ROI framework, these initiatives risk being seen as cost centers rather than value drivers.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, energy, government) leading or contributing to data governance, compliance, platform strategy, or enterprise architecture initiatives.

Who this is not for

This course is not for engineers seeking technical catalog configuration guides or vendors building data catalog tools.

What you walk away with

  • Define and communicate a board-level ROI narrative for data catalog investments
  • Align compliance, data governance, and business units around shared value metrics
  • Design and implement catalog adoption frameworks that drive measurable usage
  • Integrate data catalog KPIs into enterprise performance reporting
  • Navigate regulatory expectations while maximizing business enablement
