Data governance that feels reactive, fragmented, or stuck in technical silos, despite your strategic vision
The situation this course is for
You're leading data governance in a complex global environment, yet alignment across SAP, CRM, and pricing systems remains inconsistent. Data quality issues delay decisions. Rule ownership is unclear. Stakeholders see governance as overhead, not enabler. You’ve invested in skills and tools, but translating that into measurable enterprise impact feels uphill.
Who this is for
Enterprise Data Governance Leader with technical depth, strategic vision, and cross-functional influence, driving MDM, data quality, and rule ownership in global environments
Who this is not for
Entry-level analysts, tool-specific implementers, or those seeking certification prep without leadership application
What you walk away with
- Establish clear ownership models for data rules across business and tech teams
- Reduce data incident resolution time by standardizing governance workflows
- Align MDM practices with CRM and pricing systems across regions
