What is the Operationally-Sound Data Monetization course about?

Traditional audit approaches weren't built for data-as-an-asset environments. Teams struggle to assess data quality, lineage, and licensing in ways that support monetization initiatives while maintaining compliance and control. This creates friction, delays, and missed opportunities to lead.
