What is the Implementation-Focused Data Quality Programs course about?
Teams are expected to deliver trusted data faster, but work across time zones, systems, and silos. Standards exist in theory but not in practice. Ownership is unclear. Tools don’t talk. Reviews stall. Audits expose gaps. The result: initiatives lose momentum, credibility, and impact.
