What is the Pragmatic Data Quality Programs course about?
Traditional data governance frameworks assume predictability and slow change. In fast-moving, innovation-driven cultures, these approaches become blockers. Teams bypass processes, data drifts, and trust erodes. The result is rework, missed opportunities, and leadership skepticism about data investments, even when the need is urgent.
