Data initiatives often fail to translate into clear financial impact due to misaligned incentives, fragmented ownership, and unclear valuation models.
The situation this course is for
Senior leaders are expected to deliver results from data investments, yet most lack a standardized, board-ready framework to define, scale, and report on data monetization outcomes. Without structured methodology, efforts remain siloed and underfunded.
Who this is for
Business and technology executives responsible for data strategy, digital transformation, or innovation pipelines who need to demonstrate measurable ROI from data assets.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused on data engineering or analytics without strategic decision-making authority; vendors selling data tools without governance experience.
What you walk away with
- Apply a standardized framework to assess and prioritize data monetization opportunities
- Align cross-functional stakeholders using governance and incentive models
- Build compliance-aware monetization pathways that scale across regions
- Negotiate partnerships and licensing agreements with confidence
- Develop board-ready business cases with clear valuation metrics
