What is the Strategic Data Catalog ROI Frameworks course about?
Data catalogs are often implemented with technical rigor but evaluated with vague or inconsistent return metrics. This leads to stalled adoption, misaligned incentives across data engineering, governance, and business units, and difficulty securing ongoing investment, especially in distributed work settings where collaboration is asynchronous and accountability is diffuse.
