Data governance leads, enterprise architects, data product managers, and IT strategy professionals in established organizations with existing data catalog investments.

Who this is not for

This course is not for individuals seeking introductory data catalog training or those in early-stage data programs without an existing catalog platform.

What you walk away with

  • Apply ROI models tailored to compliance, productivity, and innovation use cases
  • Align data catalog outcomes with executive priorities and budget cycles
  • Design adoption strategies that increase catalog utilization across business units
  • Integrate catalog metrics into enterprise data value streams
