What is the Strategic Data Catalog ROI Frameworks course about?
Even mature data catalogs stall when they can't demonstrate clear financial and operational returns across siloed, remote, or hybrid teams. Without standardized methods to quantify catalog adoption, trace data usage to outcomes, or allocate stewardship costs, initiatives lose funding and momentum. Leaders are expected to show impact, but rarely have the tools to model it convincingly.
