Successful and Sustainable Data Policies

<p><strong>Apply data policies to make data governance work for the long term.</strong></p><p></p><p>Data policies are the most powerful instrument a Data Governance unit has for achieving good data management practices across an entire enterprise. Yet all too often Data Governance units encounter difficulties as they embark on policy work. Simply drafting a data policy is only a small part of what is required. Policies have to be governed and managed across an entire lifecycle consisting of many different phases each with its own unique needs and concerns and must be sustained for years.</p><p></p><p>This book presents a detailed end-to-end methodology for implementing successful and sustainable data policies that will bring positive results over the long run. It goes deeply into the entire policy lifecycle describing how each phase must be carried out including roles responsibilities and metadata management requirements. In addition the book outlines a set of permanent governance structures for institutionalizing data policy work. Such structures are critically important for data policy sustainability since relying on specific individuals to drive the work is inherently unstable.</p><p></p><p>Readers of the book will find detailed guidance not only on the specific data policy work but also on how Data Governance can take a leadership role in the policy area. Learn how to apply practical steps for Data Governance to achieve coordination with other corporate functions such as Risk Legal and Internal Audit. These corporate functions have a strong interest in data policies and need to be kept in alignment with Data Governance. </p><p></p><p>The vision of the book is to equip readers with a complete detailed framework that they can use to implement successful and sustainable data policies for the benefit of their enterprises.</p>
