Here's how you can ensure long-term sustainability for your entrepreneurial ventures through data governance.

Conflating data strategy and data governance is a common mistake. Data governance is the monitoring and oversight of how people and processes act in relation to data. A data strategy defines what data management capabilities are needed to deliver on the business objectives of the organisation, prioritises the investment in developing those capabilities, and the roadmap to deliver those improvements. The business goals are your destination. Your data strategy is the course you plot to get there. Data Governance is the navigator keeping you heading in the right direction.

It is important to understand the data lifecycle and what is and isn't important to include in your initial scope. Too often, organizations get too many stakeholders involved, leading to a much bigger initiative than originally planned.

Establish a Data Governance Framework: Implement a comprehensive framework that outlines data management policies, procedures, roles, and responsibilities. This framework should cover data quality, security, privacy, and compliance.

Many organizations place a large emphasis on streamlining processes and tend to scope out important tasks like documentation. I worked with a large bank which had adequate controls but did not have documentation on their processes. They spent a large sum of money remediating the deficiency that their auditor issued. It is important to ensure compliance but more important to ensure that you have the documentation required to prove compliance.

Um ponto de extrema relevancia a ser observado, trata das políticas que interferem diretamente na seguran?a de dados de determinada organiza??o. Na administra??o pública, por exemplo, tando o governo ou empresas prestadoras de servi?o, devem observar diretrizes como a Lei Geral de Prote??o de Dados e outros instrumentos s?o essenciais para cumprimento dos marcos legais estabelecidos.

Engaging stakeholders in data governance ensures alignment with business objectives, improves data quality and relevance, and fosters trust and transparency. Their involvement enhances compliance and risk management, while increasing adoption and buy-in for data policies. This collaboration leads to innovative solutions and continuous improvement, ensuring long-term sustainability for entrepreneurial ventures.

Sem dúvidas o processo de engajamento da Governan?a de Dados deve ocorrer junto a alta gest?o e bem como no time operacional de qualquer organiza??o. A necessidade de sensibiliza??o da importancia dos processos de Governan?a, irá facilitar a execu??o de práticas, normas e procedimentos que reafirmam o compromisso da políticas de dados.

Stakeholder engagement can make or break a governance initiative. Finding the right balance of who to bring in (and at what point) is more of an art than a science. However, it is important to ensure that all affected parties are fairly represented in the process. I've seen too many projects get derailed due to not having the right people involved or engaging people too late in the process.

Sem dúvidas o uso de tecnologias apoia a implementa??o de processos mais ágeis e estruturados. Ferramentas de agrega??o, organiza??o e integra??o de dados tem o propósito de gerar uma vis?o unificada do conjunto de dados de determinada institui??o. Outro recurso que a tecnologia pode apoiar é processo de engajamento e compartilhamento das políticas de Governan?a de Dados, que visam facilitar o acessos a documentos, manuais e diretrizes.
