Description

Information is at the heart of all organizations, like blood flowing through its arteries and veins. However, all too often Information is not professionally managed with the rigour and discipline that it demands. Nonetheless the implications of poorly managed information can be catastrophic, from legal and other regulatory sanctions ultimately to business collapse.

Not only is Data Governance important for improved business efficiency, flexibility and competitive advantage, in the era of increasing Information based Regulatory and Compliance rules it is essential. Every day we read about Data security and risk concerns, and these together with current and emerging regulations such as the Data Protection Act, BCBS239 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mean that Data Governance is no longer optional.

How can we manage our data and prepare for these regulations? What is Data Governance and what are its implications? Is it all a massive “big bang” exercise or can we build Data Governance incrementally?

This training course will provide the rationale why Information Management is critical, and provide methods and practices for addressing key Data Governance challenges and equip organisations to address the challenges that increased regulatory scrutiny brings.
