Non-Invasive Data Governance

De: Robert S. Seiner

Narrado por: Randal Schaffer

Data governance programs focus on authority and accountability for the management of data as a valued organizational asset. Data governance should not be about command-and-control, yet at times could become invasive or threatening to the work, people and culture of an organization. Non-Invasive Data Governance focuses on formalizing existing accountability for the management of data and improving formal communications, protection, and quality efforts through effective stewarding of data resources.

Non-Invasive Data Governance will provide you with a complete set of tools to help you deliver a successful data governance program. Learn how:

• Steward responsibilities can be identified and recognized, formalized, and engaged according to their existing responsibility rather than being assigned or handed to people as more work
• Governance of information can be applied to existing policies, standard operating procedures, practices, and methodologies, rather than being introduced or emphasized as new processes or methods
• Governance of information can support all data integration, risk management, business intelligence and master data management activities rather than imposing inconsistent rigor to these initiatives
• A practical and non-threatening approach can be applied to governing information and promoting stewardship of data as a cross-organization asset
• Best practices and key concepts of this non-threatening approach can be communicated effectively to leverage strengths and address opportunities to improve

Great intro into a usable framework

Great narration to quality content. Great read for those interested in rolling out a data governance program.

Get the hard copy!

I LOVE audiobooks and it’s now my preferred way of reading. This book just doesn’t lend itself well for the audiobook format. For one, it is incredibly dry and dense. More importantly, there are a lot of figures, call out/summary boxes, tables, etc. that are nearly impossible for the narrator to give justice. It can also feel like he’s just repeating himself over and over again when the call outs summarize the content. In some ways, the repetition can be helpful. There is just too much I felt I needed to see with my own eyes. The really unfortunate thing is I purchased this book with money, so I can’t return it. I couldn’t finish the audiobook and it wasn’t ultimately helpful to me to have in an audio format. I ordered the paperback from Amazon. I’ve now effectively paid for this book twice.

Must Read for anyone in Data Management

Great book. Very insightful for overcoming obstacles to selling, planning and implementing a data governance program. Must read!
