Within a short time frame, the roles and responsibilities for data governance were clearly defined and understood — without which the company would have continued to spin our wheels and have ongoing miscommunication, leading to inefficiencies and messy data.

I’ve never experienced any other consultant get such a good read on the organization as quickly, have a sense for the things that weren’t being said, and so completely understand the interdepartmental dynamics.

Make the case for a predictive and self-service data quality tool
Every organization needs high-quality data, but many struggle with what's required to assure and maintain quality data. Talking about quality issues and management can be overwhelming or too theoretical, and those discussions often get tabled for easier-to-define issues.
If you want the quest for quality to be a top priority, you need a dedicated data quality function — or a quality visionary — and a plan to build enthusiasm for investing in resourcing and applying more rigor around data quality.
Our new white paper, developed in collaboration with our partners at Collibra, outlines components of a successful data quality function and the role of an enterprise tool.
