December 2020 Newsletter
Here are highlights from our latest issue.
Happy Holidays From FSFP!
2020 has been a long road. Some months even felt like they lasted a whole year! Through it all, you likely adapted, pivoted and persevered in both a professional and personal capacity.
Based on our learnings this year and as we look forward to 2021, two words are becoming a mantra for us — flexibility and value.
Although they apply to many aspects of our new normal, they are critical to our data journeys in a few key ways:
- Govern the data that matters and articulate and define data’s value to your business.
- Ensure ethical consideration underpins increasing digitization of business activities that are more than just technology efforts.
- Plan to be flexible to adapt to change at a more rapid pace.
- Consider data governance as a service line to the rest of the organization that facilitates data understanding, transparency and appropriate use.
