Data Governance – Unlock Data Potential Not Just Data Protection
summary
Argues data governance should unlock value not just avoid fines, claiming one model delivered a £25 million yearly benefit but lost a week of rollout costing £500k per week because undocumented fields forced cleaning and rework; most projects spend 75% of time on discovery, access and cleansing. Recommends a concrete 10-week starter: 2–4 weeks for a maturity assessment, 2–4 weeks to define roles, CDEs and quality thresholds, then roll out stewards, owners and a governance committee so analysts spend time building models instead of repeating prior work.
