Overview: Operationalizing Data Governance

The Governance model in EDG lets you operationalize the governance structures and institutionalize the governance principles you have adopted. It let’s you:

• Bring your organization’s governance framework down to the level of roles, responsibilities, reporting lines, and communications

• Organize operational, risk management, and reporting processes to ensure adherence to governance practices necessary for the business units to conduct their activities in ways that comply with regulations and serve strategic ends

• Help all stakeholders to answer questions such as, “Why are we doing this?” “Is this okay?” “Whose call is this?” and “Who do we need to tell about this?” and to know when to ask such questions

• Sustain governance by creating a feedback loop in which the governance board and management can identify and respond to new business, operational, competitive, and regulatory needs
