Five Core Components

10
10
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Three Distinct Approaches to Determine – Who Are Your Data Stewards:
1. Command and Control Approach – Assign People as Data Stewards
2. Traditional Approach – Identify People as Data Stewards
3. Non-Invasive Approach – Recognize People as Data Stewards
Three Distinct Approaches

11
11
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Command and Control Approach
– Assign people to be Data Stewards
– Typical assignments are as Data Owners
– Select Number of People
– Told “You will do this.”
– Most invasive approach to stewardship.

12
12
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Questions about the Command and Control Approach
– How will people accept being assigned as Data Stewards?
– How will you define the role of the Data Owner?
– Will we cover the entire organization with a select number of people?
– How will people respond to being told “You will do this”?
– Do we consider this approach to be “over and above”?

13
13
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Traditional Approach
– Identify people to be Data Stewards
– Typical stewards are identified as Data Owners
– Still a Select Number of People
– Told “You need to do this.”
– Less invasive approach to stewardship / still invasive.

14
14
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Questions about the Traditional Approach
– How will people accept being identified as Data Stewards?
– How will you define the role of the Data Owner?
– Will we cover the entire organization with a select number of people?
– How will people respond to being told “You need to do this”?
– Is this approach still “over and above”?

15
15
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Non-Invasive Approach
– Recognize people to be Data Stewards
– Typical stewards are recognized by their relationship to data.
– Everybody is a Data Steward / Complete Organizational Coverage
– Told “You are already doing this.”
– Least invasive approach to stewardship / non-invasive.

16
16
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Questions about the Non-Invasive Approach
– How will people accept being recognized as Data Stewards?
– How will you define the role of the Steward, Domain Steward?
– Will we cover the entire organization by following this approach?
– How will people respond to being told “You are already doing this”?
– Is this approach suited to fit the culture of your organization?

#RWDG @RSeiner
• Components
– Roles (Authority)
• The first foundational component of a successful Data Governance program is
the definition of roles and responsibilities.
• The manner in which roles are defined is a predictor of the effort required to
govern the data.
• Roles are represented through an Operating Model of Roles & Responsibilities.
• The pyramid diagram is represented in the first column of the Framework.
• The Operating Model includes a detailed description of formalized
responsibilities, escalation and decision paths, how roles are formally engaged
in processes, and communications that are shared with each level.

#RWDG @RSeiner
• Components
– Processes
• The second foundational component of a successful program is the way the
Roles are applied to processes.
• The notion of the “Data Governance process” misrepresents the fact that
processes are a primary component of Data Governance success.
• There is not a single process that is governed, rather there are a series of
processes to which Data Governance will be applied.
• Data Governance programs typically provide repeatable processes that reflect
the appropriate level of formal accountability throughout the process.
• Data Governance focuses on getting the “right” person involved in the “right”
step of the process to deliver the “right” result regardless of the process focus
– issue resolution, protection, quality, project-focused;
• Data Governance becomes the application of formal governance to process.

20

#RWDG @RSeiner
• Components
– Communications
• Communication is an important component of successful DG programs.
• Raising the data awareness of every person that defines, produces, and uses
data is critical to achieving program success.
• Education must focus on policies, handling rules, best practices, standards,
processes, and role-based governance activities.
• Communications play a role in every aspect of program definition and delivery.
• Communications must be thorough and measurable.
• Communications must focus on formalizing accountability for the processes
mentioned above: issue resolution, protection, quality, project-focused, or any
other application of authority to how data is managed.

21
21
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Components
– Metrics
• DG programs must be able to measure their impact on the organization.
• This is the responsibility of the Support role often called the Data Governance
Lead and Team.
• The impact and value may be financially quantifiable, but this may not always
be the case.
• Measuring efficiency and effectiveness improvements require benchmarks of
present state and the governed activity of measuring and reporting results.
• Organizations measure improvements in governance through collecting and
reporting the number of issues recorded and addressed
• These organization also quantifying the value of issue resolution, quantifying
education, awareness and certification of handling rules and incidents that are
formally addressed.

22
22
#RWDG @RSeiner
• Components
– Tools
• Tools of DG enable the program to deliver value to the organization.
• Organizations use tools they develop internally as well as tools that they’ve
purchased to fill specific needs of their programs.
• The tools that are developed or purchased are based on practicality, ease-of-
use, and the specific goals of the Data Governance program.
• Tools are used to formalize accountability for the management of data and
improve the knowledge of the data, rules, processes required to govern data.
• Tools are used to record and make available metadata in order to improve the
understanding and quality of data across the Enterprise.

• Command-and-Control Approach to Data Governance
– Very Authoritative
– People have to follow the approach.
