There are many reasons for the slow adoption of data governance (or as we call it data intelligence) or not realizing its return on investment (ROI). We have written some blog posts and done some webinars on the subject of adoption and return on investment so this blog post is all of these resources in one place.
Some reasons include:
- lack of cross organization involvement
- lack of leadership or buy-in from leadership
- lack of framework, resources and tools
- lack of alignment with organization goals
- poor communication or management of initiative
- initiative too big at start or too complicated
Here are some of the blog posts that we have written on the subject to help:
- No Successful Data Governance Initiative in the Past? Has Your Organization Changed?
- Making the Case for ROI on Data Governance
- Organizational Buy-in for Data Governance
- Focus on Data Governance Quick Wins to Demonstrate Value and Gain Momentum
- Data to Return on Investment for Organization Success
