Starting Data Governance? Here are Some Helpful Resources

Data governance (also called data intelligence) is not easy.  There is a lot of components to it.  There is a lot of content.  You need a framework and hopefully have tools in place.  You need a group of individuals to make it happen.  So how do you get started?  Well, we have written some blog posts, created some videos and done some webinars on the subject of getting started with data governance and thought we would put all of these resources in one place.  

Here are some of the blog posts that we have written on the subject:

• Getting Started with Data Governance

• Better, Inexpensive Way to Establish Data Governance in Higher Education
• Doing Data Intelligence the Inexpensive, Smarter Way

Also, we have a few videos in our YouTube Channel regarding getting started including:
