Here’s Some Resources Regarding People and Data Governance / Data Intelligence

People are an important part of data governance. They are part of the necessary framework. In this blog post we will mention educational resources (blog posts, videos, and recorded webinars) that are available regarding people’s involvement with data governance (or data intelligence) at an organization.

There are many people involved with data and data governance at an organization. This includes the users or consumers of the data who are entering in information or looking at reports. Also, there are the data stewards (we have additional resources regarding data stewardship which can be found here) or subject matter experts that are handling the questions or resolving the data requests and issues. Another important group is the management or leadership team who is involved in overseeing the data governance initiative. When you are discussing people at an organization you think of areas such as training, education, and communication. People must have the right skills (hard and soft) and training (about the data, data governance and the tools being used).  And they must know what is going on.  Feel free to check out the following resources:
