Tips for a data governance presentation
- Start with a business cost: Gartner puts poor data quality at about $12.9M a year per organisation.
- Name data owners and stewards for your most important domains.
- Measure quality; most organisations don't, so a simple score is a quick win.
- Keep the policy language short and link to the full documents.
Mistakes to avoid

- Policies with no owners
- No way to measure progress
Checklist before you present

Questions about a data governance presentation
What is the difference between a data owner and a data steward?
