About this Event
The Challenge
Many organisations face the same issues: data is missing, duplicated, or poorly documented – creating risk, wasted effort, and missed opportunities. Executives often don’t know where their data lives, who is using it, or how to communicate its value.
This course is designed to solve that problem and give leaders a clear, actionable path forward.
What You’ll Learn
This course is built around the MAST & IDEAL Methodology – a practical, tools-independent framework that shows you not just what to do, but how to build a culture of data governance.
You’ll gain:
- A deep understanding of the MAST Manifesto (Metadata – Analysis – Standards – Teamwork)
- Practical steps for implementing the IDEAL Framework (Inventory – Document – Endorse – Audit – Leadership)
- Techniques to communicate the value of data governance to executives, boards, and business users
- Methods to align teams, reduce friction, and build cross-department support for data initiatives
- Guidance on choosing the right standards and tools for your environment
- A micro-certification to demonstrate your commitment to improving data management
