5/20/2024	Micro & Macro Data Governance - Rachel Groenhout Institutions looking to establish Data Governance (DG) programs often start with macro, institution-wide, frames, such as writing a DG charter or policy, forming a DG committee, and securing executive sponsorship for data governance. While these are essential first steps, these macro DG frames can flounder if not accompanied by concrete, micro, actions of governing data. In this workshop, we cover the macro level components of DG programs: committees, charters, and champions, as well as an array of micro level strategies for operationalizing data governance activities. Micro level strategies include, for example, standardizing individual data elements and reports, monitoring data quality and access, addressing persistent data issues, and documenting data and data assets. These, and other, micro level operationalizations of data governance produce concrete results, improving data quality and usability at the micro level while bolstering data governance, analytics, and data literacy at the macro level. Participants will explore an array of micro DG activities and macro DG frames, review templates for potential modification and usage, and evaluate methodologies for establishing the macro and micro components of data governance at their institutions. Appropriate for all audiences. Presenter: Rachel Groenhout, Colby College more info...
