🔐 Day 19 – Why Data Governance Matters More Than Ever Everyone wants advanced analytics, AI models, and real-time dashboards. But without data governance, those initiatives often collapse under their own weight. I’ve seen teams spend 60% of their time reconciling conflicting data definitions, or dashboards that don’t even align with financial reports. That’s what poor governance looks like — data becomes a blocker, not an enabler. Common pitfalls without governance: ❌ Conflicting definitions ❌ Data errors slipping into reports and dashboards ❌ Lack of accountability for data quality ❌ Slow decision-making due to mistrust in data Data governance is not about bureaucracy — it’s about balance. Benefits of strong governance: ✅ Clarity & Ownership → Every dataset has an accountable owner. ✅ Consistency → Standard definitions prevent multiple “versions of the truth.” ✅ Compliance & Security → Protects sensitive data and avoids regulatory risk. ✅ Quality & Accessibility → Ensures data is accurate, timely, and available. ✅ Enablement → Speeds up delivery by reducing rework and confusion. An iterative approach to solving data governance: Start small, iterate, and grow trust over time. #DataGovernance #DataStrategy #DataManagement #Analytics #DataQuality #30DayChallenge #AI
