Data are digital transformation’s undisputed protagonists. Data are being collected and processed on an unprecedented scale and driving the emergence of innovative and disruptive products and services, new ways of developing know-how and adding value to undertakings' assets.
Investors and other stakeholders are turning their gaze to ESG issues and organizations are under growing pressure to implement data governance processes and procedures that can keep up with all the privacy regulations being churned out at blinding speed and tackle the increased financial, legal and reputation risks of compliance failures. If one is to manage such risks without adversely impacting the tremendous value of data, one must take a holistic and structured approach to these very important issues. Only if one defines and implements an effective data governance strategy that is in step with reality and the relevant organization’s sector will one be able to actually monetize data.
