 , data governance remains a conceptual initiative rather than an enabler of
  decision-making. In this session, attendees will explore how to launch a d
 ata governance program from the ground up, assess the current state of thei
 r organization’s data maturity relative to industry peers, and introd
 uce best practices that shift the mindset toward data-driven decisions. Dra
 wing on real-world experience, the presentation guides participants through
 : (1) conducting a governance readiness assessment, (2) benchmarking data m
 aturity against peer organizations in their industry, (3) designing a gover
 nance operating model including roles, stewardship, and accountability, and
  (4) embedding practices that make data a strategic decision-making asset r
 ather than a tactical by-product. Whether your organization is just startin

 orks, metrics, and lessons learned to move from reactive data handling to p
 roactive data leadership.\n\n
