Content
Many companies have started data-related initiatives like Data Governance and Stewardship.
Implementation of these concepts has several challenges: unclear goals and scope, lack of top
management and business support, defining a proper data governance framework, and
implementation approach that fits a company’s needs and resources.
The exclusive feature of this masterclass is that we will consider the implementation of data
governance for various architectures and deployment options:
- Centralized (data warehouse, data lake, and data lake house)
- Distributed (data mesh)

During the Masterclass, we will dive into the following questions:
- What are the definitions and content of data governance (DG) and stewardship?

framework
