Firstly I'd like to start off this short blog post by wishing all my readers a happy New Year! The beginning of each year is traditionally a time when people take the opportunity to plan their activities for the year ahead, so I do hope that you are all planning to implement, embed or improve data governance in your organisations.

I too have been planning for the year ahead and I’m considering some interesting developments for my business, but rest assured that although I sometimes struggle to find time to blog as frequently as I would like, my blog has not been overlooked in my planning for 2015.

I have received such great feedback on the Data Governance Guru interview series and I will of course be continuing with that, but I'd also like to take a slightly different tack and include interviews with Data Governance Practitioners i.e. those on the ground doing data governance for their organisation.

I know from the conversations that inevitably arise when I run courses and tutorials, as well as in discussions at conferences and networking events, that anyone who has been involved in data governance has valuable experiences and lessons they have learnt that would be of benefit to others in the same position. I have a few people in mind that I would like to interview, but if you think that you have an interesting story or case study that you are happy to share please do get in touch.

I'm looking forward to some interesting interviews this year and wish you all good luck in your data governance ventures in 2015!
