Data Owner and Data Steward Training

Bespoke in-house training showing the benefits of Data Governance and giving new appointees confidence in their roles

Do you want your Data Owners and Data Stewards to be as enthusiastic about Data Governance as you are?

As the Data Governance Manager or Head of Data Governance, you are responsible for getting  Data Owners and Data Stewards in place to support your Data Governance initiative. Now, you need to get them up to speed on data governance but you don’t have time to devise training for them.

You want them to see how their new roles will benefit their ‘day job’ and save them time, rather than being an additional role they need to fit in.

You also think your colleagues are more likely to buy into how useful Data Governance is if an external expert tells them, rather than questioning if you’re just saying it to convince them because you need their support.

My Data Owner and Data Steward training provides:

●       Clear and accessible explanations of Data Governance concepts

●       Relevant insights tailored to Data Owner and Data Steward roles

●       Engaging and interactive sessions with opportunities for discussions and questions

●       Practical insights from successful use cases and actionable strategies

●       Empowerment and confidence so attendees can fulfil their roles effectively and contribute to Data Governance

The training is tailored to your organisation so we use your terminology, examples, and even your company branding.

Training that meets your organisation’s needs

Every organisation is different and so is every Data Governance initiative. There’s no one-size fits all template you can apply. That’s why I work with you to develop training that meets your needs.

However, there are key principles Data Owners and Data Stewards need to know so I make sure these essentials are covered.

Data Owners will want to know how Data Governance helps them meet strategic goals, the operational issues they need to be aware of, and the transformation. Meanwhile Data Stewards are more likely to feel they’ve been nominated for extra work and be wondering how they’re going to do it all - and what they actually have to do.

By the end of their sessions, both will be able to see how, when done well, Data Governance benefits their day jobs because they’ve got the right data at the right time.

Hi, I’m Nicola Askham

I've made it my mission to help as many people as possible be successful with Data Governance. I simplify Data Governance through clear language and stories which show people how it applies to them and their organisation. I promote best practice in everything I do and am regularly asked to speak about Data Governance, including at international conferences.

I developed The Six Principles of Data Governance based on my many years of experience implementing Data Governances in organisations. I want to save people from making mistakes and making Data Governance harder than it has to be, because it is a challenging thing to do.

I bring more than 20 years of Data Governance experience to your organisation so you don’t have to spend ages working out what your Data Owner and Data Stewards need to know and then putting together a training programme. You can get everyone up to speed quickly and stress-free.

What this training covers

I run separate Data Owner and Data Steward training sessions, either virtually or face to face, for up to 15 people.

Data Owner Training - 2 hour session

A session designed to explain to these senior stakeholders what Data Governance is, why it is important for them, and an overview of what they will be required to do as Data Owners.

This will be an engaging interactive session, with plenty of opportunities for the participants to ask questions. By the end of the training, they will feel empowered and confident in their ability to fulfil their role as a Data Owner effectively.

They will have the necessary knowledge and tools to contribute to the Data Governance initiative, make informed decisions, and ensure the responsible use of data throughout their function.
