Most of us can relate to trying to get things done with no budget or a low budget, especially in the Data Governance world. Colette and Rose will share their experiences in building a Data Governance program under these familiar circumstances. Both come from varied backgrounds and have different experience levels, yet realize they come across many of the same problems. From the financial industry, the post-secondary education world, and healthcare, they have developed different strategies on how to solve these issues. Learn about the struggles they have encountered, how they overcame them, the tools they were able to use, and some tips and tricks - all within a limited budget. If you are interested in hearing about how real people are building their Data Governance programs, then come hear how these two have done it.
