Best Course on Business Glossary

Found you on Youtube and was able to quickly applying what was learned on the job. This course also came at the perfect time as I am in the process of brining in a Business Glossary to my organization.

Very helpful and practical

Indeed I found this course very helpful and practical. I am already using insights for this on my Data Governance program.

Very helpful!

Started this course not knowing much about Data Governance. I am now in the throws of developing a Data Governance strategy for the organisation. Thanks for all the helpful information provided in this course.

One of the most comprehensive courses on Data Governance

I would rate the course a 5 out of 5. The course sets the right tone with Data Governance being a business program and focuses on the content and questions that need to be answered when standing up a Data Governance Program. I like the way the course helps with change management and technology but doesn't put any shiny objects at the center of the discussion. Well done! Highly recommend this course to data analytics pros who need a structured approach to set up a DG Program.

Includes everything you need to build, launch and maintain a Business Glossary

My biggest struggle was trying to get the Business Glossary off the ground after pausing the efforts on it several times in the past 6 months. There were too many factors to consider and we didn't want to just launch a "good enough" tool.

I took the "in-person" version of this course and it has changed everything for me. It provided me with the clear steps that I needed to take in order to see this project through and the guidelines and best practices needed to ensure the content of the glossary is great and that our colleagues are using it.

I would recommend the Business Glossary course, because it includes everything you need to build, launch and maintain a Business Glossary or enhance the one that you have. Plus a lot of great know-how on how it fits in with a data dictionary and a data catalog.

Very good

Very good! Learned a lot!.

Valuable frameworks and practical tools

I would highly recommend this course to others interested in data governance. It equips participants with valuable frameworks and practical tools that can be immediately applied, especially the deck and the filled-in samples provided during the course. They clarified the key content and highlighted the level of granularity necessary for certain documents. This practical approach made it easier to understand how to implement these concepts in real-world scenarios. Thank you!

10/10 would recommend

This course has provided me with an excellent basis of data governance understanding and start, to implement a data governance program within my own company using the tools provided. The videos were actively engaging and the course/video length was a perfect length to understand the topics presented without losing interest by being too long. The course breadth was extensive and feel I have a holistic view of data governance as a topic. The examples/templates were particularly great, and I'll be using them to help build our own data governance program. I'd recommend this course to anyone wanting the complete data governance picture and a practical start to implementing their own data governance program. Thank you George!

Incredible content

This was a great Data Governance course! Incredible content and well-delivered. The templates are so beneficial and incredible tools! Thank you!

Well built and taught!

I found the course be well built and guided me through the different steps of data governance implementation. Working with data governance for years most of this knowledge was not new to me but I believe that the help in reenforcing this knowledge and expanding it to parts I didn't yet work with, will help me improve in future assignments. One thing I will use for sure is the templates, as most companies seem to lack good existing templates for data governance.

The perfect course!

This was the perfect course for understanding what Data Governance is and what it is not in a one stop shop. The pace was perfect and the style of videos with supporting slides and at times supporting documents made it extremely easy to follow. This was a perfect course in my opinion.

Really Helpful!

This was really helpful. We are already more than 1 year into the Data Governance Programme and this course has helped us to ensure that we keep moving and building our glossary in the right direction.

A really great course

Very balanced and thoughtful course on Data Governance. George and LightsOnData really did a great job covering all of the topic areas need for Data Governance. More and more companies and clients are looking to expand their Data Governance programs as the importance of quality well defined and governed data is powering everything in their business including AI.

Great Stuff

Thanks for this course. To the point. Concise. Well communicated. Good voice and tone. Nice illustrations. Good content. Very well explained.

Great course

Thank you for making this great course. I have learned many new things which will become very helpful.

Brilliant

The course was very detailed. I can practically implement Data Government from the insightful knowledge i derived from here.

Worth the price!

A very enlightening, worthwhile, invaluable and enjoyable course on Data Governance. The several templates I now have access to alone is worth the price of this course. George is also an excellent teacher! Thank you.

Super helpful!

I found this course very helpful. I'm also preparing for the the DAMA-DMBOK exam and this course will help me to understand better the concepts. Firstly, the course is a very good combination of video guides and text, it's more easy to assimilate the information. The various templates are also super helpful if you don't know exactly how and where to start.
One suggestion - for the quality scorecard maybe an RCA(Root cause analysis) template would be helpful.
Thank you George!

Very helpful!

My only feedback is to keep doing what you and your team are already doing.

The resources you provide are very helpful (especially the templates) in implementing data governance in our company. I'm sure other customers who are trying to implement data governance feel the same way.

This was excellent!

I thought this was excellent. What I need to is further understand the number of FTE to standup a Data Governance office

Concise, useful, and easy to grasp

I actually learned more practical, clear to apply concepts, hands-on tools than when I read the DAMA DMBOK2. This course is an accelerator on actualizing the benefits of having Data Governance in the organization. In my first two weeks in my new role as a Data Management Executive, I've used the course's basic concepts, metrics & KPIs, and tools deployment & selection lessons in shaping our roadmap towards becoming an insight-driven organization. Because of this, our top management now fully supports our key data initiatives e.g. Single Source of Truth, DM Fundamentals ( Enterprise Business Glossary and Data Catalog, Data Quality Management).

At first, I wasn’t sure that an online course would guide me well enough to produce tangible results in my first dip into Data Governance, but George really knows his stuff! The video tutorials and downloadable templates are concise, useful, and easy to grasp. Please keep producing such great content to help us data professionals! Thank you!
