A down to Earth training covering the real life obstacles

I loved this course, because it is different than the theoretical courses that assume all would go okay according to the plan. George did a wonderful work explaining what can go wrong and why in every step, with the reasons and actions to take. I wish there were a few use cases or examples of datasets showing how the assessment or implementation can be done, but overall I am very satisfied and would recommend it to everyone. In addition to being a data governance training, this program also covers project management and change management.

Cem Asma - Director of Transformation and Operations

Very detailed!

Great course and very detailed on the various maturity models in the marketplace. Thank you!

Deanne Tucker - Business Analyst

Business Glossary Course - incredibly useful

I really enjoyed the course. George shares a lot of his experience, which is invaluable when you don’t have the experience yourself and helps avoid common pitfalls. He provides a lot of information that can help to get buy-in and then get started with a business glossary. I like and think it’s really important to consider the change management aspect too, not just the business glossary itself, and George provides really useful information on that too.

Connie H - Data Architect

Everyone should take this course

Great concept, simple but detailed enough, templates are very useful, lots of new things for me. Maybe you could create something like time plan for implementation with workshops, descriptions, participants and deliverables from workshops to have a clear picture about actual work needs to be done, phases, recommended duration all in one place. From my point of view, everyone who is involved in any kind of data activity should take this course, it will definitely help figure out why Data Governance program is important, and why organizations need it.
Thank you so much.

Daniel Frimel - Senior Consultant

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.

Tony B - CEO

It's an awesome course with clear material and easy to understand. Much appreciated you helping me building data governance in my organization.

This course was very useful as it explains step by step how to implement a business glossary. I appreciated having many real life examples. Thank you!

Marie-Claude Boudreault - Ministry of transportation

A lot of valuable tips

Thanks to this course, I was able to increase my knowledge about Data Governance and different maturity models. I found a lot of valuable tips, both obvious and less obvious to think about while working on this topic in the company.

Monika Tabor - Project Manager

Good overview of the Maturity Models!

I appreciated this in-depth look at the most popular Data Governance Maturity Models.

Elaine Zawada - Data Governance Manager at OSU Wexner Medical Center

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.

Rick Cline - Independent Consultant for Operational and Technology impact for Real Estate Companies

Well structured

Well structured. Another great course. Thank you!

Ibidapo Martins - Consultant

Best data governance course out there

This is a highly engaging course with a lot of practical takeaways. The templates alone are worth the investment, but the lessons, examples, and advice that George provides are invaluable.

In my pursuit of becoming a better data governance professional I've taken other courses, but this is by far the best data governance course out there.

Gabriel Reyes - Data Steward

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.

Audry Ayivor - Project Manager

Great Course!

Great Course!

Bajal Mohamed - Head of Data

Comprehensive Data Governance Overview

This course was great to get an understanding of data governance as my organization starts to implement its own program. The length is good and the examples provided helped reinforce the concepts. Thanks!

Jeff Scheirer - IT Auditor III

Such a comprehensive content

Thank you for a very well organized and presented course, with a rich outline, examples and advices we can actually use in our line of work. I was not prepared for such a comprehensive content with regards to maturity models, and this is just because I was not exposed to an overview like the one you presented here, and did not measure the extent of insight a maturity models brings for an organization. I will definitely use those concepts from now on, even if I am not starting a data governance program implementation. I think their benefits go beyond the data governance.
And if you have more courses, I will be here!

Viviana Bancu - Systems Analyst

Phenomenal!

George has been phenomenal and has a great understanding of the material. Thank you for a great, great breakdown of the material.

Hamad Mohammed Bahadi - Senior Analytics Manager

Excellent!

This training course is excellent, and providing a valuable insights and practical advice in Data Governance.

Zakareya Jumaa Alalawi - Head of IT

Fabulous

The course was great and I learned a lot that I will be able to carry into my position. One comment is I wish there was additional written content as a lot of the important information is within the audio. Do you offer audio to written notes?

Nancy Foster - Mgr, Data Quality

Recommend it to others

I found the course provided a very well rounded foundation in Data Governance that I can take forward with me. Very glad I took this course and I would recommend it to others as well.

R Brown

Informative!

Really interesting, thanks for creating this course.

Paolo Flaim - IT Data and Analytics Manager

Incredible content

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

Deanne Tucker - Business Analyst

Executive Sidekick in Data Management & Strategy

Good course to learn about the different maturity models. I would have appreciate a deeper lesson on the assessment part (more details on how to structure the collection of info…). The model part is extensive, the using part is less deep in details and I would have appreciate more guidance toward that actionable part, on how to transform the result of an maturity model into an action plan. But don’t get me wrong, it is still great, thanks a lot!

Fleur de la Garde de Saignes - Responsable Gouvernance des Données RH

Great course!

Great!!
