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!

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.

What an amazing course

Hello George and Donable! What an amazing course you have created. I highly recommend this course even if you have some background in data visualization and storytelling because the content in the lessons is always something beyond you can usually find. The examples provided are inspiring and really complements the lessons' content. The extensive list of examples and resources is super valuable. The lessons are engaging and mind blowing. Even with the extensive content, the lessons are easy to watch and aren't exhausting. I really enjoyed the course and I highly recommend it. I think the Breaking the Rules lesson was amazing. I also enjoyed the Color Usage and the Selecting the Right Visual series.

Very informative

Very informative. Thank you for this course.

Clear and Fantastic

It was a clear and fantastic journey through the different areas of Data Governance. I liked the good examples making it easy to translate each chapter to our own company.

10/10 Great course, would recommend

As with the Practical Data Governance: Implementation course, George delivers a great encompassing course on the Business Glossary. The lessons were informative, engaging and feel I've come away with the skills needed in order to implement our companies own Business Glossary.
The templates and examples given are a great takeaway for anyone building their own Business Glossary to get started on! I'd recommend this course for anyone creating a Business Glossary or taking part in a data governance program!

Interesting and informative courses

The course of Business Glossary is very well explained everything in detail. I have learned a lot in this course. I am really interested in change management topic.
Thanks George for the amazing lecture.

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.

Excellent

Simply excellent.

Overall I think this course is awesome!

Overall I think this course is awesome! The content of this course is great, I really enjoyed every lesson, especially the sections of selecting the right visuals. Both teachers are excellent, and they provide great examples and resources in every lesson which I appreciate a lot. Every person working with data will be benefited from this course, as we should communicate our findings and insights in a compelling way, so I highly recommend this course. Thank you Donabel and George!

Very detail-oriented & easy to follow

Very detail-oriented, easy to follow step by step instructions/content with corresponding templates for individuals ready to hit the ground running on their Data Governance journey.

Thank you for offering a practical course to learn and implement data governance.

Excellent course!

The course was easy to understand, and the templates were very useful.

Brilliant strcuture, exceptional delivery and indeed a practical implementation!

The course surpassed my expectations and certain it will yours, its not a promise but an evidenced based fact. True to its title, the course is practical and refreshingly unconventional, yet remains easy to follow and understand. I recommend that prospective students have some foundational or theoretical knowledge beforehand. If that describes you and you're ready to get on board and not afraid to get your hands dirty, don't hesitate... join the family at LightsOnData! Captain George will blow your mind!!

Just what I needed.

I am new to Data Governance. I have watched numerous videos on the subject but this course fits my learning style perfectly. I like the fact that each video length is not too long. I particularly like the fact that I have access to templates which I can use. This course gives me the confidence to seek a Data Governance role. I have already recommended the course to a friend who wanted to learn about Data Governance.

Detailed yet simple

Amazing course that explains the intricate side of data governance in a very simple way.
Thank you!

This course was great

This course was great. We have been working to stand up a strong Data Governance Process and this course provided great guidance for areas to concentrate on.

Productivity at its best

Very informative, really made me think about possible scenarios. The things I like most about the programme was the very thorough and clear format along with role play through video critique.

Friendly, confident presentation by George, cut to the heart of the matter quickly. Happy with the balance, which was tailored to my specific situations.

Again, I liked it that it covered a broad range of tips/ advice on presentations, not just a focus on slides. Thanks 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.

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.

Excellent Introduction to Data Governance & Implementation Plan

George's material is logical, straight forward and accessible to everyone, whether you're just beginning your data governance (DG) journey, or you're a seasoned DG professional. The materials included in the course are just the right length, generally 5 to 10 minute video lessons, very good production quality and cover the right breadth of information. It's a great program and provides value at a reasonable cost, so I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about DG, as well as the basics of how to implement their DG program.

Very good

Very good! Learned a lot!.

A very well structured course

If you believe that a Business Glossary should be part of your organization, this course is a perfect starting point for anyone wanting to know more about how to get started, design and implement it and keep it running. Very well structured course and easy to adapt material.

Great course!

Simply put, it was GREAT! Thank you!

Knowledge and resources that I can actually use at work

It was difficult to find a course on data governance, so I was very happy I found George Firican on YouTube. I enrolled in his courses immediately. Thank you, George, for sharing your experience and expertise, your knowledge and resources that I can actually use at work. I will keep an eye for new courses/ videos.

Plenty of positive reviews

I had the privilege to take part of the in-person training with George and I see that the online content available here is as much of an engaging and fun learning experience as the one I had.

I didn't expect to enjoy the content as much as I did, so I'm glad I went for it. I found the materials and content to be very useful in identifying what we could do to improve our Business Glossary and deliver a second iteration of it that got plenty of positive reviews from throughout the organization.
