Hi Goerge, I am preparing interview for Data Governance SME. I would like to know how much this course will help me. Is there any special link to prepare interview. Thank you!
Hi, is there a way watch or listen to all videos in one go? I would like to put them on in the car, but they are too short. Or is there a way to download them?
Hello George. I have been newly appointed as a Data Governance and Data Mgmt officer for my company. I am diving into this field from another area of work (IT related) and thus need all the help possible. Do you think your courses would be helpful in starting my role as a DGO right away? For example, do your templates offer policies eg Data retention policy, data management strategy etc that i could adapt as per my company needs? Please advise. Thank you
