Build up your practical knowledge and maximize your success 

Implementing data governance can sometimes seem like you're trying to boil the ocean. How can you be successful at it?

Data governance is becoming a hotter topic by the hour. BusinessWire estimates its market to reach $15.1 billion by 2030. As companies aim to become more data-driven and prepare for the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI), the demand for scalable and successful data governance programs is skyrocketing.

AI is revolutionizing industries, but its success is entirely dependent on high-quality, trusted, and well-governed data. Without a strong data governance foundation, AI systems and anything based on data, for that matter, can fall victim to poor data quality, bias, and compliance issues, hindering their potential and jeopardizing trust.

As a result, more and more professionals, such as yourself, want to better understand data governance and how they could implement it in their organization. But how can they learn it? How do YOU learn it?

Other than learning on the job - which is time-consuming, sometimes nerve-wracking and not necessarily earning trust from our peers and leaders - there are very few good resources out there for current or future data governance professionals. In addition, most of the content and courses to be found are theoretical, hard to follow, as well as not actionable, nor practical.


But as organizations increasingly rely on AI and data-driven decision-making, their need and desire for you to implement a functional, sustainable, highly adopted and praised data governance program, has become unavoidable and imperative

If:

  • You need a clear plan on how to effectively implement, improve and refine data governance in your organization;
  • You want to stop wasting time on theoretical material, scattered information and guidance, or on what's not working;
  • You feel you need more practical knowledge to successfully implement a data governance program...

It's time to learn from an award-winning data governance practitioner who can provide you with the practical steps, best practices, and templates to put together and implement a successful data governance program.

Practical Data Governance: Implementation

The purpose of this course is to build your practical knowledge and maximize your success as a current or future data governance professional. The lessons and materials provided will be instrumental in your planning and implementation of a data governance program. You will learn the practical steps, best practices, and templates to put together and implement your data governance program from scratch or improve the one you have.

Here’s what people are saying about the course teacher


Luca de Joanna

Senior Business Data Lead

Recommend George's work in the data governance space

I'm really pleased and honored to recommend George's work in the data governance space.


Every article and video from George manages to perfectly describe and explain different areas in data governance and data intelligence, from master data to metadata management, from data quality to visualization, from business glossary to the data dictionary. All this with the business in mind, and not just as a technical exercise.

Thanks to George's work, regularly delivered to the public, I've been able to learn a lot and benefit from it in my daily job. [...]

Piotr Kononow

CEO

Professional educator on data management topics

I recommend George if you want a professional educator on data management topics.


But, don’t take my word for it – check out his impressive collection on educational Lights on Data videos on YouTube. [...]

Any student would be lucky to have him as an instructor

George is the type of person who is very professional and knowledgeable and, at the same time, friendly, easy-going and fun to be around. Any student would be lucky to have him as an instructor.


I'm looking forward to seeing him again at conferences, because his presentations are always such an eye-candy and full of no-fluff, practical content. [...]

Why this course is a great option for you

This online course is the smartest, most cost effective, and time saving option of learning how to implement a data governance program. It is developed to be a 1-stop-shop that includes:

  • Real-life examples, relevant knowledge and best practices on implementing data governance
  • Practical templates you’ll be able to use and adapt easily and right away to your own needs
  • An engaging and fun learning experience with George Firican, your friendly data guy, who is great at turning dry knowledge into digestible and enjoyable bites

Plus this online course is the better way of learning:

  • At your own pace
  • From the comfort of your home or office, or anywhere you want to (it's mobile friendly, too)
  • With unlimited access to the material

What would be the other options?

  • Reinventing the wheel: This is probably the longest and hardest route to take as there will be quite a bit of trial and error. It’s time, money and energy consuming. Plus you can lose trust from your organization if this is not done right the first time around.
  • Getting consulting services:  The equivalent of consulting services hours (~ 4 hrs) would cost you anywhere between $750 to $2,100 or more. You probably would still have follow-up questions and if you wanted to revisit your learning, you'll need to book more hours.
  • Learning from other sources: I think it's always good to learn from multiple sources, but if you've taken other data governance or data management courses then you know that they focus more on the theory than on the practical takeaways. Not to mention that you won't benefit from the templates available in this course.
  • Hiring someone to setup your data governance program: It’s the most expensive approach and far from being fail proof, because ultimately no one knows the organization as you do. Additionally, you lose the business knowledge and control and you might be left with the challenge of maintaining something that wasn't built according to best practices. Not to mention that this engagement would end up costing you at least $50,000.

Exactly What You Need

This course covers everything you need to know in order to get started and set up your data governance program. The courses were detailed enough, and I found the total length of this course to be just right. I took notes on every video and now have my own written handbook/quick reference guide.

George delivers high quality material, information, and explanations. I loved the explanation of the operating model, doing the ad-hoc assessment, and how all of that ties in to building your strategy, TOR, and scope documents. He also helped make Principles, Policies, and Standards practical and tangible for me.

I've already used some learnings to guide my customers on best practices, and can be more prescriptive in my guidance. I also have this course to point them to in order to learn more.

I would recommend this course to anyone who is familiar with the theory, but needs to get the ball rolling and wants to know where to actually start, and what specifically to do.

Duane Tomlinson Customer Success Manager

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.

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.

Impressed!

I was skeptical at first because there isn't a lot of content regarding data governance that is actually truly beneficial for individuals looking for practical knowledge in that relatively controversy field. George is one of those instructors who can deliver content in a way that it is understandable, straight to the point, and yes... PRACTICAL. Templates and all are just great to have and complement the content 100%. Thank you George, can't wait for you to release other relevant course for the data governance professionals looking to expend their knowledge.

A Remarkable and Practical Data Governance Training Experience

Having participated in numerous data governance trainings over the years, I can confidently say that this course ranks among the very best I've encountered. What sets this training apart is its exceptionally practical approach. The course provides ample tools and resources that are immediately applicable, making the complex world of data governance accessible and manageable.

The instructor plays a significant role in this positive experience. He does not not only take the time to address each question but also ensure that answers are thorough and meaningful. This level of engagement and seriousness in addressing inquiries is something I deeply appreciate, as it significantly enhances the learning process.

Another highlight of this course is the provision of practical templates. These resources are a game-changer, offering concrete examples and guidelines that can be directly applied to real-world data governance challenges. It's clear that a lot of thought and expertise went into the development of these materials, and they truly elevate the overall quality of the training.

Accessibility is another strong point of this training. The course is designed to be low-threshold, catering to both beginners and those with more experience in the field. This inclusivity, coupled with the instructor's sympathetic demeanor, creates a welcoming and supportive learning environment.

In summary, this data governance training is exceptional for its practicality, comprehensive support materials, and the instructor's attentive and approachable manner. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding and skills in data governance.

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!

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!!

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.

Unfortunately, we often don’t have the leverage we need to cope with these challenges and a lot of what we do is considered as new territory. I know how you feel!


I dedicate my work in general, and this course, in particular, to save you time, to make you knowledgeable, to feel in-charge and feel confident in your deliverables. Throughout this course you will learn step-by-step how to implement a successful data governance program, or significantly improve your existing one. You will be ready to use the newly acquired knowledge in all your data governance endeavors.


Thanks for doing what you do! I’ll see you on the other side.
