Improve Your Know-How on Practical Data Governance

Very interesting course on the practice of starting a data governance program, with great tips and insights from the perspective of a program manager.

Super Awesome! I recommend it to anyone.

If your organisation is ready to get serious about Data Governance, but doesn't have the knowledge of how to start implementing it then this is the course for you.

During this course I have gained much knowledge about Data Governance and I as a part of team member for project this was very useful and documents provided was really helpful. Overall I am happy!

This is a great course for those who are wanting a comprehensive understanding of implementing Data Governance within their organizations! Really enjoyed the course.

This practical Data Governance course is simply amazing. The content is so clear, not tiring and examples help you better understand it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a role in data governance and data management.

This is a well-detailed course that brings home the practical implementation of Data Governance. Thank you!

Loved the training helps give me that base to go back to and make sure I'm doing the right thing

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.

The course has really broaden my knowledge about implementing Data Governance. George has really done well in the course. God bless you for this, I think my money did not equate what I got from this course.

This course provided me with everything I needed to get started in my role as Data Governance Analyst. I especially liked the 30/60/90 Day Plan for Data Governance. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is part of, or wanting to get more involved with Data Governance.

Thank you

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!

I'm not going to lie; the data is a bit dry, but this is data governance. However, the material was presented in an organized and thoughtful way. I've asked others in my company who will be involved with our data governance program to take this course. I will definitely be using the templates as guides to build out my company's data governance program.

This is an excellent course for beginners as well as experienced professionals. George is a specialist in making complex subject look very simple to understand. The templates provided are real bonus. I would strongly recommend this course for those who aspire to become data governance professionals.

I really enjoyed the course, so much really useful information for the practical implementation of Data Governance, in particular really great templates. I also really like the emphasis on the people side, change management and how to manage different types of people.

Thank you for a great comprehensive foundation to the field of Data Governance, it was just what I needed to give me the foundational knowledge to build on.

I think this course gave a great foundation for Data Governance. Speaking from someone who albeit a programmer had no experience in the field of Data Governance.

This course has been very helpful to me in my journey as a data governance professional! Thank you!

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!

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.

Templates were very helpful

10/10 course! I'd recommend this for those starting out in Data Governance or wanting a refresher. The templates are a bonus.

This was an excellent course. It was delivered in small, manageable video segments that allowed for breaks and/or contemplation. The templates were exceptional and ideal since they are difficult to find otherwise. I would recommend the 3-course bundle for anyone looking to implement an enterprise-wide data governance program.

I recently completed the ‘Practical Data Governance Implementation’ course from LightsOnData, and it exceeded my expectations! The course is thoughtfully designed, providing clear, actionable steps and best practices for implementing a robust data governance program. The templates included are incredibly valuable and have already proven useful in my work. George’s engaging teaching style and practical insights make complex concepts easy to understand and apply. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their data governance skills!

Hands down, the best course for Data Governance.

Thank you very much for such valuable and practice-oriented knowledge.

A must-take and very well-organized course that everyone in Data Governance should take.

Very good course. I very much appreciated the short segments - helped to make the concepts easier to understand.

I enjoyed this comprehensive course on data governance and creating a business glossary.

Great course! I enjoyed the pace and the flow of information was on point. Thank you!

I am so glad that I found this course from George's videos on Youtube. The content was excellent and the perfect amount of time for each module. It allowed for me to fit it into my busy work and parenting schedule and get done in a timely manner. I like George's teaching style it makes the content easy to take in, understand and adopt. We are just starting our data governance program and I feel this course will help steer us in the right direction and course correct from where we currently are. I will definitely be recommending this course to my other coworkers and anyone else I know on a data governance journey.

We have started implementing the Data Governance Programme within a local bank and this course has helped tremendously in gaining knowledge to move this programme forward and growing it in the right direction.

Course was quite elaborative and systematic approach towards implementing Data Governance supplemented with tools and artefacts and it did capture all aspects. Thank you for such a good course it was worthwhile to refresh all the concepts.

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!!

I love the practicality of this course. The knowledge, tools and tips shared came in handy in my data governance role. The short videos and engaging delivery made it easy to progress through the course while juggling other responsibilities. Also, the layout of content allowed me to easily jump into specific topics when I needed insight on those. I would certainly recommend the course to newcomers to data governance who have to hit the ground running.

I really enjoyed the course and it gave me lots of thoughts and materials to work the data gov in my organization. It was totally worth it and excellently presented. Thanks!

This practical course provided a clear overview of data governance implementation, framework, policies, and best practices. While it took me a year to finish this short course, I sequentially applied this course to my real-life work, from data strategy to practical overaching principles.

I used the templates such as data source inventory, policy template, and comms plan. etc.

I gained to develop a strategy, framework & roadmap, and practical policies that recently gained buy-in from the senior management.

Thank you George for providing clear explanations of each module and topic of this course.

5/5 for me :-)

Very good course, right to the point at nice pace with very helpful additional content, like the templates. I found particularly useful the lessons on change, people and communication management as they tend to be overlooked. Good focus on the importance of business side engagement, as many data-related projects are seen usually as IT-only driven, or delivering outcome/feedback unidirectionally from IT to business. I am currently implementing a data governance program for the company I work for as part of a wider data strategy, involving cloud migration and development of a modern data stack, while facing a lot of issues due to poor company engagement in data-related activities. So the course is helping me to set up the path for a more data-driven culture and operations ecosystem that could boost momentum and income to the company, while educating decision makers on the importance of it.

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.

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

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.

Very good! Learned a lot!.

I found this course is highly productive for the following reasons: less theory, more practical activities are more action-oriented develop the clarity; Understand your role and place; The answer is given for more clarification. Improvement: every program can be improved further. For example, add a case study end to end for the implementation. Discuss any industry for DG standard. Overall great course. Kamran

The course was very useful and provided valuable insights. The teacher was knowledgeable, engaging, and made complex topics easy to understand. Their teaching style was clear and effective, making the learning experience enjoyable and informative

This is the first course I found on Data Governance that I really understood and could imagine myself implementing it while viewing the videos. Other courses only give you disorganized information that you don't know how to use, but this one is certainly a must have. Thanks George!

Very helpful and hands on oriented

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

This course provides a very in depth knowledge on data governance and all topics are covered in detail related to data governance.

Thank you, George - this was a great and very comprehensive course!

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.
