Improve Your Know-How on Practical Data Governance

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

Thank you

Hands down, the best course for Data Governance.

I found the course very practical and easy to follow. It focuses on what actually works in real-world data governance. I haven’t come across anything quite like it, and I learned a lot.

Great course! Thank you for it.

This course helped me consolidate and structure my Data Governance expertise, adding depth and reinforcing a broader, more strategic perspective.
In a constantly (fast) evolving field, staying up-to-date is challenging, and following George across multiple platforms helps me anticipate what’s next and advise clients with greater clarity and confidence.

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.

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.

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.

The course was both informative and practical. As a leader in data and analytics, I found the content directly applicable to my work, enhancing our organizational strategies. The expertise of the instructors was invaluable, and the course has significantly contributed to my professional development. Highly recommended for those looking to advance in this field.

Very good! Learned a lot!.

I loved the amount of knowledge this course gave me. The delivery was so easy to comprehend and follow along. The short videos for each module was perfect for segmenting each topic and allowed me to take notes in between.

I can't wait to apply what I've learned and add more value to the organisation I work for.

The course is a great course. I clearly understood all the explained topics. George is an amazing instructor and explains everything crystal clear.

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.

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.

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 :-)

This course was thoughtfully designed to help people understand data governance from scratch. George used illustrations that make each concept stick to the brain. Overall, it is a great course.

Great practical information! The templates really make a difference.

Thanks so much! I rate your course a 10 out of 10! It was very informative, and I love the templates! I will be signing up for more courses.

Thanks to LOD team for putting up a great course. Its very exhaustive course that covers all the pillars of Data Governance (must have). Templates are really helpful. Thank you George & team

This course on data governance is highly practical. Although I have many years of experience as a data governance analyst, I didn’t find it highly relatable but still see it as a valuable reference for my daily tasks. Thank you, George, for putting this course together. I especially appreciate the concise, video-based delivery style. Thank you!

This course was excellent, 5 stars! I feel like I have walked away with a really solid understanding of what DG is, why it is important and the value it can add. I now have a broad understanding of what a program can entail and how to get started. The lessons on managing change and people were unexpected but I believe possibly the most valuable part of this course and can be applied to any topic, not just data governance. I also loved George's delivery style and felt the enthusiasm and passion which made me very engaged for the entire 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.

To be honest, I have watched a lot of videos on YouTube and read many articles, but still was still feeling something is missing. I have learned plenty things from this awesome course, since the stuff being taught is extremely useful for people who have heard and at least have high level understanding about Data Governance Program/Project.

This is a good course to learn in a structured method with very crisp and clear and simple explanations of terms concepts along with very useful templates.

I recommend it 100% to anyone wants to start their data governance journey. Thank you so much for designing the course so well.

Great content and a best course to get a clear understanding of the Data Governance program. The lessons and modules are clearly segregated and curated. George's explanation to these chapters are much clear to get a detailed view.

George has achived to make simple what it is complex and to put into words what I have struggled to express for years.

The course is full of data-related, leadership and communication knowledge which is paramount in any Data Governance Program.

If I had found this course when I started the journey, we would have added 10 times more value to our businesses.

The course offers an exceptionally comprehensive dive into Data Governance, which is quite impressive. It covers everything from foundational principles to advanced implementation concepts, all structured in a coherent and logical manner.

The quality of the content is top-notch, crafted with precision and enriched with actionable explanations and insights. I particularly enjoyed every aspect of it, especially as I am currently implementing Data Governance within my organization.

George's teaching style is engaging and approachable. He has a knack for breaking down complex concepts into simpler units, making the learning experience enjoyable and easily understood.

I highly recommend this course to anyone involved in data management, particularly beginners who want to understand Data Governance in the simplest way, as well as experienced professionals looking to implement effective Data Governance practices.

I have watched many of the LOD videos on Youtube. I feel that this course was great on the level of implementation.
In some cases, it did feel as though we were just receiving a number of bullet points as opposed to fully fleshed-out concepts, but this might be my view only because I am completely new to this field.

Very detailed course and helpful templates!

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

It was a compact course with useful templates. It nice that you can follow it on your time and rhythm.

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

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.

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!

Started this course not knowing much about Data Governance. I am now in the throws of developing a Data Governance strategy for the organisation. Thanks for all the helpful information provided in this course.

I recommend this course for all fellow Data Governance officer for help you starting your Data Governance program. It's really practical! The templates made my day!

Super Awesome! I recommend it to anyone.

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.

I was basically thrown into a position where my team was given the task of helping our client at the VA to stand up data governance at the enterprise level. You can read as many books as you want, pass as many certification exams, etc, but that by no means makes you an expert. Having someone break down things that could work, things that have caused failure, and learning points put a good spin on the information.

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.

Excellent! Thanks for the very professional course.

Great course!
Good coaching to implement a step-by-step and pragmatic approach. Highly recommended!

Excellent! I have acquired a lot of new information and ideas.

Thank you so much for this brilliant course! My organization is just starting a Data Governance program (literally just scratching the surface!) and the whole concept is very overwhelming.

Your course was clear, concise, and so well delivered! I feel like I have a great starting point and really good first steps.
Thank you for all of your resources (this course, YouTube, the podcast, etc.). This information is invaluable!

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.

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.

Excellent course!

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.

It was such a great course. I appreciate the content.

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