1 Take the Assessment
Today, many organizations are dealing with complex data and analytics environments as they strive to become more competitive. Companies are collecting higher volumes of more diverse data to support analytics, including advanced analytics such as machine learning and AI. They are moving to hybrid environments that support new data platforms to manage this data. Because of this, data governance has become a top priority and challenge for organizations.
TDWI has updated the Data Governance Maturity Model and Assessment to help organizations understand the maturity of their data governance efforts and prioritize their next steps to achieve greater success with data governance.
When you complete the online questionnaire, the assessment tool immediately provides you with scores that quantify your organization's maturity.
WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS ASSESSMENT
The assessment tool and its questions are designed for business and IT professionals involved in both new programs for data governance and established programs. The goal is to provide a framework for companies to understand where they've been, where they are, and where they still need to go. It will also help you understand best practices used by companies that are more mature.
2 Learn How to Improve
The TDWI Data Governance Maturity Model Assessment Guide provides an explanation of the maturity model. It is designed to help you understand the phases of data governance maturity and interpret your assessment scores.
You may find it helpful to read the guide before taking the assessment so you are prepared to interpret the scores displayed at the end of the questionnaire; however, the guide and the tool can each be used independently, so you can work with them in either order.
