We just hit a major milestone: 400 members in the Data Governance Circle! When I started this group, the goal was simple: to prove that Data Governance isn't just about bureaucracy or "blocking" projects—it’s about building trust, enabling AI, and turning data into a real strategic asset. Seeing 400 professionals, leaders, and learners sharing templates, asking tough questions, and growing together proves that the "Data-First" movement is stronger than ever. What’s next? As we grow, I’m committed to bringing even more practical resources and frameworks to the Classroom to help you master the art of trusted data. Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s keep building! Question for you: What is the #1 data governance challenge you want us to solve together this month? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Growth isn't just about collecting data; it’s about mastering how it’s governed. To help you sharpen that edge, I’m giving away a digital copy of @Charlotte Ledoux 's "Data Governance Framework"—the essential blueprint for anyone serious about building a scalable data culture. 📖 Can’t wait for the draw?

I am excited to have you here 🎉 This space is for data professionals, analysts, students, and leaders who want to learn, share, and grow together around all things Data Governance — from data quality to AI readiness. 👉 Find all the ressources in the Classroom section! 👉 To kick things off, introduce yourself in the comments: - Who are you and what do you do? - What brought you here or what are you most curious to learn about data governance? - And tell us one fun fact about you (something unexpected, funny, or just cool 😄). We’ll get to know each other, share experiences, and start building a real community of data enthusiasts 💡 Welcome to the Circle 🔵 Let’s make data governance simple, practical, and fun together!

The start of a new year is the perfect moment to reset, refocus, and put strong foundations in place—and data governance should be high on that list. As organisations plan new initiatives, adopt new technologies, and set ambitious goals, the quality and control of their data will quietly determine how successful those plans become. Without clear ownership, rules, and accountability, data quickly becomes inconsistent, risky, and unreliable. Good data governance is not about bureaucracy; it is about enabling better decisions with confidence. By defining who owns data, how it should be handled, and how quality is maintained, organisations reduce risk while increasing trust in their information. Starting the year with a clear governance framework helps ensure that growth, innovation, and compliance move forward together instead of competing with one another. Questions to reflect on: 1. Do we clearly know who is responsible for our most critical data sets? 2. What data risks could be reduced this year with clearer rules and ownership? Action for today: Identify one key data set in your organisation and write down who owns it, how it is used, and what “good quality” looks like for that data.

Hello everyone, It's my pleasure to join your community to share and exchange experinces With more than 28 years of experince in many fields of data from strategic perspective, implementation and educating in different domains. I'de love to share thoughts, challenges, and solutions
