AI and Digital TransformationData Governance and Master Data Management
Every analytics and artificial intelligence programme eventually stalls on the same thing: nobody owns the data, nobody agrees what a customer record means, and the same entity exists five times under different spellings. This course covers fixing that. Delegates work through governance structure and the difference between a data owner and a data steward, the business glossary and why definitions must be agreed before they can be enforced, and data quality dimensions with measurement against each. Master data and the matching, merging and survivorship rules behind a golden record are covered in detail. Lineage, cataloguing and classification follow. The course closes on remediation sequencing and on governance that operates rather than sits in a policy.
