I also love the lifeline of data - although I've used this analogy more often in describing the maturity of organizations for whom I've worked!!! Keep up the good work and let me know if I can help you in any way... Julian - the "town crier" is priceless! I love the analogy and it makes me smile just to read it. Communication is absolutely key - no, that sells it short doesn't it? It's really internal marketing: demand generation, educating the market, framing up services that matter, showing value-add, etc. Thanks for your addition!!! Keep up the good work, and if you see anything you might question, please let me know! Cheers, all!!! Janet - thanks for your kind words and your support!

One key thing which was not mentioned, but is implicit in the title of the post, is to have a 'town crier' to ensure everyone in an organisation is aware of the Data Governance Board, its role, members, activities etc. As soon as DG becomes a 'back room' function, then it is likely to be far less succesful. As your average town crier has a very loud voice (ours certainly does) this ensure that the message is broadcast far and wide. The messages also need to be repeated and in a form/language that staff can readily understand. Janet, Like the analogy over the 'life story' of data - had a great debate a while ago on whether information management had come of age, which all hinged on whether 'coming of age' is viewed as leaving teenage years or entering middle age..... Julian Marty,

Enjoyed the read and your last paragraph made me think 'the life of data' -- "These data capture who, what, when, where, why, and how a piece of data comes into existence, how it is grouped and associated with other data, how it is transformed, etc. It is by this that Data Governance boards can measure the quality of their most prized data." I am having fun visualizing the story ...conception, birth, socialization/nurture, puberty/transformation, the working years, retirement, etc. :) Bringing data to life.
