Loved this line in particular: “Governance success is measured by business outcomes (faster decisions, better insights, reduced risk) rather than compliance metrics (policies written, training completed, tools deployed)”
Ah thanks Nick! But yes, it should be embedded in the overall data goals, otherwise what is the point of governing them. We don't measure real life governments on how many policies they wrote or bills they passed, why do that for data governance teams
Yup and I've seen it happen. However, too many people in DG have compliance backgrounds and don't necessarily think like that (or are expected to think like that). There is work to be done!

Great spotlight on an awesome quote!
As soon as data governance is thought of as ‘data governance you lose the room.
But as soon as you start to use business and commercial language related to data governance, you get people listening.
