About the Presentation
A Typical Scenario
Data Steward:
“We are chartered to work together with projects like yours so that projects define, integrate and use data in a common, consistent, and powerful way across the enterprise.”
Project Manager (perhaps for an agile project):
“We completely support enterprise wide data governance. However, we have very tight deadlines and budgets so we’ll work together as long as you don’t impact our deadline dates, tasks, resources, or budgets in any way.”
How would you respond to this?
This 1 hour DGPO and DATAVERSITY webinar provides a framework for managing conflict and is geared towards scenarios that inevitably arise in data governance and stewardship programs. Len Silverston shares a 5 step process that he has used to successfully to navigate the above and other ‘inevitable’ data governance conflict management scenarios.

- A 5 step approach to conflict management that the presenter has used successfully to resolved conflict in data governance
- Case studies and examples of how this framework was applied
