- 3. Non-Invasive Data Governance™
Abstract
• Organizations all govern data. The truth is that some organizations govern data
more formally than others. Most organizations will state that their existing levels of
governance are very informal, inefficient and even ineffective. Imagine if there was
a way to move your organization from informal to formal governance in a few
simple steps. Well … there is. This approach is called Non-Invasive Data
Governance™ and the approach is practiced and shared by Bob Seiner.
• Join Bob Seiner and DATAVERSITY for the third in a series of Data Governance
webinars titled “Real World Data Governance” where Bob shares key features and
valuable components of Non-Invasive Data Governance programs. Bob will share
examples of roles and responsibilities, how to apply governance to existing
processes, Identifying rather than assigning data stewards, other aspects of
how organizations have stayed non-threatening and non-invasive in their
approach to Data Governance.

- 5. Non-Invasive Data Governance™
How Can Governance Be Non-Invasive?
• What is meant by Non-Invasive Data Governance™?:
With Data Governance in General:
– Many organizations view Data Governance as being over-and-above normal
work efforts and threatening to the existing work culture of the organization.
It does not have to be that way.
– Many organizations have a difficult time getting people to adopt Data
Governance best practices because of a common belief that Data Governance is
about command-and-control.
It does not have to be that way.
– While I firmly state that Data Governance is “the execution and enforcement of
authority over the management of data”, nowhere in that definition does it say
that Data Governance has to be invasive or threatening to the work, people and
culture of the organization.
It does not have to be that way.

How Can Governance Be Non-Invasive?
• What is meant by Non-Invasive Data Governance™?:
With Non-Invasive Data Governance™:
– Data steward responsibilities are identified and recognized, formalized and
engaged according to their existing responsibility rather than being assigned or
handed to people as more work.
– The governance of data is applied to existing policies, standard operating
procedures, practices, and methodologies … rather than being introduced or
emphasized as new processes or methods.
– The governance of data augments and supports all data integration, risk
management, business intelligence and master data management activities
rather than imposing inconsistent rigor to these initiatives.

How Can Governance Be Non-Invasive?
• What is meant by Non-Invasive Data Governance™?:
With Non-Invasive Data Governance™:
– Specific attention is paid to assuring senior management’s understanding of a
practical and non-threatening yet effective approach to governing data that will
be taken to mediate ownership and promote stewarding of data as a cross-
organization asset, rather than the traditional method of “you will do this”.
– Best practices and key concepts of the non-threatening approach are
communicated effectively, compared to existing practices to identify and
leverage strengths and enable the ability to address opportunities to improve.

Messages for Management
• We are already governing data (but we are doing it informally).
• We can formalize how we govern data by putting
structure around what we are presently doing.
• We CAN Improve:
– How We Manage Data Risk & Secure Data
– Data Quality & Provide Quality Assurance
– Coordination & Cooperation Around Data
– Communications Around Data
• We DO NOT Have to Spend A Lot of Money.
In fact … Data Governance only costs the time we put into it.
• We need structure. We should consider a Non-Invasive approach.

Key Concepts
• Concepts of Non-Invasive Data Governance™
– Do Not give employees new job titles and recognize that the majority of their
present work will not change.
– Data Stewards are Not hired. Data Stewards Are identified & engaged according
to their present responsibilities.
– A Data Steward is Not a position. Becoming a Data Steward Is an accountability
for the management of a subset of enterprise data.
– The Data Stewardship process will Not create new tasks or time commitments but
instead will ensure that the appropriate Data Stewards are identified, engaged in
each data related task.
