• Consistency and Integrity Assurance: Implement data quality controls and monitoring mechanisms to maintain consistent and reliable data across systems, minimizing discrepancies and enhancing trust in data assets.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and data owners to align data governance practices with business needs, particularly for supply chain, finance, and procurement data.
• Continuous Improvement: Take an iterative, feedback-driven approach to governance practices, ensuring they evolve in response to business demands and technology advancements without introducing unnecessary complexity.
