An A-Z of Managing Governance – Why There Should Be an Effective Good Governance Strategy in Place in Your Organization

September 15, 11:40 AM EDT

Governance underpins your organisation’s DAM and is the critical process that holds your DAM together. Adherence to governance regulations must be a priority as more and more organisations become truly data driven.

Governance is not an option to be ignored. Maintaining the value of your data is of vital importance, and Governance provides the framework that ensures programme goals are met – both during DAM implementation and ever after.

To be effective, governance must:

  • Be considered as a ‘holistic corporate objective’.
  • Establish policies, procedures and training for the management of data across the organization.
  • Reach all levels of the organisation.
  • Ensure that your metadata stays relevant and addresses changing business needs, user needs, and the use of language.

The session is moderated by John Horodyski, Executive Director, Insights and Analytics at Salt Flats. It will be both highly informative and engaging, covering the who, what, how and why of Governance. Three accelerated case studies of ‘Governance in action’ will be presented. After each presentation the panelists will discuss the key drivers at play, including:

  • What is involved with Governance, what it might look like and what it should not.
  • What advantages good Governance, communications, transparency, and accountability deliver – and the other factors involved in optimizing performance.

The panelists will go on to discuss:

  • Governance challenges we all have faced. 
  • Success stories.
  • Best practices and good advice.

Before attending a HS DAM event, I never knew the true impact or importance of DAM. For the first time it felt like I wasn't alone, but part of something so much greater. I left inspired and motivated to take what I had learned and apply it our DAM system. I look forward to the event every year!

The Henry Stewart DAM NY conference did not disappoint. The breadth of topics and experiences covered were amazing.  I could have used three of me to cover all the sessions I was interested in attending!
