The Four Biggest Challenges to Data Governance 🛑

Data governance is not just about technology; it is also about people and processes.
Many organizations struggle with adoption and change management.
Here are the four biggest challenges:

1. Fragmentation: Use of multiple tools creates blind spots and makes consistent data quality, security and compliance difficult.
2. Labor-intensive tasks: Manual processes such as data classification, metadata management and compliance reporting take a lot of time.
3. Centralized governance: This can stifle innovation, leading to shadow IT, where teams use unauthorized tools.
4. Technical interfaces: Poor user experience can limit participation, keeping governance central to the IT department.
