Decision-Grade Data

How to build governance that people trust, leaders fund, and AI can rely on.

You don't know where to start with data governance — processes, roles, policies, data quality, all competing for priority. It isn't a priority for the organization, your team's knowledge is inconsistent, executives expect measurable returns, and you're working with limited resources. Decision-Grade Data is a practical guide that walks you through building governance from first principles to AI-readiness, using a four-stage framework: Owned, Defined, Controlled, Measured.

• 18 diagrams, workflows and charts to use directly with your team
• 12-month roadmap with seven decision gates
• The Owned → Defined → Controlled → Measured framework
• Written for teams with inconsistent governance knowledge and limited resources
