  • 1.  Seeking Sample Policy for Data Governance

    Posted 01-23-2025 06:12 PM

    We are in the process of developing a data governance policy before we establish a data governance and strategy committee.

    I would greatly appreciate any sample policies you are willing to share, as well as any insight you may have on: 

    1. What worked well in your governance efforts

    2. Challenges or pitfalls to avoid

    3. Key considerations for the structure of the committee  

    If you have any resources or advice, I'd love to connect for a brief call. Or if you prefer to share directly with me, I would be grateful. I will cite your work as we draft our governance policy.  Once I am done, I will be sure to share it back to anyone who would be interested. 

    Thank you in advance for your consideration as this will go a long way to help us get this important milestone off the ground. 

    Sincerely,

    Denise,

    Be sure to download your copy of the CIRIS institutional research guide which contains sample policies and a great deal of guidance around data governance and strategy, if you haven't already. https://ciris.maret.org/ciris-resources/community-resources/ciris-guide

    Thank you, Kevin. I have read the CIRIS Guide. I have one of the policies, but will definitely go and look for more now and re-read that chapter.
