Data Governance
The key to becoming truly data-driven.
Everyone wants to be data-driven, but few succeed. The reason is almost always the same: you can’t trust the data. Reports show different numbers, no one knows which figure is correct, and valuable time is spent reconciling, validating, and correcting errors instead of acting on insights.
Data Governance is the fundamental discipline for creating order, trust, and accountability in your information management. For us at Fiwe, Data Governance is not a bureaucratic exercise, but the essential foundation for trusting your data – and thereby unlocking its full business value.
Define, own and classify your information
We help you implement data ownership principles and create a common glossary that defines and explains your most business-critical information.
Business value:
Clarity, accountability and a common, unambiguous truth for the entire organization.
Build trust and traceability
By documenting the origin of the data and establishing quality processes, your information becomes traceable and reliable. It becomes clear to everyone where the information comes from and how it has been handled, which builds trust.
Business value:
Increased trust in data throughout the organization, leading to safer and faster business decisions.
Fostering a responsible data culture
We help you communicate clear roles, responsibilities and processes for data management. By making high-quality data accessible and understandable to the right people, a culture in which data is treated as a strategic asset is fostered.
Business value:
A culture of data awareness that reduces operational risks and maximizes the value of your information.
Quality must be built at the source
A common mistake is thinking that data quality is something you can “clean up” later. Our experience, and our philosophy, is the opposite: true and sustainable data quality can only be achieved at the source, within the business processes where the data is created.
Trying to fix issues further down the chain is often both inefficient and costly. For every corrected data point, there is a real risk that a new one with the same issue will be created a week later.
Clear and pragmatic principles
That’s why our work focuses on establishing clear and pragmatic principles for how data is handled across your organisation.
This includes defining explicit data ownership, ensuring that someone is responsible for the accuracy of specific information. It includes creating a shared glossary so everyone agrees on what terms like “active customer” actually mean.
Most importantly, it involves taking control of the processes that generate your data. By ensuring quality at the moment information is created, you build an asset you can trust — and confidently act on.
Building a culture of data-driven work
But Rome wasn’t built in a day; it was built one house at a time. We don’t believe in designing a perfect, theoretical blueprint for tackling these challenges.
Instead, we believe success comes from pragmatically addressing real problems in the business, and using those learnings to build a culture of data-driven work — along with an understanding that how we handle data shapes what we can ultimately achieve with it.
