Strong data governance is fundamental for any organization that works with data, as it ensures clear data-related roles and responsibilities as well as consistent and common processes for working with data. This includes establishing data standards and defining the processes to manage data. Data stewardship is making sure the standards are applied, and decisions around data are made and monitored at all levels. ISED’s Digital, Data and Services Oversight Committee (DDSOC) has been established to transform how we operate, make decisions and deliver services by leveraging our data assets and harnessing the power of digital technologies. Of particular interest to the CDO is the committee’s mandate to transform the management and use of the department’s data assets by formalizing governance mechanisms and processes for data. This includes committee members from across ISED championing the implementation of ISED’s Data Strategy, enabling data sharing to derive greater insight from data while addressing matters of privacy, security and ethics. | Strong data governance is fundamental for any organization that works with data, as it ensures clear data-related roles and responsibilities as well as consistent and common processes for working with data.
