What we will do and why

Definition and implementation of an overarching data governance framework, establishing best-practice discipline in the management and use of enterprise data.

Key deliverables

  • Data ownership and stewardship.
  • Metadata management.

Target outcomes

  • Accountability for data.
  • Improved control of data.
  • Reduced risk and increased value.

Measures of success

  • Owners and custodians in place for key data domains.
  • Faster delivery time for data triage decisions.
  • Improvement in data quality.
  • Data user satisfaction.

Stakeholder Engagement

For one department at a time we are engaging business stakeholders, data users and leaders to determine the correct framework, amending the assignment of roles based on feedback. In discussions with other Distributed Network Operators which have mature governance frameworks in place, we have avoided assigning ownership by system or asset type, focussing instead on categories of data.

Key milestones:

  • Ownership framework for top three domains (Dec 2023)
