Kellerton can help your organisation with this increasingly recognised part of good corporate governance and risk management. A common first step is to implement a data governance framework which is essentially a matrix of data ownership and governance roles, covering the many and varied data related processes across the data lifecycle. Read about our recent work at Northumbria University in this case study. Kellerton can provide a baseline farmework to rapidly help assess maturity and develop a framework for your organisation. It covers 25 process areas as shown below:

The framework will likely lead to a number of new roles for existing and new staff as well a number of initiatves to improve data maturity. The kinds of work we have then helped our customers with is:

• Building a data asset register
• Data retention & archiving policy, process and automation
• Data quality initiatives
• Master data management processes and technology
• Unstuctured data management

This work is a complex mixture of business change and technology and we can provide help with all elements, including:

• Strategy development
• Policy and procedure writing
• Roles and responsibilities definition and organisational design
• Development of control, operational and automated processes in key areas
• Recommendation and implementation of technology and tools
• Planning and project management

We have already helped organisations with a completely joined up approach and excellent co-operation right across the board from risk and compliance and corporate governance functions to information technology and business intelligence teams.
