Data Governance ROI
With Darwin the Data Dude

Are your execs like mine - always harping on ROI? Not willing to make exceptions for boundary-spanning efforts like Data Governance? Maybe it's time to open their minds to new definitions for ROI beyond "Return on Investment."

Here are some alternate definitions we at the Data Governance Institute have heard over the years. Do you have some more? I'd love it if you'd send them to me at contributions@datagovernance.com.
