Lab: Governing Data with a Data Catalog

Building Your Organization's Single Source of Truth

Experience the transformative impact of thoughtful data management in this collaborative workshop that simulates real organizational dynamics. Working in cross-functional teams, we'll implement a practical Data Catalog solution that addresses the documentation, discovery, and governance challenges faced by modern organizations. 

Learn how to ingest diverse datasets and their associated metadata into a unified system, creating the foundation for enterprise-wide data transparency. Master efficient data discovery workflows that help stakeholders quickly find relevant assets, saving hours of redundant work.

Define logical domains that align data with business functions, and document critical data assets with the context needed for confident decision-making. Develop standardized glossaries that eliminate terminology confusion across departments, and map complex data lineage to understand how information flows through your organization. 

This immersive, team-based experience provides practical skills for implementing the governance infrastructure necessary for responsible AI adoption, compliance adherence, and maximizing the strategic value of organizational data assets.
