Solutions Review editors profile the best available LightsOnData data governance training and online courses by expert George Firican.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"SROther than learning on the job – which is time-consuming, sometimes nerve-wracking, and not necessarily earning trust from our peers and bosses – there are very few resources out there for current or future data governance professionals. As companies aim to become more and more data-driven, the demand for data governance is increasing, as is the need for state-of-the-art data governance programs.<\/p>\n

Most of the content and courses to be found are theoretical, hard to follow, as well as not actionable, or practical. And sure, there is content out there about data governance maturity models, but the truth is that quite a bit is outdated and it is also hard to gather meaningful information and practical takeaways out of it all. You don’t want to waste time on trial and error, nor your energy and organization resources on outdated models or bad practices.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the editors at Solutions Review assembled this list of the best LightsOnData data governance training and online courses. Founder George Firican has expertise in data governance, information quality, business intelligence, and data management. As a result, we thought it would be worthwhile to profile the data governance training he offers given our role as the librarian of the data management space.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> The best LightsOnData data governance training and online courses are listed in series order.<\/p>\n
