Why This Isn’t Just Another White Paper & Governance Partnership: Change Management Powered Data Governance
If you are trying to figure out how to make data governance stick without creating more resistance than results, this white paper is a must-read, and the news of a new partnership is something you might want to know about.
Change Management Powered Data Governance: How to Scale NIDG (Non-Invasive Data Governance) with Centers of Excellence and Change That Sticks – is not your average governance declaration – it’s a blueprint for embedding governance into the way your organization actually works, without disrupting your people, their workflows, or your momentum.
Written by Rania Waseef of Innova CoE and Robert S. Seiner of KIK Consulting, this paper lays out a non-invasive, role-aware, and most importantly people-first approach to scaling data governance through a Center of Excellence and a powerful, grounded change model.
The paper goes far beyond theory. It shows you how to operationalize a governance culture by enabling ownership instead of enforcing control, aligning stewardship with real accountabilities, and activating champions at every level of your organization. It highlights why traditional Data Governance Offices are failing, and how a modern CoE can flip the script from policy enforcement to operational enablement. And it doesn’t shy away from the hard parts – it provides clear guidance for how to start where you are, build momentum through role-based engagement, and scale with strategic change embedded every step of the way.
If you’re leading data strategy, enabling AI, or simply looking to build trust in your data, this white paper is your roadmap. It speaks to executives, practitioners, and change leaders who are tired of one-size-fits-all governance and ready for something more effective, more inclusive, and more sustainable. Whether you’re starting from scratch or re-igniting a stalled initiative, this white paper will give you the structure, language, and tools to deliver governance that not only works – but lasts. Download it now and see how governance can become the way your organization works, not just another thing it has to do.
