Welcome to the Data Quality and Data Governance Leadership Forum
Join the largest and most active community of data governance and data quality industry leaders, experts and practitioners across the globe.
-
The forum is hosted on LinkedIn and can be accessed by clicking here.
-
The main focus is DG and DQ, particularly leadership, strategy and execution, but aligned disciplines (e.g. MDM) are common.
We do not permit posts with links or promotions (e.g. webinars) or content of a promotional nature such as jobs and news updates.
The goal of your post should be to spark a debate or request for guidance.
Our aim is to continue developing the most valuable resource for data governance and data quality insight and support on the web today.
-
Our focus is on active leaders and practitioners who are delivering aspects of data governance and data quality.
The forum does not permit certain sales and marketing-focused roles (e.g. Business Development Representatives, Social Media Marketers, Lead/Demand Generation roles).
For companies looking to share details of their data governance or data quality training, products or services, they can apply to use of the marketplace feature.
-
The forum is recognised for its quality of discussion which is due to a lack of promotion. However, members do ask about DG/DQ products & services in the forum.
We are therefore launching a marketplace to allow easier discovery of DQ/DG related software, services and training.
