Though I agree that more companies should be growing their Data Governance and MDM, I am worried that this is becoming an industry in its own right within enterprises. Far too often, you get "business as usual" and, over and above that, Data Governance and MDM. Data Governance and MDM are only effective when they are achieved as a fully integral part of the day-to-day Business Functions of the enterprise. Perhaps it is the fact that these are immature disciplines that causes this. Such separation often happened in the early days of Quality Assurance. At that time, many executives who saw themselves as quality "experts" used to do their ordinary job Monday to Thursday and spend all day Friday on "quality" - I actually heard many boast that they did this! But, as the whole world now knows, if you spend your time working on quality, you have not got it! So, if you are committed to Data Governance and MDM, instead of working on them, make sure that all that is required to achieve them is is built into the day-to-day functions of the business. Regards John Hi Dave, Great article.

I really like your analysis of the importance of a formal business plan. I agree, data governance is not a one time investment, both in time and resources. We have a community for IM professionals (www.openmethodology.org) and have bookmarked this post for our users. Look forward to reading your work in the future. Great post Dave.
