Defining data from a business perspective is a fundamental step in the data governance journey for any organization.  All too often, the data definition process breaks down when faced with business conflict and arguments. These are the data problems that feel too complex to tackle, and which the wider organization expects the data governance program to solve. As data governance professionals charged with managing this situation, we must navigate the tricky waters of legacy definitions, critical business processes, and conflicting ownership, as well as the emotional component of the specific conflict.  In the end, building the capability to solve data definition conflicts in a repeatable and structured way is critical to the long-term health of the data governance program and its ability to deliver maximum business benefit.  In this session, you will:

• Learn how to identify a data definition conflict
• Learn facilitation techniques to break the conflict log-jam
• Understand common causes and patterns for data definition conflicts
• Identify resolution patterns to address specific data patterns
