Data Governance Foundations for Boards

The AICD has collaborated with the Melbourne Business School's Centre for Business Analytics and leading law firm Allens to publish a data governance resource specifically for Australian directors.

Data has become a critical asset for every organisation across every sector of the Australian economy. The ability to effectively govern, manage, leverage and protect data increasingly shapes strategic success and organisational resilience. Boards have an important role to play as organisations navigate this opportunity and complex challenge.

Data Governance Foundations for Boards details better practice to assist boards in overseeing the multifaceted nature of data governance, recognising that it requires directors to balance innovation and strategic vision with risk management and ethical considerations. Accompanying the publication is a Snapshot and Checklist for SME and NFP directors and case studies from CAR Group, Coles Group and Ramsay Health Care.

Access the resource here.
