About the Book

Grounded Governance: A Practical Guide to Implementing Data Governance That Works distils decades of delivery into a step-by-step playbook for building trustworthy, business-ready data. You’ll get the essentials—operating models, RACI/ownership, enforceable policy and control libraries, data quality rules and KPIs, lineage patterns you can audit, and adoption tactics that stick. Every chapter is built for execution, with templates and scenarios aligned to CDMP expectations and today’s AI realities. Whether you’re starting from scratch or rebooting a stalled programme, this book shows you how to make governance measurable, sustainable, and valued.

And this is just the beginning. Forthcoming titles will expand on AI Data Governance, AI Data Quality, Metadata & Lineage at Scale, Master Data (MDM), and Regulatory Playbooks.
