Profile – Lisa Allen

The Environment Agency is a public sector organisation. This session will explain our experiences of implementing data governance.

We will outline how we structure our governance and monitor, measure and track progress through a data management maturity model. We will show the clear linkages between good data governance and direct benefits to the end users both within and outside the organisation. By getting governance right our data can deliver more than before.

This session will cover:

• Why data is important
• How we look after our data
• Benefits of looking after the data
• The impact of opening up our data to wider uses
• Top tips for any data governance programme
