About Course

Data Management capabilities do not remain effective automatically as business priorities, technologies, and operating conditions change. Organizations need to know both where their capabilities should develop and how well they perform in practice. Maturity management provides a structured view of capability strengths, gaps, and improvement priorities, while performance management shows what is happening during execution. This course demonstrates how both can be designed as Data Management governance capabilities and used together to support better improvement decisions. You will examine their purpose, outputs, inputs, processes, roles, tools, and financial enablers across organizational levels. You will also see how your own role contributes to maturity and performance measurement and to the actions that follow.

Course Content

Strategic Alignment between strategies and use cases
A Data Management or AI initiative is much easier to justify when you can show exactly how it supports the business strategy. This topic explains how business, Data Management, and AI strategies connect to business, Data Management, and AI use cases. You will follow the logic from strategic direction to use cases, business domains, stakeholders, and value. You will then see why strategically aligned use cases still need to be considered as one portfolio rather than as separate initiative lists. The focus moves to priorities, dependencies, overlaps, available resources, and the value different combinations of use cases can create. The lessons and quizzes will help you check that you can recognize these relationships and apply the logic consistently.
