24,00 €
Data is a vital resource for organizations, as it supports business decisions and propels modernization efforts.
Data reuse refers to using existing data to gain new insights or answer new questions, rather than collecting new data. This practice is becoming increasingly important in today’s data-driven world, where the amount of data is growing at an unprecedented rate. Data stewardship enables access to and re-use of data for public benefit in a systematic, sustainable, and responsible way.
This course aims to establish a solid knowledge base for data stewardship. It delves into the basics of data stewardship, including the skills of successful stewards, their functions, obligations, essential principles and practices. Additionally, the course covers a fundamental understanding of data governance framework, policies, procedures, and its importance in every organization. In this course, a team of experts will guide you through four segments. After finishing, you’ll be equipped to apply your newly acquired skills and expand your learning journey in data stewardship, responsible data re-use, and effectively managing data.
