Data governance involves the supervision, monitoring, and control of an organization's data assets. Its main concerns are data quality, appropriateness, and cost-effectiveness of the controls. It is difficult because organizations typically have a lot of old data, which is of unknown quality.

1. Imagine that you must collect and assess the quality and appropriateness of data held by a large, multi-national organization. What steps you would take? Include how you would address network, security, and ethical considerations when deciding what data to collect from the company.

2. This is not a job you can do on your own! Explain the kinds of support you'll need and how you will obtain resources and cooperation.
