Understand and leverage your data
While most organizations make thoughtful use of data to analyze performance and inform decisions, they don’t realize their data could be doing much more. BerryDunn’s data governance specialists provide the experience and knowledge necessary to inventory organizational data flows—and leverage their full potential.

Our process begins with a thorough inventory of organizational data flow and data assets, and engages stakeholders to establish data ownership and accountabilities. We have deep experience in complex organizational environments—aligning data across state agencies and their respective departments. We integrate best practice change management processes that ensure organizational buy-in, paving the way for successful data governance implementation and adoption.
