Data Governance & Management Organisation.

Distributed responsibility becomes a data-driven organisation with group-wide data domains, clear owners and one consistent governance framework.

Back to all engagements

The question

How does a DAX-listed group become truly data-driven when clear responsibilities, uniform processes and governance are missing?

Our answer

We built a scalable data governance & management organisation. Based on the core Data Mesh concept, we established group-wide data domains, defined domain boundaries and responsibilities in cross-functional workshops with business and IT, and anchored data-owner roles in the structure. In parallel, we standardised data management processes, documentation, approval and governance, and prepared the organisation for the new data architecture through enablement.

What we delivered

01 — DATA DOMAINS

Data Mesh as the core organisational element.

Group-wide domains: boundaries and responsibilities defined cross-functionally with business and IT.

02 — ROLES & OWNERSHIP

Data-owner roles, firmly anchored in the organisation.

Owners and supporting functions made concrete and integrated into the company structure.

03 — GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

Standardised, system-supported data processes.

Documentation, approval and governance unified, operationalised smoothly through enablement.

What it achieved

Tailor-made data management and governance framework implemented.
Cross-functional data domains established group-wide as the central organisational element.
System-supported processes for data documentation and approval introduced.
Data-owner roles successfully anchored across the entire organisation.
