Data Stewardship for Utility Companies
Data Stewardship for Utility Companies
Data stewardship incorporates all the practices to ensure that data is accessible, usable, protected, and trustworthy. Data stewards oversee the processes that guide effective controls and uses of data assets. In this data-driven age, the activities of active data stewardship are becoming increasingly important. Rapid expansion of data volumes, data variety, number of users, and number of use cases brings corresponding growth of data opportunities and data risks. Data stewardship is a core competency and an essential data governance capability for modern, data-driven organizations. It is central to value creation and risk management activities with data. Effective data stewardship requires the right knowledge and skills for data stewardship program management, data steward collaboration, and day-to-day data management practices. Discussions based on the utility industry are provided throughout the course to explore common challenges. Examples for break-out sessions will be selected from areas such as regulatory compliance, customer billing, asset management or grid operations.

From Our Students
“We were in the first phase of our Data Governance project when we attended the “Modernizing Data Governance for Utility Companies” training course. We left the course with ideas and perspectives that had us rethinking how to best proceed in our journey toward a successful and sustainable Data Governance program. Pausing to address these issues early on is expected to result in significant time and cost savings and better position us to convert our siloed data into a valuable enterprise asset. And, as always, the conversations with colleagues from other utilities and hearing their challenges, successes, and lessons learned was invaluable.”
Grant County PUD
“The UAI 'Modernizing Data Governance for Utility Companies' course is informative, and I found it productive and very relevant to my role.”
“This course was very informative. The content of the class will help me summarize and communicate data governance concepts at my company.”
“This was a great training for anyone interested in making an impact to Data Governance at their company. I wish more IT related folks took this class vs. utility and analytics folks. I have a piece of the Data Governance pie, but not all of it. I now feel like I can articulate what Data Governance is much better and what our strengths / weaknesses are around Data Governance at my company. I will be sending other folks to this session in the future."
“The UAI Data Governance training is of great value, and I gained some beneficial insight.”
Systems and Technology, Gwinnett County Governance, Department of Water Resources
“Mark is a good instructor and the content was well presented. Covered some familiar ground but from new perspectives and also provided plenty of new food for thought and guidance as we put forward our own data governance program. The sample framework and roadmap will be very helpful. Overall an insightful and useful course. Thanks."
