Review: Just beginning, but enjoying it so far - not always the case with books on this subject. - This book has been an enjoyable read thus far - and I have to admit, I've found some Data Governance books a challenge to get into. I'm only on the third chapter, but I've begun recommending it to friends and coworkers. Early on, the author of Non-Invasive Data Governance emphasizes the points I paraphrase below, which really resonate with me. They address some of the misconceptions that have lead to resistance to data governance efforts, in the author's experience: - Data Governance need not be a huge challenge. That's why the author chose that title: it can be non-invasive, non-threatening, and non-interfering. - Data Governance is not a technical solution. There may or may not be a technical component to your solution, - It's people's behavior, not data, that is actually governed. Data Governance formalizes our behaviors with respect to data. We already do this informally - and often poorly, without reflection or collaborative planning. - Data Governance is an evolution, not a revolution. It can't be completed all at once. These very simple, straight-forward observations are typical of this book. If there's one thing that all Data Governance experts agree on, it's that successful Data Governance projects need management buy-in. The soundness of this guidance and tips for selling Data Governance to management drew me in from the start, as they demonstrate an understanding of how real DG projects work. Not all Business or MIS texts are as engaging as this one. It's also available as an Audible audiobook if that's your preferred means of consumption
Review: The one book every data governance pro should own - This is a must-have for anyone working in data governance. If you’re picking just one book on the topic, this should be the one—it covers everything that truly matters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just beginning, but enjoying it so far - not always the case with books on this subject.
*by R***F on May 19, 2021*

This book has been an enjoyable read thus far - and I have to admit, I've found some Data Governance books a challenge to get into. I'm only on the third chapter, but I've begun recommending it to friends and coworkers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The one book every data governance pro should own
*by P***P on April 11, 2025*

This is a must-have for anyone working in data governance. If you’re picking just one book on the topic, this should be the one—it covers everything that truly matters.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Starting Point
*by R***C on January 12, 2025*

This book is a perfect starting point for anyone who needs to implement data governance. It lacks specifics on how to implement; it’s mostly focused on best practices the author has accumulated over their career. I would recommend this to someone who needs to organize their thoughts but would search for industry best practices and artifacts when implementing
