Data Governance in Retail: Either You’re Steering the Ship or You’re Just Rearranging Deck Chairs Here’s the problem with “data governance” for most retailers—it sounds like something you’d talk about right before a two-hour nap. “Let’s ensure our metadata repository is compliant and robust.” Yeah, lemme just put my head through the drywall now.
