G30 Data governance and management between municipal departments
Data Governance plays an important role in all levels of a municipality. Therefore, to realise an efficient data governance between municipal departments the following issues should be addressed for urban data objects.
- The realisation of the strategy should be monitored regularly and in a systematic way (e.g.,use data and process indicators).
- Operative data management roles should be strengthened and highly-ranked civil servants should be added as data owners.
- A city data model, corresponding business rules for data objects, and a glossary containingimportant definitions of urban data objects should be implemented.
- In order to create awareness of interdepartmental dependencies, it is necessary to increase the transparency regarding internal procedures and policies adopted by the departments.
UNaLab Stories:
Holistic approach –EindhovenRecognising the obstacles that working in silos poses to data sharing and governance, the municipality recently has established a roundtable dialogue with periodic meetings to discuss how to implement a holistic approach towards using, sharing and managingdata. A facilitator, independent from all departments, and representatives from all departments including policy advisors and data scientists attend these meetings. Although it is a new procedure, the aim is that data processes areintegrated and that data aremanaged in a smart way.
