A practical approach to Data Governance
One of the biggest challenges with Data Governance is knowing where to even start.

You might have tried sharing some of this theory with your senior stakeholders but you are struggling to articulate what it means to them.
Learn exactly what Data Governance is and how to implement it successfully.
This training consists of two days and you are welcome to join either, or both days. The first day is my Getting Started in Data Governance course, which simplifies the concepts you need to understand to design and implement a Data Governance Framework. You can download the full course curriculum here.
The second day is a Data Governance Clinic. This is a workshop format where attendees get the opportunity to share the challenges they are experiencing with their Data Governance initiatives, get pragmatic solutions, share knowledge, insight and network with others in a similar situation.
Who this training is for:
The course is ideal for Data Governance Managers and their teams who:
wonder how to get their Data Governance initiative started,
want to validate what they have done so far, or
are experiencing challenges with their Data Governance initiative.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION
Laura studied law at university and spent over 20 years at Virgin Atlantic which allowed her to indulge her passion for reading whilst travelling.
On deciding to pursue a career in publishing, Laura joined the Darley Anderson Agency where she worked across the Women’s Fiction list, reading submissions, handling contracts and supporting authors on their path to publication and beyond.
She co-founded Greenstone Literary with Tanera Simons in 2024 and is excited to build a list of authors.
Laura is looking for commercial crime, thriller, suspense, bookclub, historical and romance fiction as well as select non-fiction.
Above everything she wants to be entertained. Laura is looking for a book you can’t wait to talk to someone about, in the same way as a new film or the latest release on Netflix. A book that engrosses her from the first page to the last, desperate for someone she knows to read so they can discuss as soon as possible.
It will always be an original hook that draws Laura in, a whole concept that can be summed up in one line that immediately stops her in my tracks and makes her think.
Character and voice is also crucial. Laura is a huge fan of Mick Herron’s Jackson Lamb, Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club cast and Lynda La Plante’s Jane Tennison.
