DG Dashboard & Management Reporting
You Cannot Steer What Leadership Cannot See.
A data governance program produces a lot of activity and a lot of value that is not easily visible. We build the dashboards and reporting that turn owners, stewards, processes and catalogues into a clear management view across every unit, one that demonstrates the value for the organization.

Who we work with
Why It Matters
Governance Needs a Number, Not a Feeling.
Reporting is what makes governance manageable. It serves two very different audiences at once, and the same data answers both.
For the local unit
The teams doing the work finally see where they stand and what is expected.
- Clarity on targets, KPIs and internal structures
- A way to measure maturity progress over time
- Evidence to justify demands for resources and capacity
For the central organization
The group office gets one comparable view across many decentralized units.
- Track progress across units and reporting lines
- Compare decentralized organizations on the same scale
- Pair it with the maturity assessment to show progress and gaps

The Rhythm
A Reporting and Escalation Stream That Runs Itself.
Numbers only steer when they arrive on a schedule. We set the cadence so the right level sees the right thing at the right time.
Monthly
Unit reporting
Decentralized units report their KPIs up to the central team, so nothing drifts unseen between reviews.
Quarterly
Governance committee
A committee or board reviews the dashboard and decides on the prioritized issues that need escalation.
Half-year & annual
Progress review
A deeper review of progress against the target state, feeding next year's priorities and resourcing.
