Abstract

Organizations are progressively working towards becoming data driven. To achieve this, they need to cultivate a comprehensive culture grounded in behaviors, practices, and training, while also ensuring governance in data sharing, collection, policies, tools, and processes. Data Governance (DG) and Data Literacy (DL) offer essential resources to support this cultural shift. However, the implementation of DG and DL faces a variety of organizational challenges. This study aims to identify and analyze these challenges, with a focus on their intersections and implications for building a sustainable Data-Driven Culture (DDC). The challenges for this research were derived from a scoping review of the literature of case studies on the implementation of DG and DL, complemented by data collected through a completed web form and interviews with professionals involved in the DG initiatives. The analysis revealed a significant overlap in the challenges of DG and DL, highlighting the importance of integrated strategies. Organizations that prioritize and address these shared challenges will significantly accelerate the development of a robust DDC and enhance the value derived from data.
