Data Governance
We ensure that every part of your organisation collaborates effectively, operating within well-defined structures and clearly assigned roles, responsibilities, and processes. Our approach allows you to manage and govern data with the same diligence you apply to other crucial assets like finance and personnel.
To support and advance your Data Governance initiative, we create and implement metadata management solutions that include data catalogues, data dictionaries, data lineage, and business glossaries. These solutions are tailored for effective collaboration and long-lasting consistency throughout all facets of data management.
We also develop thorough data governance artefacts, such as policies, standards, and procedures, to steer your organisation in managing data proficiently. Additionally, we offer training programmes aimed at fostering a culture of data governance at every level of your organisation, enhancing awareness and accountability.
Non-Invasive Data Governance
In association with KIK Consulting.
Key aspects of this approach include:
Info.BluePrint proudly serves as the exclusive South African partner of KIK Consulting, founded by Robert (Bob) Seiner, who has introduced a transformative approach to data governance known as “Non-Invasive Data Governance™” (NIDG). As one of the few NIDG partners worldwide, we in Southern Africa are in a unique position to benefit from Bob and KIK’s extensive expertise and insights, acquired over more than twenty years of helping organizations successfully implement Non-Invasive Data Governance programs throughout their enterprises.
The Non-Invasive Data Governance approach ensures that data governance doesn’t feel like an external imposition but rather like an intrinsic part of everyday operations, promoting a culture of shared responsibility for data quality, security, and compliance, without the need for heavy-handed enforcement.
Leveraging Existing Structures
The approach enhances existing data management practices instead of imposing new processes. It acknowledges the existing data governance within organisations and seeks to build on it.
Focus on Stewardship
It highlights the importance of data stewards, who are often those already working with the data. It formalises their roles and responsibilities, empowering them to ensure data quality, security, and value.
Incremental Implementation
It advocates for a phased approach, focusing on critical data elements first, rather than attempting to govern everything at once.
Emphasis on Communication
It stresses the importance of clear communication and collaboration across the organisation to foster a culture of data responsibility.
Proactive Control
It promotes a proactive approach to data governance, aiming to prevent data issues before they occur.

Through tailored strategies and innovative technologies, we not only enhance operational efficiency but also nurture a forward-thinking mindset that embraces change and continuous improvement.
