Tips• Assign someone to focus on Data
Governance• P-20 DG is separate from sector DG• When someone tells you no, have them
show you why• Include the lawyers early but make sure
you have specific examples• Create committees of problem-solvers
early so they are familiar with each other when a problem arises
