Course Description

MANAGE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, MANAGE YOUR DATA

There are many activities related to data in organisations.

Data Management (DM), Data Governance (DG), Data Stewardship, Data Science, and many others.

All of these are crucial activities for organisations, especially those trying to protect their data from cyberattacks, complying with regulation, or just trying to improve the quality of their analytics and reports.

Frequently, you can find information on one of these activities, but not all.

And on top of that, many courses use different definitions, so you may become confused.

In short, most courses on data don't fit the minimum requirements.

And this has consequences not just for your career, but yourself personally as well.

What happens when you don't have enough information (or in the adequate format)?

  • You'll become confused by the myriad data activities, the tools used, which roles and responsibilities each person has, and how they intersect;

  • You won't be able to properly identify what belongs to Data Management or what belongs to Data Governance - and what should not be done at all;

  • You'll become frustrated and irritated that you don't know why an operation works, or why it doesn't;

  • You won't be able to identify what a specific data tool should be used for, and when your current tools don't fit the job;

  • You won't know how to optimize your DM and DG operations in an organisation, resulting people not taking data seriously, or making obvious mistakes;

  • You won't be able to know what security controls to apply to what specific data classes, or how to protect data subjects;

So if you want to know everything about Data Management, Data Governance, Data Security and a lot more, what is my proposed solution?

This new course masterclass, of course!



A HIGH-QUALITY COURSE FOR HIGH-QUALITY DATA

Unlike other data management or data governance courses you'll find out there, this course is comprehensive and updated.

In other words, not only did I make sure that you'll find more topics (and more in-depth) than other courses you may find, but I also made sure to keep the information relevant to the types of data quality issues you'll find nowadays.

Data operations may seem complex by nature, but they rely on simple principles.

In this course, you'll learn about the essentials of how data are managed with activities such as profiling and remediation, as well as how data are governed with processes and policies.

Not only that, we'll dive deep into the activities, stakeholders, projects and resources that each discipline entails.

In this 15-hour+ masterclass, you'll find the following modules:

  • You'll learn about the essential Data Literacy and Considerations (what are the key principles, what are the different data disciplines, usual processes of each, the information lifecycle, and sophistication levels in an organisation);

  • You'll get to know about Data and Data Quality in specific (including the types of data that exist, the types of data quality issues and their financial impact, the Data Management activity process flow, as well as the data dimensions and tools used);

  • You'll learn about Data Governance (including how to define principles and policies, what are the specific activities such as data classification, data lineage tracking and more, as well as how to implement DG from scratch in an organisation);

  • You'll learn about Data Security, Privacy and Ethics (including what security and privacy controls to use to protect data both in physical and logical formats, how to ensure that data subjects are treated fairly by algorithms and across geographies, how to implement and measure data ethics, and more);

By the end of this course, you will know exactly how data are managed and how they are governed in an organisation, to a deep level, including the necessary tools, people, and activities.

The best of this masterclass? Inside you'll find all of these 4 modules - plus countless bonuses.

In short, even if you only fit one of the three profiles (only Data Management, only Data Governance, only Data Security/Ethics, or only "general" Data Quality knowledge), you will still have a course dedicated to it!

And naturally, if you are interested in multiple of these topics... this is the ultimate package for you.



THE PERFECT COURSE... FOR WHOM?

This course is targeted at different types of people.

Naturally, if you're a current or future data professional, you will find this course useful, as well as if you are any other professional or executive involved in a data project in your organisation.

But even if you're any other type of professional that aims to know more about how data work, you'll find the course useful.

More specifically, you're the ideal student for this course if:

  • You're someone who wants to know more about data management itself (how to profile datasets, how to parse/cleanse/standardise them, how to link and merge records, or how to enhance data);

  • You're someone who is interested in data governance (how to define rules and controls for data, how to institute policies, how to define required metadata, how to fill said metadata for different data sources, and many other activities);

  • You're some who is interested in data security and privacy, or in data ethics (that is, how to ensure that data subjects are protected in terms of data safety, but also in terms of actually being treated fairly by processes and algorithms);

  • You're someone who wants to know more about data quality in general (what are the usual types of problems, how do they create financial impact in organisations, what are the usual activities to improve DQ, and so on);



LET ME TELL YOU... EVERYTHING

Some people - including me - love to know what they're getting in a package.

And by this, I mean, EVERYTHING that is in the package.

So, here is a list of everything that this masterclass covers:

  • Data Literacy and Fundamentals

Instructor Details

Vasco Patrício

I have what could be considered an unconventional background as a coach. I don’t come from psychology or medicine. In fact, I come from tech. I created two tech startups that reached million-dollar valuations, backed by the MIT-Portugal IEI startup accelerator, afterwards becoming its Intelligence Lead.


After years of coaching and mentoring startup founders on talent management, emotional management, influence and persuasion, among other topics, I started being requested by executives and investors, like venture capitalists, with more complex, large-scale problems.


After years of doing executive work, I started specializing in coaching asset management professionals. With the signing of my first fund manager/CIO clients, I started adapting my performance and influence techniques for purposes such as talent management for PMs and analysts, fundraising from allocators, effective leading a team, and properly assessing talent for compensation/promotion/allocation increases.


I currently provide performance coaching and influence/persuasion coaching for executives and asset management professionals, mostly but not limited to purposes like managing people, leading and closing sales/capital commitments.

Some topics he introduces are presented very well- in such a basic manner that the concepts are clear and obvious. Later in the course however, things become a bit convoluted/ self contradicting, long winded, and dubious in terms of communication ethics. It unfortunately ends with a bit of an outdated strong arm/ dudebro flavor that had managed to be avoided until then, so that's an unfortunate note to end on.

By Anonymized User on 11/15/2024

I did not appreciate the section on getting leadership buy in by choosing times when they are distracted because it makes them more compliant. He does say if you are uncomfortable with that then knowing that they are more compliant when distracted is still good to know.

By JLB Bonilla on 5/30/2024

This course is great, informative, and full of super helpful and insightful information. This will be my go to when having questions about DG. I wish the course provides access to use cases, resources to read about industry and companies that have been successful implementing Data Governance program.

By S. Dekema on 12/12/2023

Well, one of the few really good courses on Udemy: thoroughly structured, well presented, going from elementary to advanced subjects, practical and relevant part about project pitching, reinforcing unit questions... A lot of good stuff going on. Even learned a few new angles on infosec and data privacy. But the combination of slow English and death-by-powerpoint makes for a less than enjoyable and trying experience, that I fixed partially by upping the video speed to 150%.

By Shoba Navaneethan on 5/29/2023

Good course, which gives end to end approach on Data Management, Governance and related topics. @Vasco Patrício, Very nice effort you had taken, it gives good breadth learning. I thought last 2 packages i had to skip, but it made me to sit and watch fully, it helps in overall handling perspective. Kudos! I have a suggestion. For videos 108 and 109, titles are interchanged. Please correct it.

By Amit Gupta on 5/18/2023

Instructor is very knowledgeable about the subject. Good content, But Its all theory. Would be more effective if some artifacts/ templates are added for DQ/ DM/ DG . This is the best content on the subject. What is missing is Tools which can do the work and templates for stats.

By Anonymized User on 4/2/2023

This is a truly fantastic course. I have been working in E2E data management for sometime , it has given me an opportunity to revise various key aspects that are critical for not just initiating a DG program but also sustaining and expanding it's reach. Course is very well designed in terms of relevance , engagement , practicality , clarity and overall spread of topics in DG and DM space. Quizzes have been structured very well after each topic. Topics that are aligned with the business goals, such as data governance, data quality, data security, and privacy were presented very well by avoiding unnecessary jargon or technical terms that may confuse learners.This course provides the succinct knowledge, skills, and tools to manage data effectively and efficiently, while maintaining the security and privacy of sensitive information. Thanks !!

By Vishal Arora on 1/16/2023

The course covers the great width of topics very well, however can be improved from a practical stand point of view. An end to end example of how someone executed data governance or management in a real world (case study) would have been extremely helpful. That too me is the biggest miss in what is otherwise a well researched effort. Also some of the modules towards the end seemed less relevant to a data generalist. The

By Anonymized User on 8/17/2022

This is a truly fantastic course. It has given me an insight in various key aspects that are critical for not just initiating a DG program but also sustaining and expanding it's reach. The topics are very nicely sequenced and information provided is "to the point" without a lot of "overburdening" of information. I would strongly recommend this course for those keen to understand, learn and have the necessary wholistic information to drive a DG program towards success.

By Ronaldo Felipe da Costa on 7/10/2022

Assim como o curso Fundamentos do PCI DSS, seu treinamento merece 5 estrelas, Vasco! O treinamento é claro, didático e rico em informações e exemplos práticos, além de fornecer amplo material para posterior revisão e estudos. Com certeza vou procurar outros cursos disponibilizados por você, pois cada minuto, ou slide, vale o tempo investido! E para os alunos daqui do Brasil que tem dúvidas sobre a dificuldade de acompanhar os treinamentos por serem em inglês, podem ficar tranquilos porque a pronúncia é clara e fácil de acompanhar, mesmo sem o uso de legendas.
