Overview

Data is recognised a strategic asset for organisations. There is a growing need to manage the voluminous data an organisation is exposed to in order to use it for decision-making.

Of particular significance is process data, which consists of information about the execution of processes. Such information is used to uncover behaviour of processes within an organisation. This brings forth the significance of data governance. Data governance is the exercise of control and authority over management of data. Despite its significance, data governance remains an under-researched area.

This projects aims to explore the area of data governance, in particular process-data governance and identify key process-data governance patterns.

Research activities

Research activities include:

  • literature review of data governance
  • development of conceptual framework
  • identification of patterns.

Outcomes

The patterns can be used by organisations to implement process-data governance in a successful manner. It can hence enable them to use their process-data to obtain reliable insights.

Skills and experience

You should have:

  • problem solving skills
  • critical thinking skills.
