Montreal in Common: Data Governance Framework

The Data Governance Framework is one of the tools developed by the Data Governance Workstream as part of Montréal in Common. To learn more about our work, we invite you to visit the Data Governance Workstream webpage.

The objectives

Along with your strategic objectives, the Montréal in Common data governance framework is your ongoing compass for a more accountable, effective, and collaborative data governance that respects the Digital Data Charter Principles. It is therefore your reference for :

  • Understand the Digital Data Charter principles, adapted to the context of Montréal in Common, why you should operationalize them and the links (tensions, synergies, and requirements) between them.
  • Determine concrete actions (tactics) to operationalize these principles.
    • Understand which Charter Principles the tactics belonging to a theme are associated with;
    • Understand when tactics (belonging to a theme) apply in the digital data life cycle;
    • Learn about some of the enabling conditions that support consistent and sustained application of the tactics within a theme;
    • Discover the results and benefits that can be derived from facilitating the tactics belonging to a theme;
    • To obtain, as a complement to the tactics and as a starting point, useful resources and information that will allow you to better understand the tactics and better equip you for their implementation.

When to use it

At the beginning of your data governance journey, and then as many times as needed.
