Interactive roadmap

The first 30 days should create control, not complexity

Click each focus area to guide a working session with stakeholders and identify the first actions worth funding.

Selected focus

Ownership

Success signal: Critical assets have accountable owners and stewards.

Primary risk: Governance decisions stall because no one owns the outcome.

Immediate action: Assign owners to priority assets before expanding policies.

30-day plan

Execution sequence

  1. Week 1 — Inventory: List critical data assets, reports, platforms, owners, risks, and known pain points.
  2. Week 2 — Ownership: Assign data owners and stewards for priority assets. Confirm escalation contacts.
  3. Week 3 — Controls: Define minimum metadata, access, classification, and onboarding controls.
  4. Week 4 — Cadence: Launch monthly stewardship review, KPI reporting, and 90-day roadmap.
