Blank-Page, Classification & Changed-Fact Drills
Eight five-minute reconstructions
- B1 — Full mental skeleton: definition/drivers → principles → organization/models/stewardship → policies/valuation → 17 activities → tools → implementation/culture.
- B2 — Authority map: enterprise executive bodies down to operational stewards; mark what kind of issue each layer resolves.
- B3 — Implementation story: business problem → readiness/discovery → strategy/framework → change → implementation → issues/compliance → standards/glossary/architecture/valuation → embedding.
- B4 — Data-as-asset story: data-centric principles → Owner/Steward accountability → policy/standards → valuation → quality/risk → metrics.
- B5 — Three-way compare: DG vs Data Management vs IT Governance.
- B6 — Role map: all governance bodies and steward roles on one page.
- B7 — Figure 20: reconstruct the narrowing escalation pattern and explain why approximate percentages matter conceptually.
- B8 — Teach Chapter 3: explain the chapter to a new analyst for five minutes without naming a tool until the final minute.
Classification drill
Write the most precise term before checking the key.
| ID | Situation |
|---|---|
| C1 | Highest executive group releases funding for DG work. |
| C2 | Senior managers handle policies, initiatives and escalations. |
| C3 | Ongoing enterprise definitions/standards coordination. |
| C4 | Business SME controls/defines a subset of data. |
| C5 | Business person accountable for domain decisions. |
| C6 | One governance organization over all subject areas. |
| C7 | Same governance model repeated in each unit. |
| C8 | Central DG coordinates multiple units for consistent definitions. |
| C9 | Document says what must/must not happen enterprise-wide. |
| C10 | Mandatory measurable rule for conformance. |
| C11 | Exact documented steps for an activity. |
| C12 | Assessment asks whether teams can collaborate across functions. |
| C13 | Work identifies which current data problems governance must solve. |
| C14 | Artifact says who is accountable/how bodies interact. |
| C15 | Artifact sequences rollout timeframes. |
| C16 | Issue remains unresolved after DGC review and is strategic. |
Compression teach-back
- 5 minutes: definition, drivers, principles, models, bodies, stewardship, activity logic, escalation, tools boundary, sustainability.
- 2 minutes: only major decision distinctions and implementation logic.
- 30 seconds: one professional rule for Governance.
Changed-fact discrimination
- Repeated unit models gain a new enterprise team actively coordinating shared definitions. Which model now fits?
- Business Steward becomes final accountable business decision maker for the domain. Which role clue changed?
- DGC writes mandatory field-format rules but no execution steps. Policy, Standard or Procedure?
- Readiness study stops asking “can we change?” and starts asking “which DQ failures create financial risk?” Which activity family leads now?
- Tactical issue is solvable by Stewardship Team. Should it go to Steering? Why not?
- Platform is configured perfectly, but nobody has decision rights/accountability. What core capability is missing?
