It defines key terms such as data governance, data stewardship, metadata, and data assets, then outlines which types of assets typically require governance, including databases, spreadsheets, APIs, reports, catalogs, CRM fields, logs, and document and multimedia files. The session details how the inventory establishes accountability, improves risk management and regulatory compliance, supports data quality, and enables scalable decision-making by linking each asset to owners and stewards.","Non-Invasive Data Governance® is a registered trademark of Robert S.
