Lunch and learn: How to drive continuous engagement and keep users coming back for more

“If you build it, they will come…” might work in the movies, but for data governance programs, it’s an entirely different ball game. Join Collibra Head of Global Practioners, Bobbi Caggianelli, as she equips you with practical strategies for continuous engagement of your data governance program that go beyond initial adoption. Learn the importance of meeting users where they are, why (over)communicating is key and how to identify champions to help drive program success and keep them coming back for more.
