The model has 6 levels, similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightsondata.com\/data-governance-maturity-models-oracle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oracle&#8217;s data governance maturity model<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightsondata.com\/data-governance-maturity-models-gartner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2008 Gartner EIM maturity model<\/a>, as well as 2 gaps. As you can see, these levels can be compared to the life stages of a human. TDWI actually refers to them as life-cycle stages. Here they are:<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_2151\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2151\" style=\"width: 1029px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2151\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.lightsondata.com\/tdwi-data-governance-maturity-model\/tdwi-maturity-model\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?fit=1029%2C379&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1029,379\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"tdwi data governance maturity model\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?fit=300%2C110&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?fit=1024%2C377&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2151 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?resize=1029%2C379&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"tdwi data governance maturity model\" width=\"1029\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?w=1029&amp;ssl=1 1029w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?resize=300%2C110&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?resize=1024%2C377&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lightsondata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/tdwi-maturity-model.jpg?resize=768%2C283&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2151\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TDWI life-cycle stages<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Level 1 &#8211; Prenatal: <\/strong>At this stage, there are mostly manual and ad-hoc solutions to a business or technology problem.<\/p>\r\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Level 2 &#8211; Infant:<\/strong>\u00a0Business requirements lead to a technology or practice and have a proof-of-concept<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Gulf:<\/strong> Organization needs to institutionalize the solution concepts<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Level 3 &#8211; Child:<\/strong> Expansion of the new technology or practice it committed to<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Level 4 &#8211; Teenager:<\/strong> Growth slows down as it occurs in a few departments or shortlist of IT systems<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Chasm:<\/strong> Enterprise adoption or solution re-architecture<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Level 5 &#8211; Adult:<\/strong> Continue maturing solution best practices and technology implementations<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Level 6 &#8211; Sage:<\/strong> Cross-departmental coordination and technology scalability<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>TDWI also has a list of 4 domains or data governance imperatives and they are action items. 2 fall under organizational imperative and 2 under technical imperatives.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Organizational Imperatives<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>1. Maintain a cross-functional team and process<\/p>\r\n<p>2 Align with data-intense business initiatives<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Technical Imperatives<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>3. Govern data usage via technical implementations and<\/p>\r\n<p>4. Automate data governance process via technical implementations<\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>The imperatives, as a group, imply a time sequence. For example, it\u2019s obvious that imperative 1 must create a cross-functional team before imperative 2 can align team goals with business initiatives. Less obvious is that imperative 3 should be governing IT systems before imperative 4 starts using IT systems to automate governance processes. Although dependencies like these determine an order for commencing the imperatives, the imperatives must eventually coexist and interact. In the TDWI data governance maturity model, each of the 4 data governance imperative goes through the 6 levels and 2 gaps outlined above.<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><strong>Takeaway: <\/strong>TDWI indicates that most organizations are in these middle levels, child and teenager, and that one requires a considerable effort to cross over the chasm and head into the adult and sage levels. As a note, you will be able to find the same life-cycle stages (or levels) being used in other types of models from TDWI such as Business Intelligence and Data Analytics, and Big Data so you will encounter this breakdown in other areas.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about data governance maturity model, A LOT MORE than what is covered in these articles, please checkout my
