When your organization decides to start leveraging its data as an asset, the first thing you should do is build a data quality team. This team of people will be responsible for the quality of the data and the support of data quality activities and initiatives company-wide.
A lot of people traditionally think of data quality as a technical person’s concern. In reality, business users have a major part to play on the data quality team.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to building a data quality team, so explore what will work best for your organization’s culture and needs. Building a strong team that is integrated into the business is the first step in rolling out a broader data governance strategy, which includes people, processes, and technologies that will help your organization proactively manage its data quality.
