Get your data governance initiative off to a flying start with 1:1 guidance over 6 months

Fast track designing and implementing your Data Governance Framework successfully

Rocket launching with a quote from someone who has worked with Nicola Askham on a 1:1 basis to promote the Data Governance Launch Pad

Are you embarking on a data governance initiative and wish you knew a whole lot more about it? You know there’s tonnes of advice out there on the internet but you just don’t have time to do all that research. What you have read or watched seems to give you conflicting advice. It’s also not about your industry, and it doesn’t map on to your organisation. You feel like you need months to prepare before you can even get started with data governance. But you are expected to get going with this right now! Thankfully, you don’t need to go on lots of courses and spend your evenings after work trying to read all the books.

All you need is the Data Governance Launch Pad.

  • You get 1:1 expert guidance tailored to your organisation

  • We’ll work through the initial stage of your data governance initiative together

  • You can ask me all your questions, and make sure you are on the right track from the start


Hi, I’m Nicola Askham, The Data Governance Coach

I've made it my mission to help as many people as possible be successful with data governance.

When you’re just starting off in data governance, there’s so much information out there, good and bad. I want to save you from making mistakes and making data governance harder than it has to be because it is a challenging thing to do. I will help you by giving you the dos and the don’ts. That’s what the Data Governance Launch Pad is all about.

I give you the training and key concepts you need. You get some hands-on support every month and me as a sounding board as you develop your data governance programme.

By the end of the 6 months, you will have the skills and knowledge to continue with your initiative in-house. There’s no need to feel alone doing data governance. Let’s work through the initial stages together.


I would highly recommend the Data Governance Launch Pad pack to anybody looking to create and realise a data governance framework in their organisation. Nicola’s experience of what works and what doesn’t work is invaluable, and her support through the Launch Pad package played a key role in the success and value we’re already seeing from our efforts. It’s just 9 months since we started working with Nicola, and our new data governance framework is already being adopted widely across the organisation, helping us to proactively manage our data.

Support for the first 6 months of your data governance initiative

Whether it’s your first day working in data governance for your organisation, or your initiative has been going for a few months, we’ll work together to get good foundations in place.

You will get:

  • Five licences for my online data governance course. This enables your Data Governance Team and colleagues, including Data Architects and Change Management Team, to get up to speed with key concepts and provides a clear pathway to follow

  • A Workshop Day each month where we work through what you need to focus on. This is tailored to you

  • A one-hour coaching call each month where we can talk through how you’re getting on. I will give you external validation of your approach and if you are stuck, I will guide you

  • An invitation to join two of my quarterly Data Governance Mastermind sessions to get additional support and to meet and learn from your peers in similar roles

If you need additional support during the 6 months, you can also get optional extras including: expert guest coaching sessions; Helping Hands where one of my associates will do some of the work for you; and email support for quick queries.

Nicola has been such a great mentor. She listens to what the issues are and her data governance domain knowledge and experience ensures that the advice and guidance she provides is always clear and helpful.
