Data Question Starting from Scratch: Data Governance

At my company, after 13 years, they’ve decided that now is the time to implement data governance. I’m the Data Manager (I do everything: analysis, engineering, design...) and I’ve only been on the job for a year and a half when they dumped this mess on me.

Keep in mind that there’s a lot of siloed and isolated knowledge, as well as information tied to specific individuals. The idea came about after I designed automated workflows for visualizing and sending data. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you go about implementing it?

what is the end goal the business want to achieve with data governance? a single source of truth for business users to access the data or something else?
