Data lakes have helped organizations deal with the massive amounts of data generated daily. They are intended to serve as a central repository for raw data, a treasure trove for data scientists to analyze and gain actionable insight. They also serve as the foundation for many "self-service" analytics initiatives. While getting data into a lake is simple, getting insight and value from all of that data, however, has proven to be challenging for many organizations. A recent Forrester report found that 60%-73% of all enterprise data goes unused for analytics. This statistic exposes some of the harsh realities of data lakes.

This past summer, I had the opportunity to stay in a wide variety of hospitality establishments for both personal and professional travel, which, for me, has generated another fun way to look at data governance that I am excited to share. Because, let's face it, without good analogies, data governance on its own can be, well, kind of dry. Welcome to the Hotel Data Governance. Such a lovely place. (The tune is already in your head isn't it? You're welcome.)

Everyone wants to be part of a data-driven enterprise, and for good reason. Data analytics, when applied in a meaningful way, provides an enormous competitive advantage. There's a catch to this though that frequently gets overlooked amidst the glowing analyst projections and keynote speeches about a limitless future in which systems and machines do all the heavy lifting and thinking for businesses. Data—the right kind, in the right sequence, in the right context—doesn't just magically drop out of the cloud. It needs to be discovered, identified, transformed, and brought together for analysis, management, and eventual storage.
