Why This Accelerator
Moves the Needle

Most data governance programmes fail not because the framework was wrong, but because nobody stood it up. Governance councils were designed but never convened. Stewardship roles were defined but never filled. Policies were written but never enforced. The operating model — the actual day-to-day working of governance — was never built.

Our Data Operating Model Framework provides the complete operating infrastructure for a functioning data governance capability — councils, roles, policies, KPIs, meeting cadences, issue workflows, and tooling guidance — all pre-designed and ready to configure for your organisation.

It is designed to be proportionate. A regional bank and a large conglomerate need different governance operating models. The framework scales to your context — covering the essentials without creating governance bureaucracy that nobody has time to maintain.

Complete Operating Infrastructure
Councils, roles, policies, KPIs, and cadences — all pre-designed. Your governance programme has a complete operating model on day one, not 12 months into a design exercise.
Embedded in 90 Days
The DOM framework is designed to be operational within 90 days — with CALIGO optionally operating it as a managed service until your internal team is self-sufficient.
Proportionate by Design
Scales from a lean governance function for a single-country operation to a full data council hierarchy for a large, multi-entity organisation — without over-engineering.
20+ Governance KPIs Built In
A pre-defined KPI framework — data quality scores, issue resolution rates, policy compliance, stewardship coverage — gives leadership real visibility into governance performance from day one.

Implementation

From Accelerator
to Production.

The accelerator is the starting point, not a finished product. CALIGO adapts it to your source systems, technology stack, and regulatory requirements — dramatically compressing the design and build phases.

01
Organisational Assessment
We assess your current governance structures, existing roles, and stakeholder landscape — designing the DOM to fit your organisation's complexity and culture, not a generic template.
02
Council & Role Design
Governance councils and stewardship roles are designed, documented, and mapped to existing organisational positions — minimising new headcount requirements.
03
Policy & KPI Configuration
The 12 policy templates and 20+ KPI definitions are configured for your context — regulatory obligations, data domains, and maturity level.
04
Tool & Process Integration
Issue management workflows, reporting cadences, and KPI dashboards are integrated with your existing tooling — whether ServiceNow, Jira, Collibra, or Microsoft Purview.
05
Embedment & Activation
CALIGO facilitates the first council sessions, runs the first governance reporting cycle, and optionally operates the DOM as a managed service through the embedment period.
