Happy New Year - 2025 Roundup

Happy New Year and hello, 2026!

I hope you’ve all had a wonderfully festive season and have emerged from your mince pie-induced comas ready to take 2026 by storm. 

As we go into the new year, it’s become a little tradition of mine to share my top 10 most popular blogs from the previous year. It’s always fascinating to see which topics resonated most with readers - sometimes it’s the posts I expected, other times it’s a surprise!

Not only is it fascinating for me, but I think it’s quite helpful for readers to see which blogs have been hot topics. 

So, without further ado, here are the top 10 reads from 2025:

1. Do You Need a Data Strategy and a Data Governance Strategy?

2. Data Governance on a Shoestring Budget

3. Who is Responsible for Drafting Data Definitions?

4. What is a Data Governance Roadmap?

5. Why Every Organisation Needs a Data Governance Council

6. Data Governance Interview with Jane Meharg

7. What Problems Do Data Governance Councils and Domain Forums Actually Solve?

8. 15 Ways I Can Transform Your Data Governance Journey

9. The Relationship Between Data Governance and Data Quality

10. The Backstory of Data Governance and My Path Alongside It

I hope this roundup gives you something useful to revisit, or even discover for the first time.
