Governance is no longer a policy document; it is how decisions get made
Oman's national framework spans 13 data governance and management domains, alongside the Personal Data Protection Law and its Executive Regulations. At the same time, data quality and clear accountability have become prerequisites for trusted analytics and AI.
Five connected modules from understanding to decision
We preserve the approved core elements and deliver them through one organisational case and progressive group exercises rather than isolated lectures.
Concept, value and boundaries
Distinguish data governance from data management, security and privacy, then connect governance to trust, decisions and organisational performance.
Global standards and Oman's framework
A practical reading of DAMA-DMBOK and DCAM v3, connected to Oman's national data governance and management domains.
Operating model and roles
Who decides, who stewards, and how roles, policies, classification, quality, metadata and sharing fit together.
Privacy across the data lifecycle
Apply the Personal Data Protection Law and its Executive Regulations across collection, use, sharing, retention and disposal.
Readiness and the 90-day plan
Assess an organisational situation, prioritise gaps, and build an actionable step that supports trust, analytics and AI readiness.
Reference points: Oman's Regulatory Framework for National Data Governance and Management, the Personal Data Protection Law and its Executive Regulations, plus DAMA-DMBOK and DCAM v3 principles.

Questions you might have
Do I need a technical background?
No. The workshop is designed for a mix of leaders, specialists and business owners. Terms are explained plainly, while diverse participant experience strengthens the group work.
Is the workshop relevant to the private sector?
Yes. Oman's national framework is presented as the official government reference and a source of adaptable practices, while the Personal Data Protection Law and organisational principles apply across sectors as relevant.
Is this an advanced legal or technical course?
No. It is a foundation-to-action workshop for shared understanding and practical next steps, not legal advice or technical training on a specific platform.
Is there an exam?
There is no final exam. Short exercises and group feedback are used to check understanding and turn it into action.
What certificate do I receive?
A Taim Academy completion certificate for the Ministry of Labour-approved training programme, subject to the applicable attendance requirements.
