Data Gov­er­nance

The chal­lenge

Today, a large part of the inno­va­tions in the mobil­i­ty sec­tor are based on the use of dif­fer­ent data sources. It is pre­cise­ly such research and devel­op­ment projects relat­ing to dig­i­tal data-based appli­ca­tions for mobil­i­ty 4.0 that the BMVI’s mFUND research ini­tia­tive has been fund­ing since 2016. while some of the imple­ment­ing orga­ni­za­tions have decades of expe­ri­ence in the strate­gic han­dling of data, oth­ers see ensur­ing data qual­i­ty or data secu­ri­ty as a major challenge.

Our approach

We want to enable pub­lic author­i­ties and com­pa­nies to set up their own rules and struc­tures for respon­si­ble han­dling of the data they man­age and use — this is called self gov­er­nance. The con­cept for this is being devel­oped on the basis of the needs of the mFUND projects. Since some com­pa­nies and author­i­ties are already act­ing in accor­dance with data gov­er­nance, case stud­ies will be pre­pared as best prac­tices. Annu­al online sur­veys as well as inter­views with the mFUND projects are nec­es­sary for a con­tin­u­ous view on the needs. At the same time, we work in an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary team and con­sult other experts* at var­i­ous points, as data gov­er­nance touch­es on a wide range of topics.

The results

The project team devel­ops novel self-data gov­er­nance con­cepts for dif­fer­ent types of orga­ni­za­tions. The result­ing con­sult­ing model can be used in var­i­ous data-dri­ven indus­tries. Inter­im results are pub­lished and dis­cussed at var­i­ous events, at trade fairs, local meet­ings and via the data gov­er­nance reports.
