Data Quality Management tracks data quality issues, efficiently organises corrective actions, tackle root causes, monitors the evolution etc.   The risk is that these activities remain limited to a reactive role. Data governance provides the framework to apply structural solutions, ensure coordination and efficiency of data quality efforts, organise communication between stakeholders and keep the initiatives aligned with the business priorities. In short, Data Governance brings the means to be proactive.
