Master Data Management (MDM) initiatives often fail not because of one big issue, but due to a series of common, avoidable mistakes that many organizations make without realizing:

• Unclear objectives
  
  

• Weak data governance
  
  

• Low user adoption
  
  

• Poor data quality practices
  
  

• Ineffective change management
  
  

• Choosing the wrong technology
  
  

Even the most well-planned MDM programs can be derailed by these pitfalls—leading to delays, increased costs, and unreliable, fragmented data.
