The concepts of both Data Governance and Agile Development continue to be applied in many organizations with differing levels of success. Nobody is surprised that Data Governance and Agile Methods can be at odds with each other. Perhaps they can partner to demonstrate success in both disciplines. Can Data Governance be applied to agile projects? Can Data Governance be applied in an agile way? These are two fascinating questions.
Join Robert S. Seiner for this RWDG Webinar to explore ideas for how to stay Agile in our Data Governance efforts and how to Govern Agile efforts. The subject of Agile always seems to spark interest from skeptics and believers alike. This session focuses on discovering ways of bridging the gap.
This session will cover:
Data Governance and Agile Roles & Responsibilities
Applying Governance to Agile Projects
Being Agile with our Governance Requirements
Can the two coexist? “Selling” Agile to Governance People and the other way around
Real-World Data Governance: Governing Customer Data – Is There a Difference?DATAVERSITY
Many organizations select a specific domain or subject area of data to focus on as they kick off their data governance initiative. More often than not, it seems that subject area is Customer data. It is common practice these days for organizations to become customer-centric through being data-centric. Perhaps that is the case with your organization.
Real-World Data Governance: Agile Data Governance - The Truth Be ToldDATAVERSITY
The concepts of Agile Software Development have been applied in many ways in many organizations with differing levels of success. We should not be surprised that Agile is being used in terms of Data Governance. This application calls into question some of the key concepts of being Agile and Governing Data that are well worth discussing.
Join Bob Seiner and a Special Guest in this installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series to explore the idea of staying Agile in our Data Governance efforts and how to Govern Agile efforts.

Data Centric Development: Supercharge your web & mobile application developmentBright North
Many businesses are finding that their web and mobile applications aren’t providing the long-term solution they were hoping for. As consumers provide more and more useful data, these digital platforms don’t allow businesses to take advantage of the huge opportunities that data presents.
Our new whitepaper details the practical steps you can take to supercharge your web and mobile application development and stay ahead of the data revolution.
Slides: Bridging the Data Disconnect – Trends in Global Data ManagementDATAVERSITY
Maintaining a competitive edge in today’s digital landscape hinges on the ability to leverage accurate and reliable data to make informed and strategic business decisions. But transforming data from liability to strategic asset is far from simply flipping a switch.
New research from Experian shows that while 85 percent of businesses believe data is one of their most valuable assets, a high degree of inaccuracy is hindering critical initiatives. In addition, rising levels of data debt and a data skills shortage are converging to make data insights harder to achieve. To tackle the large degree of distrust in information, a growing number of companies are investing in specialized data talent and data literacy programs.
Join us to uncover new research from more than 1,000 global professionals as we take a deep dive into:
• The top challenges in leveraging trusted data
• How data debt drags down ROI
• Trends around data skills, talent, and the rise of data literacy
• Tips for how you can drive a data-driven culture

Leveraging the Framework to Implement a Successful Data Governance Program
It’s been three years since the General Data Protection Regulation shook up how organizations manage data security and privacy, ushering in a new focus on Data Governance. But what is the state of Data Governance today?
How has it evolved? What’s its role now? Building on prior research, erwin by Quest and ESG have partnered on a new study about what’s driving the practice of Data Governance, program maturity and current challenges. It also examines the connections to data operations and data protection, which is interesting given the fact that improving data security is now the No. 1 driver of Data Governance, according to this year’s survey respondents.
So please join us for this webinar to learn about the:
Other primary drivers for enterprise Data Governance programs
Most common bottlenecks to program maturity and sustainability
Advantages of aligning Data Governance with the other data disciplines
In a post-COVID world, data has the power to be even more transformative, and 84% of business and technology professionals say it represents the best opportunity to develop a competitive advantage during the next 12 to 24 months. Let’s make sure your organization has the intelligence it needs about both data and data systems to empower stakeholders in the front and back office to do what they need to do.
Peter Vennel presents on the topic of DAMA DMBOK and Data Governance. He discusses his background and certifications. He then covers some key topics in data governance including the challenges of implementing it and defining what it is. He outlines the DAMA DMBOK knowledge areas and introduces the concept of a Data Management Center of Excellence (DMCoE) to establish governance. The DMCoE would include steering committees for each knowledge area and a data governance council and team.
To take a “ready, aim, fire” tactic to implement Data Governance, many organizations assess themselves against industry best practices. The process is not difficult or time-consuming and can directly assure that your activities target your specific needs. Best practices are always a strong place to start.
Join Bob Seiner for this popular RWDG topic, where he will provide the information you need to set your program in the best possible direction. Bob will walk you through the steps of conducting an assessment and share with you a set of typical results from taking this action. You may be surprised at how easy it is to organize the assessment and may hear results that stimulate the actions that you need to take.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- The value of performing a Data Governance best practice assessment
- A practical list of industry Data Governance best practices
- Criteria to determine if a practice is best practice

RWDG Slides: Using Tools to Advance Your Data Governance ProgramDATAVERSITY
Data Governance tools can be used to advance your Data Governance program … or they can become the reason why Data Governance fails to meet people’s expectations. Tools can be developed internally or acquired from reliable vendors to attempt to address your organization’s needs. Sometimes the best environment is made up of a hybrid of tools developed internally and tools acquired.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s RWDG webinar where he will share tools that you can build yourself and talk about how the tools can be used to determine requirements to acquire outside tools. Tools developed internally at little or no cost have helped to solve many Data Governance problems. Several of these problems and their solutions will be described in detail during this webinar.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
• Several easy-to-build Data Governance tools
• Customizing these tools to address specific issues
• How internally developed tools can lead to tool acquisition
• Knowing when it is time to acquire tools
• Integrating DIY tools with acquired tools
Real-World Data Governance: Managing Governance Metadata for Mass ConsumptionDATAVERSITY
Metadata is a byproduct of a successful data governance program. More often than not, the success of a data governance program depends on the ability to record, validate and share metadata that is produced while implementing a data governance program. Metadata provides more than just the meaning of the data, the lineage of the data, and the rules associated with consuming the data. Governance metadata includes the people aspect of the data, who owns it (if you use that term), who stewards it, and who defines, produces and uses the data across the organization as well as other things.
Data Governance Roles as the Backbone of Your ProgramDATAVERSITY
The method you follow to form your Data Governance roles and responsibilities will impact the success of your program. There are industry-standard roles that require adjustment to fit the culture of your organization when getting started, gaining acceptance, and demonstrating sustained value. Roles are the backbone of a productive Data Governance program.
Bob Seiner will share his updated operating model of roles and responsibilities in this topical RWDG webinar. The model Bob uses is meant to overlay your present organizational structure rather than requiring you to try and plug your organization into someone else’s model. This webinar will provide everything you need to know about Data Governance roles.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
• An operating model of Data Governance roles and responsibilities
• How to customize the model to mimic your existing structure
• The meaning behind the oft-used “roles pyramid”
• Detailed responsibilities at each level of the organization
• Using the model to influence Data Governance acceptance

How to Strengthen Enterprise Data Governance with Data QualityDATAVERSITY
If your organization is in a highly-regulated industry – or relies on data for competitive advantage – data governance is undoubtedly a top priority. Whether you’re focused on “defensive” data governance (supporting regulatory compliance and risk management) or “offensive” data governance (extracting the maximum value from your data assets, and minimizing the cost of bad data), data quality plays a critical role in ensuring success.
Join our webinar to learn how enterprise data quality drives stronger data governance, including:
The overlaps between data governance and data quality
The “data” dependencies of data governance – and how data quality addresses them
Key considerations for deploying data quality for data governance
Sallie Mae has implemented an extensive data governance program to manage its large volumes of customer and financial data. The program began in 2006 with an enterprise data definition project and pilot data governance initiative. It has since expanded to include a data governance council, office, and quality team. The program aims to standardize data, ensure quality, and support compliance. Regular communication and metrics are used to demonstrate the program's business benefits, such as increased revenue and reduced costs.
Data-Ed Webinar: Data Governance StrategiesDATAVERSITY
This webinar discusses data governance strategies and provides an overview of key concepts. It covers defining data governance and why it is important, outlining requirements for effective data governance such as accessibility, security, consistency, quality and being auditable. The presentation also discusses data governance frameworks, components, and best practices, providing examples to illustrate how data governance can be implemented and help organizations.
RWDG Webinar: Agile Data Governance - How to Apply Governance to AgileDATAVERSITY
Agile development efforts and Data Governance efforts are at odds with each other. Even though they both have the sponsorship at the highest level of the organization, there is disconnect when it comes to understanding how the two disciplines interact. Supporters of both disciplines swear by their trade and leave little wiggle room when it comes to working together. Organizations want FAST and they require ACCURATE DATA. Organizations require both.
Bob Seiner will address Agile Data Governance in this month’s installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series. Agile efforts are typically corporate priority efforts. Data as an asset is an integral corporate priority. Both disciplines are here to stay to address rapidly changing business requirements and improved analytical and data protection capabilities. Organizations must address this separation and they must act quickly.
This webinar will focus on:
•Relating the Disciplines for Senior Leadership
•Finding Common Ground between Agile and Data Governance
•Applying Data Governance to Agile Efforts
•Best Practices for Agile Data Governance
•Gaining Agile Support for Data Activities
RWDG Webinar: DIY and Purchased Data Governance ToolsDATAVERSITY
Data Governance tools are enablers to program success. The metadata stored in these tools become the backbone of a successful Data Governance program. The question of whether to build your own Data Governance tools versus purchasing Data Governance tools must be answered early in the program development process. There are benefits and drawbacks to either way you answer this question.
This month’s RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner focuses on making smart choices when it comes to selecting or developing the tools to support your Data Governance program. Bob will share his experiences of evaluating tools on the market and also share templates and tools that he has created to assist programs through the growing pains of success. There is something in the webinar for newbies and experienced practitioners.
In this webinar Bob will address:
• How to answer the Build vs Buy question
• Criteria for evaluating tools on the market
• Examples of tools you can create yourself
• Complimentary nature of DIY and purchased tools
• Cost and benefits of Data Governance tool choices

How to Strengthen Enterprise Data Governance with Data QualityDATAVERSITY
If your organization is in a highly-regulated industry – or relies on data for competitive advantage – data governance is undoubtedly a top priority. Whether you’re focused on “defensive” data governance (supporting regulatory compliance and risk management) or “offensive” data governance (extracting the maximum value from your data assets, and minimizing the cost of bad data), data quality plays a critical role in ensuring success.
Join our webinar to learn how enterprise data quality drives stronger data governance, including:
The overlaps between data governance and data quality
The “data” dependencies of data governance – and how data quality addresses them
Key considerations for deploying data quality for data governance
Sallie Mae has implemented an extensive data governance program to manage its large volumes of customer and financial data. The program began in 2006 with an enterprise data definition project and pilot data governance initiative. It has since expanded to include a data governance council, office, and quality team. The program aims to standardize data, ensure quality, and support compliance. Regular communication and metrics are used to demonstrate the program's business benefits, such as increased revenue and reduced costs.

RWDG Webinar: Agile Data Governance - How to Apply Governance to AgileDATAVERSITY
Agile development efforts and Data Governance efforts are at odds with each other. Even though they both have the sponsorship at the highest level of the organization, there is disconnect when it comes to understanding how the two disciplines interact. Supporters of both disciplines swear by their trade and leave little wiggle room when it comes to working together. Organizations want FAST and they require ACCURATE DATA. Organizations require both.
Bob Seiner will address Agile Data Governance in this month’s installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series. Agile efforts are typically corporate priority efforts. Data as an asset is an integral corporate priority. Both disciplines are here to stay to address rapidly changing business requirements and improved analytical and data protection capabilities. Organizations must address this separation and they must act quickly.
This webinar will focus on:
•Relating the Disciplines for Senior Leadership
•Finding Common Ground between Agile and Data Governance
•Applying Data Governance to Agile Efforts
•Best Practices for Agile Data Governance
•Gaining Agile Support for Data Activities
RWDG Webinar: DIY and Purchased Data Governance ToolsDATAVERSITY
Data Governance tools are enablers to program success. The metadata stored in these tools become the backbone of a successful Data Governance program. The question of whether to build your own Data Governance tools versus purchasing Data Governance tools must be answered early in the program development process. There are benefits and drawbacks to either way you answer this question.
This month’s RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner focuses on making smart choices when it comes to selecting or developing the tools to support your Data Governance program. Bob will share his experiences of evaluating tools on the market and also share templates and tools that he has created to assist programs through the growing pains of success.

Recording critical data governance metadata
Applying governance to existing and/or new processes
Providing necessary awareness and communications
Building and improving data understanding
Real-World Data Governance: Data Governance Policy - Components and ContentDATAVERSITY
Metadata is the most valuable tool of the Data Steward. Where the stewards get their metadata and how they participate in the process of delivering core metadata is an issue organizations have been struggling with for years. The Operational Metadata Store or OMS may be the answer.
The traditional Operational Data Store or ODS is a database designed to integrate data from numerous sources that supports business operations and then feeds that data back into the operational systems. This Real-World Data Governance webinar with Bob Seiner and a panel of industry pundits will hold a lively discussion on the practicality of creating the ODS using metadata as the data, utilizing the metadata from a variety of existing sources to operationalize your data stewards.
The session will focus on:
Identifying the most significant metadata for your organization
Identifying existing sources of metadata – known and hidden
Identifying when that metadata will be most useful to your data stewards
Defining a lifecycle that encourages data steward participation
Delivering a model that incorporates all of the above
Real-World Data Governance: A Different Way of Defining Data Stewards & Stewa...DATAVERSITY
What if everybody in your organization was considered a steward of the data they define, produce and use? What would it take to get that message across? How would we communicate with everybody, all the time, in an effective way … or this just a pipe dream? What exactly would it take to change the mindset of the organization as to the value of governance and stewardship of our most critical of assets? Bob Seiner thinks he has the answer. And he wants to share it with you during this installment of his Real-World Data Governance webinar series.
Real-World Data Governance: Selecting the Right Data Governance ApproachDATAVERSITY
There are numerous approaches to delivering a Data Governance Program. Some people will say that no two programs look the same. Some of the approaches are stricter and more by the book – some may consider them to be about Command and Control. There are other approaches that focus more on formalizing accountability and that take a less invasive approach.
Join Bob Seiner for this installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series as he dissects several approaches to Data Governance and provides insight as to what may be the best approach for your organization. Bob will look at these approaches from a new program and existing program perspective.
In this session Bob will discuss:
Differences in Data Governance Approaches
How to Match Your Data Governance Approach to Your Culture
How to Blend Pieces of Different Approaches to Meet Your Objectives
How to Set Expectations Aligned with Your Approach
How to Evaluate if the Approach has been Successful

Roles and responsibilities are the foundation of a successful Data Governance program. An operating model of roles focuses on all levels of the organization including the executive, strategic, tactical and operational responsibilities. A complete model also includes roles that support the program.
In this month’s RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will present a proven Operating Model of Data Governance Roles & Responsibilities that can be applied to the existing culture of any organization. This webinar may be the most important webinar of the year because of its impact on the rest of your data governance program.
In this webinar Bob will share information about:
The Operating Model as a pyramid diagram
Three different approaches to stewardship
Five distinct levels of responsibilities
Who is expected to participate at each level?
What will be “the ask” of these people?
Real-World Data Governance: Data Governance ExpectationsDATAVERSITY
When starting a Data Governance program, significant time, effort and bandwidth is typically spent selling the concept of data governance and telling people in your organization what data governance will do for them. This may not be the best strategy to take. We should focus on making Data Governance THEIR idea not ours.
Shouldn’t the strategy be that we get the business people from our organization to tell US why data governance is necessary and what data governance will do for them? If only we could get them to tell us these things? Maybe we can.
Join Bob Seiner and DATAVERSITY for this informative Real-World Data Governance webinar that will focus on getting THEM to tell US where data governance will add value. Seiner will review techniques for acquiring this information and will share information of where this information will add specific value to your data governance program. Some of those places may surprise you.
Data Governance & Data Steward CertificationDATAVERSITY
Becoming certified means that you have been provided some form of external review, education, assessment, or audit and that you passed that review. Being certified can make the difference in getting a job or that desirable position. Many people are seeking certification to differentiate themselves from their competition. It makes sense.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of Real-World Data Governance to explore the depth of necessity of certification in the field of data governance and the responsibility of the data stewards. Bob will talk about the different certifications available and direct you to the one that is appropriate according to your responsibilities. It may not be as easy as you think. Learn why in this webinar.
In this webinar Bob will talk about:
The Value of Being Certified
Categories of Available Certification
What to look for from Certification
Whether Certification is Right for You
Internal Versus External Certification
Real-World Data Governance: How to Write a Data Steward Job DescriptionDATAVERSITY
A Data Steward Job Description is a list of job responsibilities that a Data Steward uses for tasks, or functions, and responsibilities of them in their everyday role. It includes to whom they report, the qualifications or skills needed by the person, and sometimes even includes a salary range. The job description of a Data Steward is not a new job description or different from their other job description. Is this confusing? We thought so.
This Real-World Data Governance webinar with Bob Seiner will focus on defining the typical responsibilities for every data steward all at once, no matter the industry, their role in the organization, or their role in the Data Governance program. Bob will focus on a list of competencies required for people to become great Data Stewards.
The session will include:
Components of a Data Steward Job Description
Seiner’s Rules for Becoming a Data Steward and How They Apply
Getting the Data Steward Involved in the Writing
Evaluating a Data Steward Based on the Job Description
Is a Job Description Even Necessary
RWDG Webinar: Writing Data Governance Policies & ProceduresDATAVERSITY
This document provides an overview of a webinar on writing data governance policies and procedures. It includes the session abstract, which outlines topics that will be covered such as essential policy components and how to craft policy principles and verbiage. It also provides examples of key policy sections including the introduction, policy statement, and data governance principles. The webinar aims to help participants understand how to develop an effective data governance policy to guide their program.
RWDG Webinar Everybody is a Data StewardDATAVERSITY
This document discusses the concept that everybody in an organization can be considered a data steward. It begins by defining data governance and data stewardship, and introducing the concept of "Non-Invasive Data Governance". It then discusses how leadership is beginning to recognize that everyone with a relationship to organizational data should be held accountable for that relationship. The document considers how to expand the traditional view of data stewardship to include everybody, and potential benefits and challenges to this approach. It also outlines different types of data stewards and their typical responsibilities.
Data Governance and the Internet of ThingsDATAVERSITY
Several years back there were already more devices connected to the internet than people. It is estimated that more than 20 billion devices will be connected by 2020 and that number will never fall. Connecting to the internet implies the transfer of data. The numbers of devices and what they transfer imply a lot of data. Who is governing all of this data?
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of Real-World Data Governance to expand your appreciation of the data issues that pertain to the Internet of Things (IoT). You may be surprised how much of what you already know about data governance applies to governing this new definition, production and use of data.
In this webinar Bob will talk about:
•Clear Description of IoT Focused on the data
•Addressing Data Management Concerns
•Applications of IoT Data
•Dimensions of IoT Data Processes and Quality
•Risk Associated with Interoperability
RWDG Webinar: A Data Governance Framework for Smart DataDATAVERSITY
Does your organization have smart data? How does your company define smart data? Smart data is data that is used in non-traditional ways such as through machine learning, through the semantic web and by taking advantage of new data opportunities such as the Internet of Thing. Businesses have embraced the importance of Big Data. Now we are being asked to embrace and govern Smart Data.
Join Bob Seiner and a Smart Data Expert for this Real-World Data Governance webinar focused on the governing the use of emerging data technologies and smart data practices as a way of maximizing the value of data in your organization.

-Questions the data catalog can answer
Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business world’s consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: “Big Data,” “NoSQL,” “Data Scientist,” and so on. Few realize that all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates data modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology and business investment depends.
Specific learning objectives include:
- Understanding what types of challenges require data modeling to be part of the solution
- How automation requires standardization on derivable via data modeling techniques
- Why only a working partnership between data and the business can produce useful outcomes
Analytics play a critical role in supporting strategic business initiatives. Despite the obvious value to analytic professionals of providing the analytics for these initiatives, many executives question the economic return of analytics as well as data lakes, machine learning, master data management, and the like.
Technology professionals need to calculate and present business value in terms business executives can understand. Unfortunately, most IT professionals lack the knowledge required to develop comprehensive cost-benefit analyses and return on investment (ROI) measurements.
This session provides a framework to help technology professionals research, measure, and present the economic value of a proposed or existing analytics initiative, no matter the form that the business benefit arises. The session will provide practical advice about how to calculate ROI and the formulas, and how to collect the necessary information.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesn’t address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.
Enterprise data literacy. A worthy objective? Certainly! A realistic goal? That remains to be seen. As companies consider investing in data literacy education, questions arise about its value and purpose. While the destination – having a data-fluent workforce – is attractive, we wonder how (and if) we can get there.
Kicking off this webinar series, we begin with a panel discussion to explore the landscape of literacy, including expert positions and results from focus groups:
- why it matters,
- what it means,
- what gets in the way,
- who needs it (and how much they need),
- what companies believe it will accomplish.
In this engaging discussion about literacy, we will set the stage for future webinars to answer specific questions and feature successful literacy efforts.
The Data Trifecta – Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
Change is hard, especially in response to negative stimuli or what is perceived as negative stimuli. So organizations need to reframe how they think about data privacy, security and governance, treating them as value centers to 1) ensure enterprise data can flow where it needs to, 2) prevent – not just react – to internal and external threats, and 3) comply with data privacy and security regulations.
Working together, these roles can accelerate faster access to approved, relevant and higher quality data – and that means more successful use cases, faster speed to insights, and better business outcomes. However, both new information and tools are required to make the shift from defense to offense, reducing data drama while increasing its value.
Join us for this panel discussion with experts in these fields as they discuss:
- Recent research about where data privacy, security and governance stand
- The most valuable enterprise data use cases
- The common obstacles to data value creation
- New approaches to data privacy, security and governance
- Their advice on how to shift from a reactive to resilient mindset/culture/organization
You’ll be educated, entertained and inspired by this panel and their expertise in using the data trifecta to innovate more often, operate more efficiently, and differentiate more strategically.

Data Governance Trends and Best Practices To Implement TodayDATAVERSITY
1) The document discusses best practices for data protection on Google Cloud, including setting data policies, governing access, classifying sensitive data, controlling access, encryption, secure collaboration, and incident response.
2) It provides examples of how to limit access to data and sensitive information, gain visibility into where sensitive data resides, encrypt data with customer-controlled keys, harden workloads, run workloads confidentially, collaborate securely with untrusted parties, and address cloud security incidents.
3) The key recommendations are to protect data at rest and in use through classification, access controls, encryption, confidential computing; securely share data through techniques like secure multi-party computation; and have an incident response plan to quickly address threats.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Too often I hear the question “Can you help me with our data strategy?” Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component: the data strategy itself. A more useful request is: “Can you help me apply data strategically?” Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) data strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive –particularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tyson’s truism: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” This program refocuses efforts on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. It also contributes to three primary organizational data goals. Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organization’s data
- The way your people use data
- The way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
This will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (data strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why data strategy is necessary for effective data governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of data strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Who Should Own Data Governance – IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
The question is asked all the time: “What part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?” The typical answers are “the business” and “IT (information technology).” Another answer to that question is “Yes.” The program must be owned and reside somewhere in the organization. You may ask yourself if there is a correct answer to the question.
Join this new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner where Bob will answer the question that is the title of this webinar. Determining ownership of Data Governance is a vital first step. Figuring out the appropriate part of the organization to manage the program is an important second step. This webinar will help you address these questions and more.
In this session Bob will share:
- What is meant by “the business” when it comes to owning Data Governance
- Why some people say that Data Governance in IT is destined to fail
- Examples of IT positioned Data Governance success
- Considerations for answering the question in your organization
- The final answer to the question of who should own Data Governance
This document summarizes a research study that assessed the data management practices of 175 organizations between 2000-2006. The study had both descriptive and self-improvement goals, such as understanding the range of practices and determining areas for improvement. Researchers used a structured interview process to evaluate organizations across six data management processes based on a 5-level maturity model. The results provided insights into an organization's practices and a roadmap for enhancing data management.
MLOps – Applying DevOps to Competitive AdvantageDATAVERSITY
MLOps is a practice for collaboration between Data Science and operations to manage the production machine learning (ML) lifecycles. As an amalgamation of “machine learning” and “operations,” MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery, enabling the delivery of ML-based innovation at scale to result in:
Faster time to market of ML-based solutions
More rapid rate of experimentation, driving innovation
Assurance of quality, trustworthiness, and ethical AI
MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors have emerged with offerings to support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML and Google Vertex AI.
