Data Governance and Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
Metadata is a tool that improves data understanding, builds end-user confidence, and improves the return on investment in every asset associated with becoming a data-centric organization. Metadata’s use has expanded beyond “data about data” to cover every phase of data analytics, protection, and quality improvement. Data Governance and metadata are connected at the hip in every way possible. As the song goes, “You can’t have one without the other.”
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will provide a way to renew your energy by focusing on the valuable asset that can make or break your Data Governance program’s success. The truth is metadata is already inherent in your data environment, and it can be leveraged by making it available to all levels of the organization. At issue is finding the most appropriate ways to leverage and share metadata to improve data value and protection.
Throughout this webinar, Bob will share information about:
- Delivering an improved definition of metadata
- Communicating the relationship between successful governance and metadata
- Getting your business community to embrace the need for metadata
- Determining the metadata that will provide the most bang for your bucks
- The importance of Metadata Management to becoming data-centric
Data protection and privacy regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) have been major drivers for data governance initiatives and the emergence of data catalog solutions. Organizations have an ever-increasing appetite to leverage their data for business advantage, either through internal collaboration, data sharing across ecosystems, direct commercialization, or as the basis for AI-driven business decision-making. This requires data governance and especially data asset catalog solutions to step up once again and enable data-driven businesses to leverage their data responsibly, ethically, compliantly, and accountably.
This presentation explores how data catalog has become a key technology enabler in overcoming these challenges.
Building a Data Strategy – Practical Steps for Aligning with Business GoalsDATAVERSITY
Developing a Data Strategy for your organization can seem like a daunting task – but it’s worth the effort. Getting your Data Strategy right can provide significant value, as data drives many of the key initiatives in today’s marketplace – from digital transformation, to marketing, to customer centricity, to population health, and more. This webinar will help demystify Data Strategy and its relationship to Data Architecture and will provide concrete, practical ways to get started.

Data Governance Takes a Village (So Why is Everyone Hiding?)DATAVERSITY
Data governance represents both an obstacle and opportunity for enterprises everywhere. And many individuals may hesitate to embrace the change. Yet if led well, a governance initiative has the potential to launch a data community that drives innovation and data-driven decision-making for the wider business. (And yes, it can even be fun!). So how do you build a roadmap to success?
This session will gather four governance experts, including Mary Williams, Associate Director, Enterprise Data Governance at Exact Sciences, and Bob Seiner, author of Non-Invasive Data Governance, for a roundtable discussion about the challenges and opportunities of leading a governance initiative that people embrace. Join this webinar to learn:
- How to build an internal case for data governance and a data catalog
- Tips for picking a use case that builds confidence in your program
- How to mature your program and build your data community
This presentation reports on data governance best practices. Based on a definition of fundamental terms and the business rationale for data governance, a set of case studies from leading companies is presented. The content of this presentation is a result of the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Glossaries, Dictionaries, and Catalogs Result in Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Data catalogs, business glossaries, and data dictionaries house metadata that is important to your organization’s governance of data. People in your organization need to be engaged in leveraging the tools, understanding the data that is available, who is responsible for the data, and knowing how to get their hands on the data to perform their job function. The metadata will not govern itself.
Join Bob Seiner for the webinar where he will discuss how glossaries, dictionaries, and catalogs can result in effective Data Governance. People must have confidence in the metadata associated with the data that you need them to trust. Therefore, the metadata in your data catalog, business glossary, and data dictionary must result in governed data. Learn how glossaries, dictionaries, and catalogs can result in Data Governance in this webinar.
Bob will discuss the following subjects in this webinar:
- Successful Data Governance relies on value from very important tools
- What it means to govern your data catalog, business glossary, and data dictionary
- Why governing the metadata in these tools is important
- The roles necessary to govern these tools
- Governance expected from metadata in catalogs, glossaries, and dictionaries
A conceptual data model (CDM) uses simple graphical images to describe core concepts and principles of an organization at a high level. A CDM facilitates communication between businesspeople and IT and integration between systems. It needs to capture enough rules and definitions to create database systems while remaining intuitive. Conceptual data models apply to both transactional and dimensional/analytics modeling. While different notations can be used, the most important thing is that a CDM effectively conveys an organization's key concepts.
Tackling Data Quality problems requires more than a series of tactical, one-off improvement projects. By their nature, many Data Quality problems extend across and often beyond an organization. Addressing these issues requires a holistic architectural approach combining people, process, and technology. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide practical ways to control Data Quality issues in your organization.
This document provides an overview of best practices in metadata management. It discusses what metadata is, why it is important, and how it adds context and definition to data. Metadata management is part of an overall data strategy. The document outlines different types of metadata and how it is used by various roles like developers, business people, auditors, and data architects. It discusses challenges like inconsistent metadata that can lead to issues. It also provides examples of metadata sources, architectural options, and how metadata enables capabilities like data lineage, impact analysis, and semantic relationships.

Improving Data Literacy Around Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Data Literacy is an increasing concern, as organizations look to become more data-driven. As the rise of the citizen data scientist and self-service data analytics becomes increasingly common, the need for business users to understand core Data Management fundamentals is more important than ever. At the same time, technical roles need a strong foundation in Data Architecture principles and best practices. Join this webinar to understand the key components of Data Literacy, and practical ways to implement a Data Literacy program in your organization.
The document discusses modern data architectures. It presents conceptual models for data ingestion, storage, processing, and insights/actions. It compares traditional vs modern architectures. The modern architecture uses a data lake for storage and allows for on-demand analysis. It provides an example of how this could be implemented on Microsoft Azure using services like Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Data Bricks, and Azure Data Warehouse. It also outlines common data management functions such as data governance, architecture, development, operations, and security.
Data-Ed Slides: Best Practices in Data Stewardship (Technical)DATAVERSITY
In order to find value in your organization's data assets, heroic data stewards are tasked with saving the day- every single day! These heroes adhere to a data governance framework and work to ensure that data is: captured right the first time, validated through automated means, and integrated into business processes. Whether its data profiling or in depth root cause analysis, data stewards can be counted on to ensure the organization's mission critical data is reliable. In this webinar we will approach this framework, and punctuate important facets of a data steward’s role.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the business need for a data governance framework
- Learn why embedded data quality principles are an important part of system/process design
- Identify opportunities to help drive your organization to a data driven culture
Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.
Join Donna Burbank and her guest, Nigel Turner, as they discuss how data models & metadata-driven data governance can be applied in your organization in order to achieve improved data quality.
Data Architecture - The Foundation for Enterprise Architecture and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Organizations are faced with an increasingly complex data landscape, finding themselves unable to cope with exponentially increasing data volumes, compounded by additional regulatory requirements with increased fines for non-compliance. Enterprise architecture and data governance are often discussed at length, but often with different stakeholder audiences. This can result in complementary and sometimes conflicting initiatives rather than a focused, integrated approach. Data governance requires a solid data architecture foundation in order to support the pillars of enterprise architecture. In this session, IDERA’s Ron Huizenga will discuss a practical, integrated approach to effectively understand, define and implement an cohesive enterprise architecture and data governance discipline with integrated modeling and metadata management.
Data Catalogs Are the Answer – What is the Question?DATAVERSITY
Organizations with governed metadata made available through their data catalog can answer questions their people have about the organization’s data. These organizations get more value from their data, protect their data better, gain improved ROI from data-centric projects and programs, and have more confidence in their most strategic data.
Join Bob Seiner for this lively webinar where he will talk about the value of a data catalog and how to build the use of the catalog into your stewards’ daily routines. Bob will share how the tool must be positioned for success and viewed as a must-have resource that is a steppingstone and catalyst to governed data across the organization.
[DSC Europe 22] Lakehouse architecture with Delta Lake and Databricks - Draga...DataScienceConferenc1
Dragan Berić will take a deep dive into Lakehouse architecture, a game-changing concept bridging the best elements of data lake and data warehouse. The presentation will focus on the Delta Lake format as the foundation of the Lakehouse philosophy, and Databricks as the primary platform for its implementation.
Straight Talk to Demystify Data LineageDATAVERSITY
Are you sure you trust the data you just used for that $10 million decision? To trust data authenticity we must first understand its lineage. However, the term "Data Lineage" itself is ambiguous since it is used in different contexts. "Business Lineage" links metadata constructs to specific terms in a business glossary. This approach is used by numerous Data Governance solutions. This approach alone comes up short, since it doesn't trace the real flow of information through an organization. "Technical Lineage" traces data's journey through different systems and data stores, providing an audit trail of the changes along the way. True "Data Lineage" combines both aspects, providing context to fully understand the data life cycle. Every step in data's journey is a potential source for introduction of error that could compromise Data Quality, and hence, business decisions. In this session, Ron Huizenga offers a comprehensive discussion of data lineage and associated Data Quality remediation approaches that are essential to build a foundation for Data Governance.
Data Architecture Strategies: Data Architecture for Digital TransformationDATAVERSITY
MDM, data quality, data architecture, and more. At the same time, combining these foundational data management approaches with other innovative techniques can help drive organizational change as well as technological transformation. This webinar will provide practical steps for creating a data foundation for effective digital transformation.
The document discusses data governance concepts and activities. It defines data governance as the exercise of authority and control over data asset management. It describes the key roles and organizations involved in data governance, including the data governance council, data stewardship committees, and data stewardship teams. It also outlines the main activities of a data governance function, such as developing a data strategy, policies, standards, and procedures. The document provides details on how issues are managed and how data governance interacts with and oversees data management projects.
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
Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program

Since Information has to be understood to be managed, it stands to reason that something whose very purpose is to gain agreement on the meaning and definition of data concepts will be a key component. That is one of the major things that the Information Architecture provides.
At its heart, the Information Architecture provides the unifying language, lingua franca, the common vocabulary upon which everything else is based. Each other modelling technique within the complimentary architecture disciplines will interact with each other, forming a supportive; cross checked, integrated and validated set of techniques.
Furthermore. the way in which data modelling is being taught in many academic institutions and it’s perception in many organisations does not reflect the real value that data models can realise. Information Professionals must move away from the DBMS design mentality and deliver models in consumable formats which are fit for many purposes, not simply for technical design.
This talk emphasises the role of Information at the heart of all Enterprise Architecture disciplines & how well formed Information artefacts can be exploited in complimentary practices.

Data Management Capabilities for the Oil & Gas Industry 17-19 March, DubaiChristopher Bradley
The document summarizes an upcoming workshop on data management capabilities for the oil and gas industry. The 3-day workshop in Dubai will bring together senior professionals to share experiences with major data management concepts. Participants will analyze capabilities of concepts like master data management, big data, ERP systems, and GIS. The goal is to develop a comprehensive solution architecture model that classifies these concepts to help organizations evaluate market solutions and needs. Sessions will cover data storage, integration, and management services applications in oil and gas. Attendees include CEOs, data managers, architects, and other technical roles.
Agile & Data Modeling – How Can They Work Together?DATAVERSITY
A tenet of the Agile Manifesto is ‘Working software over comprehensive documentation’, and many have interpreted that to mean that data models are not necessary in the agile development environment. Others have seen the value of data models for achieving the other core tenets of ‘Customer Collaboration’ and ‘Responding to Change’.
This webinar will discuss how data models are being effectively used in today’s Agile development environment and the benefits that are being achieved from this approach.
This document discusses organizing data in a data lake or "data reservoir". It describes the changing data landscape with multiple platforms for different analytical workloads. It outlines issues with the current siloed approach to data integration and management. The document introduces the concept of a data reservoir - a collaborative, governed environment for rapidly producing information. Key capabilities of a data reservoir include data collection, classification, governance, refinery, consumption, and virtualization. It describes how a data reservoir uses zones to organize data at different stages and uses workflows and an information catalog to manage the information production process across the reservoir.
Big Data, why the Big fuss.
Volume, Variety, Velocity ... we know the 3 V's of Big Data. But Big Data if it yields little Information is useless, so focus on the 4th V = Value.
If you haven't sorted quality & data governance for your "little data" then seriously consider if you want to venture into the world of Big Data
Business today is starting to understand the value of data, and some organisations are outperforming their competition by putting data at the heart of their thinking. Leveraging data to change business models, understand their customers and employees better and deliver new revenue streams is the driving force in this new data centric era.

5 big data at work linking discovery and bi to improve business outcomes from...Dr. Wilfred Lin (Ph.D.)
This document discusses how big data and business intelligence can be used together to improve business outcomes. It provides an agenda that includes industry use cases, a demonstration, and getting started with big data. It discusses how big data can be used to run or change a business by organizing data for a specific purpose or exploring raw data to discover new opportunities. The document then highlights several industry examples of how companies have used big data to lower costs, increase revenue, and innovate. It concludes with a discussion of key aspects of big data discovery solutions, including combining diverse data sources, exploring data with no training, and balancing business and IT needs.
This document discusses the value and risks of big data. It begins with defining big data as large and complex data sets that require new technologies to manage and analyze. The document then discusses how big data is used for marketing, recommendations, analytics, and other purposes. It notes both the benefits but also risks of poor data quality and limited governance of big data projects. The document also provides overviews of technologies like Hadoop, MapReduce, Pig, Hive, and NoSQL that support big data. It questions whether social data should be considered a corporate asset and discusses the complexity of understanding big data risks. Overall, the document aims to highlight both the opportunities and governance challenges presented by big data.
Data Modeling Best Practices - Business & Technical ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Modeling is hotter than ever, according to a number of recent surveys. Part of the appeal of data models lies in their ability to translate complex data concepts in an intuitive, visual way to both business and technical stakeholders. This webinar provides real-world best practices in using Data Modeling for both business and technical teams.
This document discusses how semantic technologies can help improve the integration and sharing of laboratory data. It outlines some of the current challenges laboratories face with data silos and incompatible systems. Semantic technologies provide interoperability, improved searching and browsing, and the ability to reuse data. They also allow for automated reasoning by adding formal representations and logic. Moving forward, big data analytics will be increasingly important, and semantic technologies provide advantages by adding metadata, understanding relationships and context in data, and enabling better data models and integration across complex information. Ultimately, smart laboratories of the future can provide integrated, sharable, scalable data and analytics capabilities using these approaches.
DAS Slides: Emerging Trends in Data Architecture – What’s the Next Big Thing?DATAVERSITY
With technological innovation and change occurring at an ever-increasing rate, it’s hard to keep track of what’s hype and what can provide practical value for your organization. Join this webinar to see the results of a recent DATAVERSITY survey on emerging trends in data architecture, along with practical commentary and advice from industry expert Donna Burbank.
Paper which discusses the notion that Data is NOT the "new Oil". We hear copious amounts said that Data is an asset, it's got to be managed, few people in the business understand it & so on. The phrase "Data is the new Oil" gets used many times, yet is rarely (if ever) justified. This paper is aimed to raise the level of debate from a subliminal nod to a conscious examination of the characteristics of different "assets" (particularly Oil) and to compare them with those of the 'Data asset".
Written by Christopher Bradley, CDMP Fellow, VP Professional Development DAMA International & 38 years Information Management experience, much of it in the Oil & Gas industry.

The document discusses an enterprise information management (EIM) framework and big data readiness assessment. It provides an overview of key components of an EIM framework, including data governance, data integration, data lifecycle management, and maturity assessments of EIM disciplines and enablers. It then describes a big data readiness assessment that helps organizations address questions around their need for and ability to exploit big data by determining which foundational EIM capabilities must be established and what aspects need improvement before embarking on a big data initiative.

Peter Aiken introduces the concept of information management and argues that information is a valuable corporate asset that needs to be managed rigorously. The document discusses how the rise of unstructured data poses new challenges for information management. It outlines the dangers of poor information management, such as regulatory fines, damage to brand and reputation, and inability to access the right information to make good decisions. The document argues that smart organizations will implement information governance to exploit their information assets and gain competitive advantages.
Big Data projects require diverse skills and expertise, not a single person. Harnessing large and complex datasets can provide significant benefits for organizations, such as better decision making and new revenue opportunities, but also challenges. Successful Big Data initiatives require the right technology, skilled staff, and effective presentation of insights to decision makers. While technology enables exploitation of Big Data, information management practices and a mix of technical and analytical skills are needed to realize its full potential.

This document discusses BP's data modelling challenges and solutions. BP has over 100,000 employees operating in over 100 countries with 250 data centers and over 7,000 applications. Their challenges included decentralized management of data modelling, lack of standards and governance, and models getting lost after projects. Their solution included a self-service DMaaS portal for ER/Studio licensing and model publishing. It provides automated reporting, judicious use of macros, and a community of interest. Next steps include promoting data modelling to SAP architects and expanding training, certification and the online community.

This document discusses the importance and evolution of data modeling. It argues that data modeling is critical to all architecture disciplines, not just database development, as the data model provides common definitions and vocabulary. The document reviews the history of data management from the 1950s to today, noting how data modeling was originally used primarily for database development but now has broader applications. It discusses different types of data models for different purposes, and walks through traditional "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches to using data models for database development. The overall message is that data modeling remains important but its uses and best practices have expanded beyond its original scope.

Difference in Differences - Does Strict Speed Limit Restrictions Reduce Road ...ThinkInnovation
Objective
To identify the impact of speed limit restrictions in different constituencies over the years with the help of DID technique to conclude whether having strict speed limit restrictions can help to reduce the increasing number of road accidents on weekends.
Context*
Generally, on weekends people tend to spend time with their family and friends and go for outings, parties, shopping, etc. which results in an increased number of vehicles and crowds on the roads.
Over the years a rapid increase in road casualties was observed on weekends by the Government.
In the year 2005, the Government wanted to identify the impact of road safety laws, especially the speed limit restrictions in different states with the help of government records for the past 10 years (1995-2004), the objective was to introduce/revive road safety laws accordingly for all the states to reduce the increasing number of road casualties on weekends
* The Speed limit restriction can be observed before 2000 year as well, but the strict speed limit restriction rule was implemented from 2000 year to understand the impact
Strategies
Observe the Difference in Differences between ‘year’ >= 2000 & ‘year’ <2000
Observe the outcome from multiple linear regression by considering all the independent variables & the interaction term

What Is Data Governance?
The Design & Execution Of Standards & Policies Covering …
› Design and operation of a management system to assure that data delivers value
and is not a cost
› Who can do what to the organisation’s data and how
› Ensuring standards are set and met
› A strategic & high level view across the whole organisation
To Ensure …
› Key principles/processes of effective Information Management are put into practice
› Continual improvement through the evolution of an Information Management strategy
Data Governance Is NOT …
› A “one off” Tactical management exercise
› The responsibility of the Technology and IT department alone

Data governance – alternate
definitions
“Data Governance is the exercise of
authority and control (planning,
monitoring, and enforcement) over
the management of data assets.”
(DAMA International)
“Data Governance is a quality control
discipline for adding new rigor and
discipline to the process of managing,
using, improving and protecting
organizational information.”
(IBM Data Governance Council)
“Data Governance is a system of
decision rights and accountabilities for
information-related processes,
executed according to agreed-upon
models which describe who can take
what actions with what information,
and when, under what circumstances,
using what methods.”
(Data Governance Institute)
“Data Governance is the formal
orchestration of people, processes,
and technology to enable an
organization to leverage data as an
enterprise asset.”
(MDM Institute)
13. P / 13
Data Governance – a simple
definition
“The process of
managing and
improving data for
the benefit of all
stakeholders”
15. P / 15
Why Is Data Governance Critical?
_Higher volumes of data generated by
organisations
_Proliferation of data-centric systems
_Greater demand for reliable information
_Tighter regulatory compliance
_Competitive advantage
_Business change is no longer optional;
it’s inevitable
_Big Data explosion (and hype)
16. P / 16
Benefits Of Data Governance
_ Assurance and evidence that data is
managed effectively reduces regulatory
compliance risk and improves confidence
in operational and management decisions
_ Known individuals, their responsibilities and
escalation route reduces the time and
effort to resolve data issues
_Improved opportunity to rapidly and
effectively exploit information for
customer insights and competitive
advantage
_ Increased agility and capability to
respond to change and events faster
through joint understanding across users
and IT
_Reduced system design and integration
effort
_Reduced risk of departmental silos
and duplication leading to reconciliation
effort and argument

for Data
Governance
2. Pre-emptive Governance
1. Reactive Governance
3. Proactive Governance
19. P / 19
Motivations For Data Governance
_Tactical exercise
_Efforts designed to respond to current pains
_Organisation has suffered a regulatory breach or a data disaster
R E AC T I V E GOV E R N A NC E
_Organisation is facing a major change or threats
_Designed to ward off significant issues that could affect success of the
company
_Probably driven by impending regulatory & compliance needs
PRE-EMPTIVE GOVERNANCE
_Efforts designed to improve capabilities to resolve risk and data issues.
_Build on reactive governance to create an ever-increasing body of validated rules,
standards, and tested processes.
_Part of a wider Information Management strategy
PROACTIVE GOVERNANCE
“If your main motivation for Data Governance is
Regulation & Compliance, the best you can ever
hope to achieve is just to be compliant”
22. P / 22
What is the Business Motivation Model?
The language of strategic planning is often inconsistent. The
BMM provides us with a Consistent Language to articulate
business strategy.
“The BMM is a technique in which one determines an ultimate
goal and determines the best strategy for attaining the goal in
the current situation”
Mission
Strategies
Tactics
Vision
Goals
Objectives
A statement describing the aims,
values and overall plan of an
organisation.
e.g. “To be the leading creator and
protector of wealth.”
The strategic plan.
e.g. “Defend our current
customer base to reduce churn
and increase repeat business”
A concise statement of a desired
change.
e.g. “To be the leading provider of
wealth management services in our
major target markets within the next 5
years.”
A high level statement of what the
plan will achieve.
e.g. “Improve customer satisfaction
(over the next five years)”
A Course of Action that channels
efforts towards objectives
e.g. “Call first-time customers
personally”
The outcome of projects improving
capabilities, process, assets, etc.
e.g. “Develop an operational
customer call centre by June 30, 2015”
23. P / 23
The Business Motivation Model Example
The Motivation Model resonates well with business sponsors
› Business Stakeholders can often
find business architecture models
difficult to understand
› The Business Motivation model
resonates well with business
stakeholders allowing us to talk in
Business terms
› Helps move away from point
solutions to focus on business
outcomes
25. P / 25
Validate and Refine
Business Goals
_ A Goal is a statement about a state or condition of the
enterprise to be brought about or sustained through
appropriate Means.
_ A Goal amplifies a Vision — that is, it indicates what must
be satisfied on a continuing basis to effectively attain the
Vision.
_ A Goal should be narrow — focused enough that it can
be quantified by Objectives.
_ A Vision, in contrast, is too broad or grand for it to be
specifically measured directly by Objectives.
However, determining whether a statement is a Vision or a
Goal is often impossible without in depth knowledge of the
context and intent of the business planners.
In light of the mission and vision and the
influencer pressures, validate and refine the
goals of the organisation
26. P / 26
Look for Levers
Derive a set of measurable levers of business value
and growth by cascading down the drivers of income
in your business.
_ The levers are intended to be durable even as business
strategy shifts.
Value levers indicate which business dimensions need
to be analysed for change projects.
_ Business consultants use the matrix to understand
which business architecture dimensions have the
greatest impact on each lever, focusing attention on
those dimensions most relevant to the levers in focus.
Look for levers that can help you
address the goals

4 – MAYBE MORE
Organisational Models For DG
PROCESS CENTRIC
Process owner(s) become(s) the data
owner for all data created, amended
& deleted by the business process for
which he / she is responsible.
DATA CENTRIC
Business appointed FT or PT roles
accountable for improvement of key
data domains wherever created or
used across an organisation, e.g. Data
Stewardship.
SYSTEMS CENTRIC
System owner(s) become(s) the data
owner for all data created, amended
& deleted by the system for which he /
she is responsible.
CONTINGENT
There is no single best model for data
governance, either when initiating
data improvement activities, or as
Business As Usual. The best model is
dependent on the type of data and
the circumstances of each initiative, at
each stage of maturity.

Organisations
DATA GOVERNANCE COUNCIL
The primary and highest authority organisation for data
governance. Includes senior managers serving as
executive data stewards, DM Leader and the CIO.
DATA STEWARDSHIP STEERING COMMITTEE
One or more cross-functional groups of coordinating data
stewards responsible for support and oversight of a
particular data management initiative.
DATA STEWARDSHIP TEAM
One or more business data stewards collaborating on an
area of data management, typically within an assigned
subject area, led by a Coordinating Data Steward.
DATA GOVERNANCE OFFICE
Exists in larger organisations to support the above teams.
36. P / 36
Data Stewards
EXECUTIVE DATA STEWARD
Senior Managers who serve on a Data Governance
Council.
COORDINATING DATA STEWARD
Leads and represents teams of business data stewards in
discussions across teams and with executive data stewards.
Coordinating data stewards are particularly important in
large organizations.

# projects / reused objects
Portfolio planning / design for reuse
Project by project / without reuse
Design for reuse: First projects hit a
“cost” as there is nothing in place
that can be re-used / leveraged for
benefit.
Project based accounting
discourages infrastructure
investment.
Seed Money: To not penalise initial projects,
but rather encourage them to do the “right
thing” for the corporation, seed money helps
with provision of resources, budget offset
etc.
Design for reuse: Once a few reusable
artefacts, models, Master Data
objects, reusable methods, skills etc.
are established, projects start to reap
big benefits
Design in isolation: Initially no
interaction outside the confines of “the
project” and just a few interfaces will
appear attractive as no wider
considerations need to be made
Design in isolation: Costs increase
dramatically with Increasing number
of point to point interfaces, undo-
redo work as clashes about data
concepts explode.

Why might DG fail?
_Lack of business leadership and commitment
_Failure to link Data Governance to
organisational goals and benefits
_Giving people data responsibility but not
equipping them to succeed
_Failure to focus on the data that really matters
_Placing too much emphasis on data monitoring
and not data improvement
_Thinking new technology will alone solve the
problems
_Forgetting Data Governance must embrace all
who use data across an organisation
_Not delivering benefits early and regularly

Summary
_ Business ownership is key
_ Communication is vital
_ Must connect and align Data Governance with business
motivations, strategies and goals – current & future
_ This is not simply an IT problem. Requires holistic solutions –
people, process, and technology
_ It’s essential to outline & communicate what success can
deliver and is delivering
_ Establish the current baseline and maturity
_ Deliver early & incrementally
_ Demonstrate success & real business benefits to sustain
business support
_ Ensure accountable people are equipped to succeed –
knowledge, methods & tools; training & mentoring
_ Stealth DG is possible – up to a point
