The data governance function exercises authority and control over the management of your mission critical assets and guides how all other data management functions are performed. When selling data governance to organizational management, it is useful to concentrate on the specifics that motivate the initiative. This means developing a specific vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your organizational business concepts. This webinar provides you with an understanding of what data governance functions are required and how they fit with other data management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary pre-requisite to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and implement effective data governance and stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy.

DataEd Slides: Data Governance StrategiesDATAVERSITY
Much like project management and home improvements, Data Governance sounds a lot simpler than it actually is. In a nutshell, Data Governance can be explained as “managing data with guidance.” In general, the perceived utility of these programs increases with the specificity of desired data and processing improvements. Whether restarting or starting your Data Governance programs, it is critical to be guided by a periodically revised Data Strategy that links support for organizational strategy to specific operational data improvements. Understanding these and other aspects of governance is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds the implementation of effective Data Management and stewardship programs.
This webinar will:
- Illustrate what Data Governance functions are required for effective Data Management, how they fit with other Data Management practice areas, and why Data Governance has been tricky for many organizations
- Illustrate the utility of a detailed focus and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your business objectives and imperatives that demand governance
- Provide direction for selling Data Governance to organizational management as a specifically motivated initiative.

- Reorient the focus of Data Governance to an improvable process
- Recognize guiding principles and lessons learned
- Understand foundational Data Governance concepts based on the DAMA DMBOK
Mario Faria presents on helping HR professionals understand big data. He discusses the current situation of data fragmentation and complexity in organizations. Some common problems are lack of data ownership and governance. Hiring data professionals is challenging due to the variety of roles and skills required. The solution is to establish a chief data officer role to manage the people, processes, technology and methodology for a successful data and analytics program. HR and business leaders need to work together to attract and retain top data talent to help their organizations leverage data as a strategic asset.
Data-Ed Webinar: Data Governance StrategiesDATAVERSITY
Much like project team management and home improvement, Data Governance sounds a lot simpler than it actually is. In a nutshell, Data Governance is the process by which an organization delegates responsibility and exercises control over mission-critical data assets. In practice, though, Data Governance directs how all other Data Management functions are performed, meaning that much of your Data Management strategy’s capacity to function at all depends on your effectiveness in governing its implementation. Understanding these aspects of governance is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds effective Data Management and stewardship programs, since the goal of governance is to manage the data that supports organizational strategy.

Data-Ed Online Webinar: Business Value from MDMDATAVERSITY
This presentation provides you with an understanding of the goals of reference and master data management (MDM), including establishing and implementing authoritative data sources, establishing and implementing more effective means of delivery data to various business processes, as well as increasing the quality of information used in organizational analytical functions (such as BI). You will understand the parallel importance of incorporating data quality engineering into the planning of reference and MDM.

DataEd Slides: Data Strategy Best PracticesDATAVERSITY
Your Data Strategy should be concise, actionable, and understandable by business and IT! Data is not just another resource. It is your most powerful, yet poorly managed and therefore underutilized organizational asset. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Overcoming lack of talent, barriers in organizational thinking, and seven specific data sins are organizational prerequisites to be satisfied before (a measurable) nine out of 10 organizations can achieve the three primary goals of an organizational Data Strategy, which are to:
- Improve the way your people use data
- Improve the way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
- Improve your organization’s data
In this manner, your organizational Data Strategy can be used to best focus your data assets in precise support of your organization's strategic objectives. Once past the prerequisites, organizations must develop a disciplined, repeatable means of improving the data literacy, standards, and supply as business objectives in specific areas that become the foci of subsequent Data Governance efforts. 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 covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why Data Strategy is necessary for effective Data Governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective Data Strategy, as well as common pitfalls that can detract from its implementation, such as the “Seven Deadly Data Sins”
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints, and the importance of balancing business operation and innovation while doing so
Data is the lifeblood of just about every organization and functional area today. As businesses struggle to come to grips with the data flood, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance business unit performance. Unfortunately however, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approaches. Overall, poor organizational data management capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This webinar covers three lessons (illustrated by examples), which will help you to establish realistic OM plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers.

The document discusses the role of a Chief Data Officer in establishing a data governance structure and data quality management program. It notes that currently, data ownership and management is fragmented across different departments with no single party responsible. A CDO would create rules and policies for data governance, establish a data quality team, and ensure standards and accountability for high quality data as a strategic asset. This would help address issues like high costs of poor data quality and system failures due to bad data.

DataEd Slides: Expressing Data Improvements as Business OutcomesDATAVERSITY
Join us and learn how you can better align your Data Management projects with business objectives to justify funding and gain management approval. Failure to successfully monetize Data Management investments sets up an unfortunate loop of fixing symptoms without addressing the underlying problems. As organizations begin to understand that data practices are the root causes of many business problems, they become more willing to make the required investments. However, we need to also approach them. The No. 1 reason that data programs fail to deliver is that they do not set or measure specific objectives that are meaningful to management. While there are opportunities to assist at the project level, data improvements are better able to be leveraged at the organization level. An improvable, dedicated data program can only be achieved by repeated application of data practices in service of specific business objectives. Data improvements typically do not maintain an ROI calculation. ROIs expressed in terms that board/executive management cares about deeply ensure data program viability. Improving organizational execution of specific data practice improvements must lead directly to specific improvements in organizational KPIs. While organizations may not be currently practiced in this ability, it is quite easy to learn. This presentation uses a number of specific examples calculating the business impact of data improvements. Program learning objectives include:
• Coming to grips with the state of practice
• Understanding the need for a comparable baseline measure
• Seeing application in a number of contexts

The document discusses developing an effective data strategy. It begins by introducing Micheline Casey and Peter Aiken, experts in data strategy. It then discusses what a data strategy is, why it is important to have one, and key characteristics of an effective data strategy. The document outlines the process for developing a data strategy, including pre-planning, aligning with organizational goals, prioritizing initiatives, and performing assessments. It emphasizes the importance of implementing foundational data practices before advanced practices. The presentation concludes with discussing challenges to developing a data strategy and taking a question.
DataEd Slides: Data Strategy – Plans Are Useless but Planning Is InvaluableDATAVERSITY
A data strategy document outlines Peter Aiken's perspective on developing an effective data strategy. Some key points include:
- Effective data strategies require two phases - addressing prerequisites like organizational readiness and hiring qualified talent, and then ongoing iterations of planning.
- Data is one of the most valuable yet underutilized assets in many organizations. A data strategy is needed to specify how data supports organizational goals.
- Data governance provides guidance on managing data decisions and is necessary for an effective data strategy. The data strategy guides how data assets support the organizational strategy.
The Chief Data Officer's Agenda: What a CDO Needs to Know about Data QualityDATAVERSITY
This document summarizes a webinar on what a Chief Data Officer (CDO) needs to know about data quality. The webinar is moderated by Tony Shaw from DATAVERSITY and features Danette McGilvray from Granite Falls Consulting as the speaker. McGilvray will discuss the relationship between data quality, governance, and other data management functions. She will also cover options for structuring data quality programs within an organization and how a CDO can help both data quality programs and projects succeed.
DataEd Slides: Data Management Best PracticesDATAVERSITY
It is clear that Data Management best practices exist, and so does a useful process for improving existing Data Management practices. The question arises: Since we understand the goal, how does one design a process for Data Management goal achievement? This program describes what must be done at the programmatic level to achieve better data use and a way to implement this as part of your data program. The approach combines DMBoK content and CMMI/DMM processes — permitting organizations the opportunity to benefit from the best of both. It also permits organizations to understand:
• Their current Data Management practices
• Strengths that should be leveraged
• Remediation opportunities
RWDG Slides: Achieving Data Quality with Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
To improve Data Quality, organizations must focus on improving three data-related activities – the definition, production, and usage of the data. Formalizing accountability for these activities strengthens the stewards’ ability to influence improvements in the quality of the data.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner and his guest, Anthony J. Algmin, will share examples of how organizations have focused their Data Governance programs on achieving improvements in Data Quality. The delivery of the program must advocate and enhance the delivery of standards, validation, reporting, and data value improvement. You may be surprised by how that delivery can be simplified.
In this webinar, Bob will talk about:
• The relationship between Data Governance and Data Quality
• The activities of defining, producing, and using data
• Stewards influencing improvements in Data Quality
• Standardization and validation of data through Data Governance
• Simplifying Data Governance’s purpose toward Data Quality
Business Value Through Reference and Master Data StrategiesDATAVERSITY
Data tends to pile up and can be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance processes. Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for many organizational transactions — the master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (one-third succeeding on time, within budget, and achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach, typically involving Data Governance and Data Quality activities.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand foundational reference and MDM concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBoK)
• Understand why these are an important component of your Data Architecture
• Gain awareness of reference and MDM frameworks and building blocks
• Know what MDM guiding principles consist of and best practices
• Know how to utilize reference and MDM in support of business strategy
This document provides an introduction to big data concepts. It discusses the characteristics of big data, including volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value. Volume refers to the large amount of data being generated. Velocity refers to the speed at which data is created and needs to be analyzed. Variety means data comes in different forms like text, images, video. Veracity refers to the quality and reliability of data. Value means the usefulness of data for businesses. The document also covers challenges in analyzing big data and different technologies used like Hadoop, Spark and cloud computing.
DataEd Slides: Getting Data Quality Right – Success StoriesDATAVERSITY
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is “of sufficient quality.” This program provides a useful framework guiding those approaching Data Quality challenges. Specifically, Data Quality must be approached as an engineering discipline. Data Quality engineering must be approached as a specific ROI-based discipline or it cannot effectively support business strategy. Better understanding of how to “do Data Quality right” allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues. Program learning objectives include:
• Vivid demonstrations of how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in broader kinds of Data Quality that suggested treatments can address
• Helping you to understand foundational Data Quality concepts, guiding principles, best practices, and an improved approach to Data Quality at your organization
• The basis of a number of specific case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of Data Quality success
Data-Ed Webinar: Data Quality Strategies - From Data Duckling to Successful SwanDATAVERSITY
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of a high quality. Determining how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing data quality management effectively in support of business strategy, which in turn allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in data management, and proactive prevention of future issues.
Over the course of this webinar, we will:
Help you understand foundational data quality concepts based on the DAMA Guide to Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA DMBOK), as well as guiding principles, best practices, and steps for improving data quality at your organization
Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor data quality
Share case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of data quality success
Data-Ed Webinar: Data Quality Success StoriesDATAVERSITY
Organizations must realize what it means to utilize data quality management in support of business strategy. This webinar will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor data quality. Showing how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This in turn allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.
Takeaways:
•Understanding foundational data quality concepts based on the DAMA DMBOK
•Utilizing data quality engineering in support of business strategy
•Case Studies illustrating data quality success
•Data Quality guiding principles & best practices
•Steps for improving data quality at your organization
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.
ADV Slides: Organizational Change Management in Becoming an Analytic Organiza...DATAVERSITY
The disparity between expecting change and managing it – the “change gap” – is growing at an unprecedented pace. This has put many information management shops into traction as they initiate large, complex projects needed to stay competitive.
Information management professionals and business leaders must concern themselves with the organization’s acceptance of these efforts. To be successful in achieving the larger enterprise goals, these initiatives must transform the organization. However, it takes more than wishful thinking to bridge the gap.
The complexities of engaging behavioral and enterprise transformation are too often underestimated at great peril, because the “soft stuff” is truly hard. In this webinar, William McKnight will outline:
• The change readiness activities that focus on identifying and addressing people risks
• The tasks that will mobilize and align leaders to create outstanding business value
• The strategies to manage stakeholders, ensure change readiness, and address the organizational implications
• The methodologies to train the workforce as required to fully embrace and utilize the system

<p>Becoming a data-driven organization is something many companies aspire to, but few are able to obtain. Let’s face it: Data is confusing. It is complicated, dirty, and spread out all over a business. While companies are making big investments in Data Management projects, only a few are seeing the payoff. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>New research from Experian shows that despite many ongoing data initiatives, 69 percent of organizations struggle to be data-driven. The struggles are real. Companies face a large data debt, look at data projects through a siloed lens, and still have a large volume of inaccurate data. In fact, 65 percent report inaccurate data is undermining key initiatives. <br></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>However, the tide is turning. Businesses are starting to adopt data enablement, or a practice of empowering a larger group of individuals within the business to understand and harness the power of data and analytics. Companies that empower wider data usage are better able to comply with regulations, improve decision-making, and, of course, deliver a superior customer experience. Are these the results you’re striving for? </p>

A Presentation on Data Stewardship & Data Advocacy - the Benefits and Advantages of Implementing a Data Strategy for Businesses originally presented to the Directorial Team at Business Link North West and the North West Development Agency
The document discusses six key questions organizations should ask about data governance: 1) Do we have a government structure in place to oversee data governance? 2) How can we assess our current data governance situation? 3) What is our data governance strategy? 4) What is the value of our data? 5) What are our data vulnerabilities? 6) How can we measure progress in data governance? It provides details on each question, highlighting the importance of leadership, benchmarks, strategic planning, risk assessment, and metrics in developing an effective data governance program.
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.

It emphasizes the importance of implementing foundational data practices before advanced practices. The presentation concludes with discussing challenges to developing a data strategy and taking a question.
DataEd Slides: Data Strategy – Plans Are Useless but Planning Is InvaluableDATAVERSITY
A data strategy document outlines Peter Aiken's perspective on developing an effective data strategy. Some key points include:
- Effective data strategies require two phases - addressing prerequisites like organizational readiness and hiring qualified talent, and then ongoing iterations of planning.
- Data is one of the most valuable yet underutilized assets in many organizations. A data strategy is needed to specify how data supports organizational goals.
- Data governance provides guidance on managing data decisions and is necessary for an effective data strategy. The data strategy guides how data assets support the organizational strategy.
The Chief Data Officer's Agenda: What a CDO Needs to Know about Data QualityDATAVERSITY
This document summarizes a webinar on what a Chief Data Officer (CDO) needs to know about data quality. The webinar is moderated by Tony Shaw from DATAVERSITY and features Danette McGilvray from Granite Falls Consulting as the speaker. McGilvray will discuss the relationship between data quality, governance, and other data management functions. She will also cover options for structuring data quality programs within an organization and how a CDO can help both data quality programs and projects succeed.
DataEd Slides: Data Management Best PracticesDATAVERSITY
It is clear that Data Management best practices exist, and so does a useful process for improving existing Data Management practices. The question arises: Since we understand the goal, how does one design a process for Data Management goal achievement? This program describes what must be done at the programmatic level to achieve better data use and a way to implement this as part of your data program. The approach combines DMBoK content and CMMI/DMM processes — permitting organizations the opportunity to benefit from the best of both. It also permits organizations to understand:
• Their current Data Management practices
• Strengths that should be leveraged
• Remediation opportunities
RWDG Slides: Achieving Data Quality with Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
To improve Data Quality, organizations must focus on improving three data-related activities – the definition, production, and usage of the data. Formalizing accountability for these activities strengthens the stewards’ ability to influence improvements in the quality of the data.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner and his guest, Anthony J. Algmin, will share examples of how organizations have focused their Data Governance programs on achieving improvements in Data Quality. The delivery of the program must advocate and enhance the delivery of standards, validation, reporting, and data value improvement. You may be surprised by how that delivery can be simplified.
In this webinar, Bob will talk about:
• The relationship between Data Governance and Data Quality
• The activities of defining, producing, and using data
• Stewards influencing improvements in Data Quality
• Standardization and validation of data through Data Governance
• Simplifying Data Governance’s purpose toward Data Quality
Business Value Through Reference and Master Data StrategiesDATAVERSITY
Data tends to pile up and can be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance processes. Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for many organizational transactions — the master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (one-third succeeding on time, within budget, and achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach, typically involving Data Governance and Data Quality activities.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand foundational reference and MDM concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBoK)
• Understand why these are an important component of your Data Architecture
• Gain awareness of reference and MDM frameworks and building blocks
• Know what MDM guiding principles consist of and best practices
• Know how to utilize reference and MDM in support of business strategy
This document provides an introduction to big data concepts. It discusses the characteristics of big data, including volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value. Volume refers to the large amount of data being generated. Velocity refers to the speed at which data is created and needs to be analyzed. Variety means data comes in different forms like text, images, video. Veracity refers to the quality and reliability of data. Value means the usefulness of data for businesses. The document also covers challenges in analyzing big data and different technologies used like Hadoop, Spark and cloud computing.
DataEd Slides: Getting Data Quality Right – Success StoriesDATAVERSITY
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is “of sufficient quality.” This program provides a useful framework guiding those approaching Data Quality challenges. Specifically, Data Quality must be approached as an engineering discipline. Data Quality engineering must be approached as a specific ROI-based discipline or it cannot effectively support business strategy. Better understanding of how to “do Data Quality right” allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues. Program learning objectives include:
• Vivid demonstrations of how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in broader kinds of Data Quality that suggested treatments can address
• Helping you to understand foundational Data Quality concepts, guiding principles, best practices, and an improved approach to Data Quality at your organization
• The basis of a number of specific case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of Data Quality success
Data-Ed Webinar: Data Quality Strategies - From Data Duckling to Successful SwanDATAVERSITY
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of a high quality. Determining how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing data quality management effectively in support of business strategy, which in turn allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in data management, and proactive prevention of future issues.
Over the course of this webinar, we will:
Help you understand foundational data quality concepts based on the DAMA Guide to Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA DMBOK), as well as guiding principles, best practices, and steps for improving data quality at your organization
Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor data quality
Share case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of data quality success
Data-Ed Webinar: Data Quality Success StoriesDATAVERSITY
Organizations must realize what it means to utilize data quality management in support of business strategy. This webinar will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor data quality. Showing how data quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This in turn allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.
Takeaways:
•Understanding foundational data quality concepts based on the DAMA DMBOK
•Utilizing data quality engineering in support of business strategy
•Case Studies illustrating data quality success
•Data Quality guiding principles & best practices
•Steps for improving data quality at your organization
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.
ADV Slides: Organizational Change Management in Becoming an Analytic Organiza...DATAVERSITY
The disparity between expecting change and managing it – the “change gap” – is growing at an unprecedented pace. This has put many information management shops into traction as they initiate large, complex projects needed to stay competitive.
Information management professionals and business leaders must concern themselves with the organization’s acceptance of these efforts. To be successful in achieving the larger enterprise goals, these initiatives must transform the organization. However, it takes more than wishful thinking to bridge the gap.
The complexities of engaging behavioral and enterprise transformation are too often underestimated at great peril, because the “soft stuff” is truly hard. In this webinar, William McKnight will outline:
• The change readiness activities that focus on identifying and addressing people risks
• The tasks that will mobilize and align leaders to create outstanding business value
• The strategies to manage stakeholders, ensure change readiness, and address the organizational implications
• The methodologies to train the workforce as required to fully embrace and utilize the system

<p>Becoming a data-driven organization is something many companies aspire to, but few are able to obtain. Let’s face it: Data is confusing. It is complicated, dirty, and spread out all over a business. While companies are making big investments in Data Management projects, only a few are seeing the payoff. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>New research from Experian shows that despite many ongoing data initiatives, 69 percent of organizations struggle to be data-driven. The struggles are real. Companies face a large data debt, look at data projects through a siloed lens, and still have a large volume of inaccurate data. In fact, 65 percent report inaccurate data is undermining key initiatives. <br></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>However, the tide is turning. Businesses are starting to adopt data enablement, or a practice of empowering a larger group of individuals within the business to understand and harness the power of data and analytics. Companies that empower wider data usage are better able to comply with regulations, improve decision-making, and, of course, deliver a superior customer experience. Are these the results you’re striving for? </p>

A Presentation on Data Stewardship & Data Advocacy - the Benefits and Advantages of Implementing a Data Strategy for Businesses originally presented to the Directorial Team at Business Link North West and the North West Development Agency
The document discusses six key questions organizations should ask about data governance: 1) Do we have a government structure in place to oversee data governance? 2) How can we assess our current data governance situation? 3) What is our data governance strategy? 4) What is the value of our data? 5) What are our data vulnerabilities? 6) How can we measure progress in data governance? It provides details on each question, highlighting the importance of leadership, benchmarks, strategic planning, risk assessment, and metrics in developing an effective data governance program.
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.
1. A customer sets up an RFID card linked to their social media account and allows their shopping activity to be shared. 2. When making purchases in store, the cashier collects the customer's phone number and scans product RFID tags. 3. The customer's purchase history, contacts, and social media data are aggregated for marketing analysis to identify trends.
Engage 2013 - Data Governance + Standards Webtrends
Kevin Jemison of Hilton Worldwide discusses the importance of data governance and standards. He defines data governance as bringing order to chaos and creating a culture of competence by establishing rules and processes for data. Good governance provides a framework for consistent, reliable measurement across efforts. Its benefits include avoiding false confidence and increased costs without benefits. Achieving governance requires evaluating current processes, designing an ideal framework with input from the organization, and strategizing, prioritizing and executing ongoing improvements with education. Governance is not a one-time effort but an ongoing process for better analytics and organizational effectiveness.

The data governance function exercises authority and control over the management of your mission critical assets and guides how all other data management functions are performed. When selling data governance to organizational management, it is useful to concentrate on the specifics that motivate the initiative. This means developing a specific vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your organizational business concepts. This webinar provides you with an understanding of what data governance functions are required and how they fit with other data management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary pre-requisite to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and implement effective data governance and stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy.

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
The Data Driven University - Automating Data Governance and Stewardship in Au...Pieter De Leenheer
The document discusses implementing data governance and stewardship programs at universities. It provides examples of programs at Stanford University, George Washington University, and in the Flanders region of Belgium. The key aspects covered are:
- Establishing a data governance framework with roles, processes, asset definitions. and oversight council.
- Implementing data stewardship activities like data quality management, metadata development, and reference data management.
- Stanford's program established foundations for institutional research through data quality and context definitions.
- George Washington runs a centralized program managed by the IT governance office.
- The Flanders program provides research information and services across universities through consistent definitions, roles and collaborative workflows.
The document discusses best practices for data governance and stewardship. It recommends starting with cataloging all data assets, identifying current and future states, and planning governance roles and processes. It then provides details on assessing data quality, cleaning data, and establishing a data governance team with roles like stewards and custodians. It emphasizes the importance of data lifecycles and having the right data at the right time to drive business goals.
We are in the middle of a data flood and we need to figure out how to tame it without drowning. Most of what has been written about Big Data is focused on selling hardware and services. But what about a Big Data Strategy that guides hardware and software decisions? While virtually every major organization is faced with the challenge of figuring out the approach for and the requirements of this new development, jumping into the fray hastily and unprepared will only reproduce the same dismal IT project results as previously experienced. Join Dr. Peter Aiken as he will debunk a number of misconceptions about Big Data as your un-typical IT project. He will provide guidance on how to establish realistic Big Data management plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers without getting lost in the hype.

The document summarizes Joseph M. Juran's quality management trilogy. The trilogy involves three processes: quality planning, quality control, and quality improvement. Quality planning establishes goals and processes to meet customer needs. Quality control evaluates performance against goals and acts on differences. Quality improvement identifies and implements projects to diagnose and remedy issues and sustain gains. The trilogy provides a framework for organizations to continuously improve quality and business results through better understanding the relationships between planning, controlling, and improving processes.
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

Data Governance Strategies - With Great Power Comes Great AccountabilityDATAVERSITY
Much like project team management and home improvement, data governance sounds a lot simpler than it actually is. In a nutshell, data governance is the process by which an organization delegates responsibility and exercises control over mission-critical data assets. In practice, though, data governance directs how all other data management functions are performed, meaning that much of your data management strategy’s capacity to function at all depends on your effectiveness in governing its implementation. Understanding these aspects of governance is necessary to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds effective data management and stewardship programs, since the goal of governance is to manage the data that supports organizational strategy.
This webinar will:
-Illustrate what data governance functions are required for effective data management, how they fit with other data management disciplines, and why data governance can be tricky for many organizations
-Help you develop a detailed vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your business objectives and imperatives that demand governance
-Provide direction for selling data governance to organizational management as a specifically motivated initiative
Data-Ed Webinar: Monetizing Data Management - Show Me the MoneyDATAVERSITY
Practicality and profitability may share a page in the dictionary, but incorporating both into a data management plan can prove challenging. Many data professionals struggle to demonstrate tangible returns on data management investments, especially in industries such as healthcare where financial results aren’t necessarily an organization’s primary concern. The key to “monetizing” data management, therefore, is thinking about data in a different way: as an information solution rather than simply an IT one, using data to drive decision-making towards increased profits and potentially alternative returns on investment or value outcomes as well. Taking a broader view of data assets facilitates easier sharing of information across organizational silos, and allows for a wider understanding of the investment’s requirements and benefits.
In this webinar—designed to appeal to both business and IT attendees—your presenter will:
Describe multiple types of value produced through data-centric development and management practices
Expand on and beyond metrics meant for increasing revenues or decreasing costs—i.e. investments that directly impact an organization’s financial position
Detail how alternative statistics and valuations can be used to justify data management and quality initiatives

DataEd Slides: Approaching Data Governance StrategicallyDATAVERSITY
At its core, Data Governance (DG) is: managing data with guidance. This immediately provokes the question: Would you tolerate your data managed without guidance? (In all likelihood, your organization has been managing data without adequate guidance and this accounts for its current, less-than-optimal state.) This program provides a practical guide to implementing DG or recharging your existing program. It provides your organization with an understanding of what Data Governance functions are required and how they fit with other Data Management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary prerequisite to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and implement effective Data Governance/Stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy. Program learning objectives include:
• Understanding why Data Governance can be tricky for organizations due to data’s confounding characteristics
• Strategy No. 1: Keeping DG practically focused
• Strategy No. 2: DG must exist at the same level as HR
• Strategy No. 3: Gradually add ingredients
• Data Governance in action: storytelling
This document outlines a presentation on developing a data-centric strategy and roadmap. It discusses the importance of aligning data management goals to business needs through frameworks like Porter's competitive strategies and operating models. Metrics and success criteria must be defined by collaborating with business partners to measure improvements in specific opportunities. An example shows how a chemical company defined objects of measurement and metrics to quantify increased efficiency from a data integration solution. Developing a holistic solution requires understanding a business's competitive advantage, goals and needs.

Webinar: Maximizing Your Potential with Data LeadershipDATAVERSITY
Data is everywhere in today’s businesses, and there are countless things for the data professional to do! It can be overwhelming to figure out what we should be doing now, tomorrow, and further down the road. Data Leadership helps us simplify, prioritize, and ultimately find the direction we need.
The value that comes from data can impact an organization in three fundamental ways: increasing revenues, decreasing costs, and managing risk. Data professionals are tasked to optimize data’s impact on these. But knowing our goals—versus how to best achieve them—are two very different things.
The Data Leadership Framework guides us in sorting out the dozens of choices to determine the best actions to take, no matter where we are in our data journey. Attend this DATAVERSITY webinar to start maximizing data value with Data Leadership!
Many data professionals struggle with the ability to demonstrate tangible returns on data management investments. In a webinar that is designed to appeal to both business and IT attendees, your presenter Dr. Peter Aiken will describe multiple types of value produced through data-centric development and management practices. One of our examples, the healthcare space, offers the unique opportunity to demonstrate additional types of return on investment or value outcomes, namely returns in the form of lives saved through increased rates of Bone Marrow Donor matches. In addition to metrics around increasing revenues or decreasing costs, i.e. investments that directly impact an organization’s financial position, these additional statistics of lives saved can be used to justify data management and quality initiatives.

Smart small and go for quick wins: Build momentum and support
Data is the lifeblood of just about every organization and functional area today. As businesses struggle to come to grips with the data flood, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance business unit performance. Unfortunately however, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approaches. Overall, poor organizational data management capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This webinar covers three lessons (illustrated by examples), which will help you to establish realistic OM plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers.
Takeaways:
- Organizational thinking must change: Value-added data management practices must be considered and included as a vital part of your business strategy.
- Walk before you run with data focused initiatives: Understand and implement necessary data management prerequisites as a foundation, then build upon that foundation.
- There are no silver bullets: Tools alone are not the answer. Specifying business requirements, business practices and data governance are almost always more important.
Federated data organizations in public sector face more challenges today than ever before. As discovered via research performed by North Highland Consulting, these are the top issues you are most likely experiencing:

Data Governance — Aligning Technical and Business ApproachesDATAVERSITY
Data Governance can have a varied definition, depending on the audience. To many, data governance consists of committee meetings and stewardship roles. To others, it focuses on technical data management and controls. Holistic data governance combines both of these aspects, and a robust data architecture and associated diagrams can be the “glue” that binds business and IT governance together. Join this webinar for practical tips and hands-on exercises for aligning data architecture & data governance for business and IT success.
Integrating data across systems has been a perpetual challenge. Unfortunately, the current technology-focused solutions have not helped IT to improve its dismal project success statistics. Data warehouses, BI implementations, and general analytical efforts achieve the same levels of success as other IT projects – approximately 1/3rd are considered successes when measured against price, schedule, or functionality objectives. The first step is determining the appropriate analysis approach to the data system integration challenge. The second step is understanding the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. Turns out that proper analysis at this stage makes actual technology selection far more accurate. Only when these are accomplished can proper matching between problem and capabilities be achieved as the third step and true business value be delivered. This webinar will illustrate that good systems development more often depends on at least three data management disciplines in order to provide a solid foundation.

Data system integration challenge analysis
Understanding of a range of data system-integration technologies including
Problem space (BI, Analytics, Big Data), Data (Warehousing, Vault, Cube) and alternative approaches (Virtualization, Linked Data, Portals, Meta-models)
Understanding foundational data warehousing & BI concepts based on the Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK)
How to utilize data warehousing & BI in support of business strategy
In many organizations and functional areas, data has pulled even with money in terms of what makes the proverbial world go round. As businesses struggle to cope with the 21st century’s newfound data flood, it is more important than ever before to prioritize data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives. However, while organizations across most industries make some attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. Data Quality), the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations. At the root of many of these failures is poor organizational Data Management—which fortunately is a remediable problem.
This webinar will cover three lessons, each illustrated with examples, that will help you establish realistic goals and benchmarks for Data Management processes and communicate their value to both internal and external decision-makers:
How organizational thinking must change to include value-added Data Management practices
The importance of walking before you run with data-focused initiatives
Prioritizing specification and Data Governance over “silver bullet” analytical tools
Discuss foundational data-centric concepts based on “The DAMA Guide to the Data Management Body of Knowledge” (DAMA DMBOK)

Architecture, Products, and Total Cost of Ownership of the Leading Machine Le...DATAVERSITY
Organizations today need a broad set of enterprise data cloud services with key data functionality to modernize applications and utilize machine learning. They need a comprehensive platform designed to address multi-faceted needs by offering multi-function data management and analytics to solve the enterprise’s most pressing data and analytic challenges in a streamlined fashion.
In this research-based session, I’ll discuss what the components are in multiple modern enterprise analytics stacks (i.e., dedicated compute, storage, data integration, streaming, etc.) and focus on total cost of ownership.
A complete machine learning infrastructure cost for the first modern use case at a midsize to large enterprise will be anywhere from $3 million to $22 million. Get this data point as you take the next steps on your journey into the highest spend and return item for most companies in the next several years.
Data at the Speed of Business with Data Mastering and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Do you ever wonder how data-driven organizations fuel analytics, improve customer experience, and accelerate business productivity? They are successful by governing and mastering data effectively so they can get trusted data to those who need it faster. Efficient data discovery, mastering and democratization is critical for swiftly linking accurate data with business consumers. When business teams can quickly and easily locate, interpret, trust, and apply data assets to support sound business judgment, it takes less time to see value.
Join data mastering and data governance experts from Informatica—plus a real-world organization empowering trusted data for analytics—for a lively panel discussion. You’ll hear more about how a single cloud-native approach can help global businesses in any economy create more value—faster, more reliably, and with more confidence—by making data management and governance easier to implement.
What is data literacy? Which organizations, and which workers in those organizations, need to be data-literate? There are seemingly hundreds of definitions of data literacy, along with almost as many opinions about how to achieve it.
In a broader perspective, companies must consider whether data literacy is an isolated goal or one component of a broader learning strategy to address skill deficits. How does data literacy compare to other types of skills or “literacy” such as business acumen?
This session will position data literacy in the context of other worker skills as a framework for understanding how and where it fits and how to advocate for its importance.

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.

-Positioning the data catalog for success
-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.
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.
Data Governance Trends - A Look Backwards and ForwardsDATAVERSITY
As DATAVERSITY’s RWDG series hurdles into our 12th year, this webinar takes a quick look behind us, evaluates the present, and predicts the future of Data Governance. Based on webinar numbers, hot Data Governance topics have evolved over the years from policies and best practices, roles and tools, data catalogs and frameworks, to supporting data mesh and fabric, artificial intelligence, virtualization, literacy, and metadata governance.
Join Bob Seiner as he reflects on the past and what has and has not worked, while sharing examples of enterprise successes and struggles. In this webinar, Bob will challenge the audience to stay a step ahead by learning from the past and blazing a new trail into the future of Data Governance.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Data Governance’s past, present, and future
- How trials and tribulations evolve to success
- Leveraging lessons learned to improve productivity
- The great Data Governance tool explosion
- The future of Data Governance
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. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time-to-value.

IT Governance:
• "putting structure around how organizations align IT strategy with business strategy,
ensuring that companies stay on track to achieve their strategies and goals, and
implementing good ways to measure IT’s performance.
• It makes sure that all stakeholders’ interests
are taken into account and that processes
provide measurable results.
• An IT governance framework should
answer some key questions, such
as how the IT department is functioning
overall, what key metrics management
needs and what return IT is giving back
to the business from the investment it’s
making." CIO Magazine (May 2007)

21. Supplemental: CMMI Data Strategy Elements
The data management strategy defines the overall framework of the
program. A data management strategy typically includes:
• A vision statement, which includes core operating principles; goals
and objectives; priorities, based on a synthesis of factors
important to the organization, such as business value, degree of
support for strategic initiatives, level of effort, and dependencies
• Program scope – including both key business areas (e.g.
Customer Accounts); data management priorities (e.g. Data
Quality); and key data sets (e.g. Customer Master Data)
• Business benefits
– The selected data management framework and how it will be used
– High-level roles and responsibilities
– Governance needs
– Description of the approach used to develop the data management program
– Compliance approach and measures
– High-level sequence plan (roadmap).

24. 7 Data Governance Definitions
• The formal orchestration of people, process, and technology to enable an
organization to leverage data as an enterprise asset. - The MDM Institute
• A convergence of data quality, data management, business process
management, and risk management surrounding the handling of data in an
organization – Wikipedia
• 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
• The execution and enforcement of authority over the management of data
assets and the performance of data functions – KiK Consulting
• A quality control discipline for assessing, managing, using, improving,
monitoring, maintaining, and protecting organizational information – IBM Data
Governance Council
• Data governance is the formulation of policy to optimize, secure, and leverage
information as an enterprise asset by aligning the objectives of multiple functions
– Sunil Soares
• The exercise of authority and control over the management of data assets – DM

Data Management Functions
26. 5 Requirements for Effective DG
Data governance is a set of well-defined policies and practices
designed to ensure that data is:
1. Accessible
– Can the people who need it access the data they need?
– Does the data match the format the user requires?
2. Secure
– Are authorized people the only ones who can access the data?
– Are non-authorized users prevented from accessing it?
3. Consistent
– When two users seek the "same" piece of data, is it actually
the same data?
– Have multiple versions been rationalized?
4. High Quality
– Is the data accurate?
– Has it been conformed to meet agreed standards
5. Auditable
– Where did the data come from?
– Is the lineage clear?
– Does IT know who is using it and for what purpose?

27. Organizational Data Governance Purpose Statement
• What does data governance
mean to my organization?
– Managing data with guidance
– Getting some individuals
(whose opinions matter)
– To form a body (needs a
formal purpose/authority)
– Who will advocate/evangelize
for (not dictate, enforce, rule)
– Increasing scope and rigor of

• Data Governance
– Policy level guidance
– Setting general guidelines
and direction
– Example: All information not
marked public should be
considered confidential
• Data Management
– The business function of
planning
for, controlling and delivering
data/information assets
– Example: Delivering data
to solve business challenges

current processes and
determining where to make
improvements.

44. Why is Data Governance Important?
Cost organizations millions each year in
• Productivity
• Redundant and siloed efforts
• Poorly thought out hardware
and software purchases
• Reactive instead of
proactive initiatives
• Delayed decision making
using inadequate information
• 20-40% of IT spending can
be reduced through better
data governance

46. Application-Centric Development
Original articulation from Doug Bagley @ Walmart
• In support of strategy, organizations
develop specific goals/objectives
• The goals/objectives drive the development
of specific systems/applications
• Development of systems/applications leads
to network/infrastructure requirements
• Data/information are typically considered
after the systems/applications and network/
infrastructure have been articulated
• Problems with this approach:
– Ensures data is formed to the applications and
not around the organizational-wide information
requirements
– Process are narrowly formed around applications
– Very little data reuse is possible

47. What does it mean to treat data
as an organizational asset?
• An asset is a resource controlled
by the organization as a result of
past events or transactions and
from which future economic
benefits are expected to flow to
the organization [Wikipedia]
• Assets are economic resources
– Must own or control
– Must use to produce value
– Value can be converted into cash
• As assets:
– Formalize the care and feeding of
data
– Put data to work in unique and
significant ways

49. Data-Centric Development
Original articulation from Doug Bagley @ Walmart
• In support of strategy, the organization
develops specific goals/objectives
• The goals/objectives drive the development
of specific data/information assets with an
eye to organization-wide usage
• Network/infrastructure components are
developed to support organization-wide use
of data
• Development of systems/applications is
derived from the data/network architecture
• Advantages of this approach:
– Data/information assets are developed from an
organization-wide perspective
– Systems support organizational data needs
and compliment organizational process flows
– Maximum data/information reuse

MONETIZING
DATA MANAGEMENT
Unlocking the Value in Your Organization’s
Most Important Asset.
When our organizations transform to a data-centric approach, we
begin to measure success differently than we did before—same
project, same process, but with different measures that include:
• asking if our data is correct;
• valuing data more than valuing "on time and within budget;"
• valuing correct data more than correct process; and
• auditing data rather than project documents. - Linda Bevolo

80. Business Implications
• National Stock Number (NSN)
Discrepancies
– If NSNs in LUAF, GABF, and RTLS are
not present in the MHIF, these records
cannot be updated in SASSY
– Additional overhead is created to correct
data before performing the real
maintenance of records
• Serial Number Duplication
– If multiple items are assigned the same
serial number in RTLS, the traceability of
those items is severely impacted
– Approximately $531 million of SAC 3
items have duplicated serial numbers
• On-Hand Quantity Discrepancies
– If the LUAF O/H QTY and number of items serialized in RTLS conflict, there can
be no clear answer as to how many items a unit actually has on-hand
– Approximately $5 billion of equipment does not tie out between the LUAF and
RTLS

82. Barclays Excel Spreadsheet Horror
• Barclays preparing to buy Lehman’s
Brothers assets.
• 179 dodgy Lehman’s contracts were

Barclays because of an Excel
spreadsheet reformatting error
• A first-year associate reformatted an
Excel contracts spreadsheet
– Predictably, this work was done long
after normal business hours, just after
11:30 p.m...
• The Lehman/Barclays sale closed
on September 22nd
• the 179 contracts were marked as
“hidden” in Excel, and those entries
became “un-hidden” when when
globally reformatting the document.

CLUMSY typing cost a Japanese bank at
least £128 million and staff their
Christmas bonuses yesterday, after a
trader mistakenly sold 600,000 more
shares than he should have. The trader
at Mizuho Securities, who has not been
named, fell foul of what is known in
financial circles as “fat finger syndrome”
where a dealer types incorrect details
into his computer. He wanted to sell one
share in a new telecoms company called
J Com, for 600,000 yen (about £3,000).

90. Take Aways
• Need for DG is increasing
– Increase in data volume
– Lack of practice improvement
• DG is a new discipline
– Must conform to constraints
– No one best way
• DG must be driven by a data
strategy complimenting
organizational strategy
• Comparing DG frameworks
can be useful
• DG directs data management
efforts
• The language of DG is
metadata
• Process improvement can
improve DG practices

MONETIZING
DATA MANAGEMENT
Unlocking the Value in Your Organization’s
Most Important Asset.
94. Supplemental: Data Governance Checklist
• Decision-Making Authority
– Assign appropriate levels of authority to data stewards
– Proactively define scope and limitations of that authority
• Standard Policies and Procedures
– Adopt and enforce clear policies and procedures in a written data
stewardship plan to ensure that everyone understands the importance of
data quality and security
– Helps to motivate and empower staff to implement DG
• Data Inventories
– Conduct inventory of all data that require protection
– Maintain up-to-date inventory of all sensitive records and data systems
– Classify data by sensitivity to identify focus areas for security efforts
• Data Content Management
– Closely manage data content to justify the collection of sensitive data,
optimize data management processes and ensure compliance with
federal, state, and local regulations

95. Supplemental: Data Governance Checklist, cont’d
• Data Records Management
– Specify appropriate managerial and user activities related to handling data to
provide data stewards and users with appropriate tools for complying with an
organization’s security policies
• Data Quality
– Ensure that data are accurate, relevant, timely, and complete for their intended
purposes
– Key to maintaining high quality data is a proactive approach to DG that requires
establishing and regularly updating strategies for preventing, detecting, and
correcting errors and misuses of data
• Data Access
– Define and assign differentiated levels of data access to individuals based on
their roles and responsibilities
– This is critical to prevent unauthorized access and minimize risk of data breaches
• Data Security and Risk Management
– Ensure the security of sensitive and personally identifiable data and mitigate the
risks of unauthorized disclosure of these data
– Top priority for effective data governance plan

96. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
1. Buy-in but not Committing:
Business vs. IT
– Business needs to do more
– Data governance tasks need
to recognized as priority
– Without a real business-resource commitment, data governance
takes a backseat and will never be implemented effectively
2. Ready, Fire, Aim
– Good: Create governance steering committee
(business representatives from across enterprise)
and separate governance working group (data stewards)
– Problem: Often get the timing wrong: Panels are formed and people
are assigned BEFORE they really understand the scope of the data
governance and participants’ roles and responsibilities
– Prematurely organize management framework and realize you
need a do-over = Guaranteed way to stall DG initiative

97. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
3. Trying to Solve World Hunger or Boil the Ocean
• Trap 1: Trying to solve all organizational data
problems in initial project phase
• Trap 2: Starting with biggest data problems (highly political issues)
• Almost impossible to establish a DG program while tacking data problems
that have taken years to build up
• Instead: “Think globally and act locally”: break data problems down into
incremental deliverables
• “Too big too fast” = Recipe for disaster
4. The Goldilocks Syndrome
• Encountering things that are either one
extreme or another
• Either the program is too high-level and
substantive issues are never dealt with or it
attempts to create definitions and rules for every field and table
• Need to find happy compromise that enables DG initiatives to create real
business value

98. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
5. Committee Overload
• Good: People of various business units and
departments get involved in the governance process
• Bad: more people -> more politics -> more watered down
governance responsibilities
• To be successful, limit committee sizes to 6-12 people and ensure
that members have decision-making authority
6. Failure to Implement
• DG efforts won’t produce any business value if
data definitions, business rules and KPIs are
created but not used in any processes
• Governance process needs to be a complete feedback loop in which
data is defined, monitored, acted upon, and changed when
appropriate
• Also important: Establish ongoing communication about governance
to prevent business users going back to old habits

99. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
7.Not Dealing with Change Management
• Business and IT processes need to be
changed for enterprise DG to be successful
• Need for change management is seldom addressed
• Challenges: people/process issues and internal politics
8.Assuming that Technology Alone is the Answer
• Purchasing MDM, data integration or data quality
software to support DG programs is not the solution
• Combination of vendor hype and high
price tags set high expectations
• Internal interactions are what make
or break data governance efforts

100. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
9.Not Building Sustainable and Ongoing
Processes
• Initial investment in time, money
and people may be accurate
• Many organizations don’t establish a budget, resource
commitments or design DG processes with an eye toward
sustaining the governance effort for the long term
10.Ignoring “Data Shadow Systems”
• Common mistake: focus on “systems
of record” and BI systems, assuming
that all important data can be found there
• Often, key information is located in “data shadow systems”
scattered through organization
• Don’t ignore such additional deposits of information
