The Data Management Maturity (DMM) model is a framework for the evaluation and assessment of an organization’s data management capabilities. This model—based on the Capability Maturity Model pioneered by the U.S. Department of Defense for improving software development processes—allows an organization to evaluate its current state data management capabilities, discover gaps to remediate, and identify strengths to leverage. In doing so, this assessment method reveals organizational priorities, business needs, and a clear path for rapid process improvements.
In this webinar, we will:
- Describe the DMM model, its purpose and evolution, and how it can be used as a roadmap for assessing and improving organizational data management and data management maturity
- Discuss how to get the most out of a DMM assessment, including its dependencies and requirements for use
The document describes an upcoming webinar on the Data Management Maturity (DMM) model. The DMM is a framework that assesses an organization's data management capabilities and allows them to evaluate their current state, identify gaps, and guide improvements. The webinar will describe the DMM, how it evolved from previous research, and illustrate how it can be used as a roadmap for organizational data management improvements. It will be presented on August 9, 2016 from 2-3 PM ET by Melanie Mecca and Peter Aiken.
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.

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 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.
The document outlines a data governance capability model that includes core data management capabilities and cross-domain support disciplines. It lists the key functions of enterprise data governance such as providing oversight of data assets, assessing compliance, managing risks, and enhancing the value of data. Some of the core capabilities include master data management, metadata management, data lifecycle management, data security and privacy, and data quality management.
Data-Ed Online: Trends in Data ModelingDATAVERSITY
Businesses cannot compete without data. Every organization produces and consumes it. Data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, data vault, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental data issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data remediation effort. Instead, it is a vital activity that supports the solution driving your business.
This webinar will address emerging trends around data model application methodology, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Takeaways:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?
Integrating data models to business models and the value this creates
Application development (Data first, code first, object first)
Making data based decisions makes instinctive sense, and evidence is mounting that it makes strong commercial sense too.
Whilst being aware of this kind of potential is undoubtedly valuable, knowing it and doing something about it are two very different things.
So how do you go about becoming a data driven organization?
And how does the Data Management Maturity Assessment help in achieving your data strategy goals?

Data-Ed Webinar: Data Quality EngineeringDATAVERSITY
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
Data Quality guiding principles & best practices
Steps for improving data quality at your organization
1) MDM is the process of creating a single point of reference for highly shared types of data like customers, products, and suppliers. It links multiple data sources to ensure consistent policies for accessing, updating, and routing exceptions for master data.
2) Successful MDM requires defining business needs, setting up governance roles, designing flexible platforms, and engaging lines of business in incremental programs. Common challenges include lack of clear business cases and roadmaps.
3) Key aspects of MDM include modeling shared data, managing data quality, enabling stewardship of data, and integrating/propagating master data to operational systems in real-time or batch processes.
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:
• Knowing what data is available to support programs and other business functions
• Data is more difficult to access
• Without insight into the lineage of data, it is risky to use as the basis for critical decisions
• Analyzing data and extracting insights to influence outcomes is difficult at best
The solution to solving these challenges lies in creating a holistic enterprise data governance program and enforcing the program with a full-featured enterprise data management platform. Kreig Fields, Principle, Public Sector Data and Analytics, from North Highland Consulting and Rob Karel, Vice President, Product Strategy and Product Marketing, MDM from Informatica will walk through a pragmatic, “How To” approach, full of useful information on how you can improve your agency’s data governance initiatives.
Learn how to kick start your data governance intiatives and how an enterprise data management platform can help you:
• Innovate and expose hidden opportunities
• Break down data access barriers and ensure data is trusted
• Provide actionable information at the speed of business
Enterprise Data Management Framework OverviewJohn Bao Vuu
A solid data management foundation to support big data analytics and more importantly a data-driven culture is necessary for today’s organizations.

2. The Profisee presentation promotes their master data management solution for enabling digital transformation by providing a single view of critical data across systems.
3. Profisee's solution focuses on five key areas: stewardship, matching configuration, adjusting the configuration, operational matching, and workflow management to ensure data quality.
Data Systems Integration & Business Value PT. 3: Warehousing Data Blueprint
Certain systems are more data focused than others. Usually their primary focus is on accomplishing integration of disparate data. In these cases, failure is most often attributable to the adoption of a single pillar (silver bullet). The three webinars in the Data Systems Integration and Business Value series are designed to illustrate that good systems development more often depends on at least three DM disciplines (pie wedges) in order to provide a solid foundation.
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.

Fuel your Data-Driven Ambitions with Data GovernancePedro Martins
The document discusses the importance of data governance and provides an overview of how to implement an effective data governance program. It recommends obtaining executive sponsorship, aligning objectives to business initiatives, prioritizing initiatives, getting frameworks ready, and socializing the program. The document outlines data governance building blocks, including assessing maturity, developing a master plan, selecting tools, and establishing an organizational framework. It also discusses preparing an organization for success with data governance.
This presentation contains our view on how data can be Strategically managed and stewarded in an organization, and the categories where rules can be applied to facilitate that process.
This document introduces the Data Management Capability Model (DCAM) created by the Enterprise Data Management Council. The DCAM defines the capabilities required for effective data management. It addresses strategies, organization, technology, and operational best practices. The DCAM is organized into eight core components: data management strategy, business case, program, governance, architecture, technology architecture, data quality, and data operations. Each component defines goals and requirements for sustainable data management. The DCAM aims to help organizations assess their current data management capabilities and identify areas for improvement.
FTFCU - How to Become a Data Driven OrganizationNaveen Jain
The document discusses how organizations can become data-driven by learning tricks to simplify self-service BI rollouts, identifying potential pitfalls, and hearing from experts on enabling data-driven decision making. It also provides an example of how a large credit union implemented a business intelligence platform involving data visualization, marketing automation, and analytics tools to drive personalized engagement and operational excellence. Effective strategies discussed include taking an iterative approach, demonstrating value through visualization, and treating becoming data-driven as a journey rather than a single project.
Pluto7 - Tableau Webinar on enabling Organization to be Data Driven in 201...Manju Devadas
Big Data and BI initiatives needs a holistic strategy and execution. The content walks through how an organization became data driven in less than 6 months with Tableau, Alteryx, Splunk and traditional BI enabled by Pluto7 ( www.pluto7.com )
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.
Getting Data Quality Right
High quality data is important for organizational success, but achieving good data quality requires a programmatic approach. Data quality challenges are often the root cause of IT and business failures. To improve, organizations need to take a systems thinking approach, understand data issues over time, and not underestimate the role of culture. Developing repeatable data quality capabilities and expertise can help organizations identify problems, determine causes, and prevent future issues. Effective data quality engineering provides a framework for utilizing data to support business strategy and goals.

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.

-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.

- 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.
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Data Management Maturity
Achieving Best Practices using DMM
Copyright 2013 by Data Blueprint
Welcome: Data Management Maturity - Achieving Best Practices using DMM
The Data Management Maturity (DMM) model is a framework for
the evaluation and assessment of an organization's data
management capabilities. The model allows an organization to
evaluate its current state data management capabilities, discover
gaps to remediate, and strengths to leverage. The assessment
method reveals priorities, business needs, and a clear, rapid path
for process improvements. This webinar will describe the DMM,
its evolution, and illustrate its use as a roadmap guiding
organizational data management improvements.
Key Takeaways:
• Our profession is advancing its knowledge and has a wide
spread basis for partnerships
• New industry assessment standard is based on successful
CMM/CMMI foundation
• Clear need for data strategy
• A clear and unambiguous call for participation

• We have referenced the DMM
several times so far, and now we
need to provide some context
around this phrase. While all
improvement efforts begin with
the obligatory “assessment”
phase, Carnegie Mellon’s CMMI
and DMM are the only proven
frameworks that have the added
benefit of literally decades of
practice and benchmarking data
(Board, 2006). Organizations not
using the DMM risk an inability to
meaningfully compare results
against other organizations and,
as a result, adopt unproven
methods.

Motivation
• "We want to move our data management
program to the next level"
– Question: What level are you at now?
• You are currently managing your data,
– But, if you can't measure it,
– How can you manage it effectively?
• How do you know where to put time, money,
and energy so that data management best
supports the mission?
"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and
saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. Which road do I
take? she asked. Where do you want to go?
was his response. I don't know, Alice
answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn't
matter."

Starting the Journey - DMM Assessment Method
• To maximize the DMM’s value as a catalyst for forging shared
perspective and accelerating programs, our method provides:
– Collaboration launch event with a broad range of stakeholders
– Capabilities evaluated by consensus affirmations
– Solicits key business input through supplemental interviews
– Verifies evaluation with work product reviews (evidence)
– Report and executive briefing presents Scoring, Findings, Observations,
Strengths, and customized specific Recommendations.
To date, over 800 assessment participants from business, IT, and data management have employed DMM 1.0 - practice by
practice, work product by work product - to evaluate their capabilities.

improving how the state prices and sells its goods and services, and more efficiently matching
citizens to benefits when they enroll.
“The first year of our data internship partnership has been a success,” said Governor McAuliffe.
“The program has helped the state save time and money by making some of our internal
processes more efficient and modern. And it has given students valuable real-world experience. I
look forward to seeing what the second year of the program can accomplish.”
“Data is an important resource that becomes even more critical as technology progresses,” said
VCU President Michael Rao, Ph.D. “VCU is uniquely positioned, both in its location and
through the wealth of talent at the School of Business, to help state agencies run their data-
centric systems more efficiently, while giving our students hands-on practice in the development
of data systems.”
During their internships, pairs of VCU students work closely with state agency CIOs to identify
specific business cases in which data can be used. Participants gain practical experience in using
data to drive re-engineering, while participating CIOs have concrete examples of how to make
better use of data to provide innovative and less costly services to citizens.
"Working with the talented VCU students gave us a different perspective on what the data was
telling us,” said Dave Burhop, Deputy Commissioner/CIO of the Virginia Department of Motor
Vehicles.
“The VCU interns provided an invaluable resource to the Governor’s Coordinating Council on
Homelessness,” said Pamela Kestner, Special Advisor on Families, Children and Poverty.
“They very effectively reviewed the data assets available in the participating state agencies and
identified analytic content that can be used to better serve the homeless population.”
“It's always useful to have ‘fresh eyes’ on data that we are used to seeing,” said Jim Rothrock,
Commissioner of the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services. “Our interns challenged
us and the way we interpret data. It was a refreshing and useful, and we cannot wait for new
experiences with new students.”
The data internships support Governor McAuliffe’s ongoing initiative to provide easier access to
open data in Virginia. The internships also support treating data as an enterprise asset, one of
four strategic goals of the enterprise information architecture strategy adopted by the
Commonwealth in August 2013. Better use of data allows the Commonwealth to identify
opportunities to avoid duplicative costs in collecting, maintaining and using information; and to
integrate services across agencies and localities to improve responses to constituent needs and
optimize government resources.
Virginia Secretary of Technology Karen Jackson and CIO of the Commonwealth Nelson Moe
are leading the effort on behalf of the state. Students who want to apply for internships should
contact Peter Aiken (peter.aiken@vcu.edu) for additional information.
