If Data Governance is the execution and enforcement of authority over the management of data and data-related assets, what is Information Governance? How are they the same and how do they differ? This is a question pondered by the greatest minds in Data Management. And there is no correct answer.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s RWDG webinar where he will compare Data and Information Governance and share situations when it is makes sense to call it one over the other. Most organizations name their program after they select exactly what will be governed and how that governed “stuff” will be used. What are you governing?
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
- Describing what it means to “Govern” something
- How to define Governance in both contexts
- Differences between Data and Information Governance
- How to select what to call your program
- Why what you call your program matters … or does it?
This document discusses the development of a data strategy for an organization. It begins by introducing the presenter and organization. It then covers why a data strategy is needed to address common data issues. The strategy should define what the data team will and will not do. Developing the strategy requires gathering information, consulting other teams, and linking it to the organization's mission. Key aspects of the strategy include objectives, principles, delivery areas, and ensuring it is concise enough to be accessible and remembered.
How to Strengthen Enterprise Data Governance with Data QualityDATAVERSITY
If your organization is in a highly-regulated industry – or relies on data for competitive advantage – data governance is undoubtedly a top priority. Whether you’re focused on “defensive” data governance (supporting regulatory compliance and risk management) or “offensive” data governance (extracting the maximum value from your data assets, and minimizing the cost of bad data), data quality plays a critical role in ensuring success.
Join our webinar to learn how enterprise data quality drives stronger data governance, including:
The overlaps between data governance and data quality
The “data” dependencies of data governance – and how data quality addresses them
Key considerations for deploying data quality for data governance
Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program

The Role of Data Governance in a Data StrategyDATAVERSITY
A Data Strategy is a plan for moving an organization towards a more data-driven culture. A Data Strategy is often viewed as a technical exercise. A modern and comprehensive Data Strategy addresses more than just the data; it is a roadmap that defines people, process, and technology. The people aspect includes governance, the execution and enforcement of authority, and formalization of accountability over the management of the data.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share where Data Governance fits into an effective Data Strategy. As part of the strategy, the program must focus on the governance of people, process, and technology fixated on treating and leveraging data as a valued asset. Join us to learn about the role of Data Governance in a Data Strategy.
Bob will address the following in this webinar:
- A structure for delivery of a Data Strategy
- How to address people, process, and technology in a Data Strategy
- Why Data Governance is an important piece of a Data Strategy

Business intelligence (BI) refers to processes, technologies, and tools used to transform data into insights. BI allows organizations to gather data from various sources, analyze it, and use the insights to make better strategic, tactical, and operational decisions. Key components of BI include data warehousing, online transaction processing, and online analytical processing. The goal of BI is to provide the right information to the right decision-makers at the right time through dashboards, reports, forecasts, and other visualizations.
John Easton, Director of Product Management & Strategic Relations at Maximizer and Craig Vivier from Vineyardsoft Corporation provide an overview of how to transform your business into a data driven organization.
A data-driven organization is one in which critical business data automatically drives the decisions and actions of your business. It is about giving voice to your data with the goal of moving away from wading through volumes of reports or making decisions on gut feel.
Real-World DG Webinar: A Data Governance Framework for Success DATAVERSITY
A Data Governance Framework must include best practices, a practical set of roles & responsibilities for Data Governance built specifically for your organization, a plan for communicating with the entire organization and an action plan for applying governance in effective and measurable ways.
Join Bob Seiner for this Real-World Data Governance webinar as he discusses how to stay practical and work within the culture of your organization to develop and deliver a Data Governance Framework to meet your specifications and the business’ expectations.
This session will focus on:
Defining a Non-Invasive Operating Model of Roles & Responsibilities
Clearly Stating the Difference between Executive, Strategic, Tactical, Operational & Supporting Roles
Defining Data Stewards, Data Stewardship and How to Steward the Data
Recognizing & Identifying People into Roles Rather than Handing them to People as New Responsibilities

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.
Enterprise Data Governance for Financial InstitutionsSheldon McCarthy
This document discusses data governance for financial institutions. It covers topics such as metadata management, master data management, data quality management, and data privacy and security. Data governance involves planning, defining standards, assigning accountability, classifying data, and managing data quality. It helps protect sensitive information and enables more effective data use. Master data management brings together business rules, procedures, roles, and policies to research and implement controls around an organization's data. Data quality management establishes roles, responsibilities, and business rules to address existing data problems and prevent potential issues.
RWDG Slides: Building a Data Governance RoadmapDATAVERSITY
A Data Governance roadmap is typically based on the results of a best practice assessment. The assessment defines the outcomes required to achieve Data Governance best practices while the roadmap details the “actionable streams” required to formalize a Data Governance program and achieve those outcomes.
In this month’s webinar, Bob Seiner will share the process he follows to build a Data Governance roadmap of actionable streams and the steps required to complete the streams. In addition, Bob will describe the activities that are common to most organizations getting started or evaluating the success of their program.
Topics to be discussed in this webinar include:
• Criteria for defining best practices
• Using the assessment results to build the roadmap
• Examples of repeated actionable streams
• The role of the program administrator in executing the roadmap
• Communicating the roadmap to the stakeholders
Tackling Data Quality problems requires more than a series of tactical, one-off improvement projects. By their nature, many Data Quality problems extend across and often beyond an organization. Addressing these issues requires a holistic architectural approach combining people, process, and technology. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide practical ways to control Data Quality issues in your organization.
Data Profiling, Data Catalogs and Metadata HarmonisationAlan McSweeney
These notes discuss the related topics of Data Profiling, Data Catalogs and Metadata Harmonisation. It describes a detailed structure for data profiling activities. It identifies various open source and commercial tools and data profiling algorithms. Data profiling is a necessary pre-requisite activity in order to construct a data catalog. A data catalog makes an organisation’s data more discoverable. The data collected during data profiling forms the metadata contained in the data catalog. This assists with ensuring data quality. It is also a necessary activity for Master Data Management initiatives. These notes describe a metadata structure and provide details on metadata standards and sources.
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
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Data Governance FrameworkDATAVERSITY
A worthwhile Data Governance framework includes the core component of a successful program as viewed by the different levels of the organization. Each of the components is addressed at each of the levels, providing insight into key ideas and terminology used to attract participation across the organization. A framework plays a key role in setting up and sustaining a Data Governance program.
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will share two frameworks. The first is a basic cross-reference of components and levels, while the second can be used to compare and contrast different approaches to implementing Data Governance. When this webinar is finished, you will be able to customize the frameworks to outline the most appropriate manner for you to improve your likelihood of DG success.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss and share:
- Customizing a framework to match organizational requirements
- The core components and levels of an industry framework
- How to complete a Data Governance framework
- Using the framework to enable DG program success
- Measuring value through the DIY DG framework
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.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
-Selecting the appropriate metadata to govern
-The business and technical value of a data catalog
-Building the catalog into people’s routines
-Positioning the data catalog for success
-Questions the data catalog can answer
Data is everywhere, and delivering trustable data to anyone who needs it has become a challenge. But innovative technologies come to the rescue: through smart semantics, metadata management, auto-profiling, faceted search and collaborative data curation there is a way to establish a Wikipedia like approach for your data. Find out how Talend will help you to operationalize more data faster and increase data usage for everyone with an Enterprise Data Catalog

Everybody is a Data Steward – Get Over It!DATAVERSITY
When Data Stewardship is based on people’s relationships to data, the program is assured to cover the entire organization. People that define, produce, and use data must be held formally accountable for their actions. That may include every person in your organization. Is this a good thing? Of course, it is.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of his Real-World Data Governance webinar series, where he will share how formalizing accountability, based on the actions people take with data, requires heightened awareness and enforcement of data rules. These rules focus on improving Data Quality, protecting sensitive data, and increasing people’s knowledge of the data that adds value for their business.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
Why the “Everybody is a Data Steward” approach is different (and better)
How to recognize the Data Stewards
Formalizing accountability based on data relationships
Coverage of the entire organization
Leveraging the technique to sell stewardship
Data Governance vs. Information GovernanceDATAVERSITY
What is the difference between Data Governance and information governance? Organizations either use these terms interchangeably — or they have a distinct, separate meaning. Either way, it is important to discuss the discipline of governance as it pertains to different types of data and information — and what the discipline is called.
Join Bob Seiner for this important RWDG webinar where he will share examples of organizations using each term, what it has meant for them, where their focuses have been, and how the terminology is evolving over time. A lot has been written about Data Governance and information governance. However, it is time to compare and contrast these disciplines and make a decision as to the right name to call it in your organization.
This webinar will focus on:
• Similarities and differences between data and information
• Definitions of data and information governance
• Examples of how organizations have selected their label
• Brief case studies of governance named both ways
• Considerations for naming your program

RWDG Slides: Data Governance and Policy ManagementDATAVERSITY
Do you know what data policies are in place at your organization? Are the policies shelf-ware or do people know, understand, and follow what is stated in the policies? Many organizations have data policies – but don’t monitor their effectiveness. That is where Data Governance fits in.
In this month’s RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will address data policy from several angles and suggest ways to leverage the guidelines to activate your Data Governance program. It’s time to take policies off the shelf and put them in the cubicles.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
• The relationship between Data Governance and Policy Management
• How to recognize the data policies already in place
• Using data policy to bolster your Data Governance program
• The makeup of a Data Governance policy
• Having a policy to manage data policies – meta-policies?
RWDG Slides: The Stewardship Approach to Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
This document discusses the stewardship approach to data governance. It describes how everybody who defines, produces, or uses data is a data steward. Rather than assigning data steward roles, the stewardship approach recognizes the existing responsibilities that people have. This reduces the invasiveness of data governance initiatives. The document provides guidance on engaging different types of data stewards based on their relationships to data and leveraging their existing responsibilities. It also addresses how the large number of stewards impacts the complexity of data governance programs and how best to deal with accountability.
Real-World Data Governance Webinar: Data Governance and Metadata Best PracticeDATAVERSITY
Best practices are defined as a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark. In addition the definition goes on to say that a "best" practice can evolve to become better as improvements are discovered. A best practice can also be considered a target behavior to which you can compare your organization to deliver the actionable steps you can follow to achieve best practice.
In this Real-World Data Governance webinar, Bob Seiner focuses on defining, assessing and deploying Data Governance and metadata best practice that will move your organization in the best possible direction of success. Participants can expect to leave the webinar with a working list that can be used for self or contracted assessment.
This session will cover:
Criteria to Determine if Something is Best Practice
Development of Data Governance Best Practice
The Process to Complete the Best Practice Assessment

Real-World Data Governance: Governing Data – Big and Small, Come One Come AllDATAVERSITY
This document describes a webinar on governing big and small data. The webinar discusses definitions of data governance, considerations for governing big data, and similarities and differences between governing big versus small data. It explores what constitutes big data, characteristics of big data, and statistics on data growth. The webinar aims to answer whether there is such a thing as big data governance and how governance can be applied regardless of data size.
RWDG Slides: Three Ways to Manage Your Data StewardsDATAVERSITY
There are three ways to manage the data stewards in your organization. You can assign people to be data stewards, identify people as data stewards and you can recognize people as data stewards. The approach you select to associating people with their stewardship role may dictate how your data governance program is perceived by your organization.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series where he will be sharing three unique approaches to managing data stewards in your organization. Each approach brings with it benefits as well as challenges that must be addressed while planning a data governance program. Join us to learn how the approaches differ.
In this webinar Bob will discuss:
Details of the three ways to manage data stewards
How to select the appropriate way to manage data stewards
The benefits and challenges associated with each method
Preparing for how the organization will respond to each method
Staying true to the method you choose or altering your approach
If you define, produce, or use data as part of your job and you are held formally accountable for how you define, produce, and use the data, then you are a data steward. If that statement is true, then everybody is a data steward. Does this make your Data Governance program more complex?
Join Bob Seiner for this thought-provoking webinar that asks and answers the question, how can everybody be a data steward? His approach to Data Stewardship will at the same time make your program less invasive to deliver and add a touch of complexity when it is recognized that the governance of data involves everybody in the organization.
In this webinar, Bob will talk about:
- Defining the levels and roles of data stewards
- What the term “formalized accountability” means
- How to handle the complexity of everybody being a data steward
- The complete coverage that is deployed by this approach
- How to “get over” everybody being a data steward
Real-World Data Governance: Governance Risk and ComplianceDATAVERSITY
This document discusses a webinar on real-world data governance, risk, and compliance. It provides details on upcoming webinars in the monthly series and new publications from Robert Seiner on non-invasive data governance. The webinar will cover comparing risk management and data governance, measuring governance success through risk management, and using risk and compliance to explain governance. It also discusses governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) and defines key terms.
How to Implement Data Governance Best PracticeDATAVERSITY
This document provides an overview of a webinar on implementing data governance best practices. It discusses defining data governance best practices and assessing an organization's current practices against those best practices. Examples of best practices from different industries are provided. The document emphasizes communicating best practices in a non-threatening way and building best practices into daily operations. Key aspects covered include criteria for determining best practices, messages to convey to management, and best practices related to creating a best practices document.
RWDG Webinar Everybody is a Data StewardDATAVERSITY
This document discusses the concept that everybody in an organization can be considered a data steward. It begins by defining data governance and data stewardship, and introducing the concept of "Non-Invasive Data Governance". It then discusses how leadership is beginning to recognize that everyone with a relationship to organizational data should be held accountable for that relationship. The document considers how to expand the traditional view of data stewardship to include everybody, and potential benefits and challenges to this approach. It also outlines different types of data stewards and their typical responsibilities.
RWDG Slides: Applying Governance to Business ProcessesDATAVERSITY
This document discusses applying governance to business processes. It begins by defining key terms like data governance, data stewardship, and non-invasive data governance. It then discusses how data governance is not a single process, but the application of governance to various business processes using the components of the data governance framework, including roles, processes, communications, metrics, and tools. The document provides examples of processes that can be governed and emphasizes that the goal is to involve the right roles in processes to achieve the right results.
This document discusses governing master data. It defines key terms like data governance and data stewardship. It explains the connection between master data and data governance, and why master data needs to be governed. It discusses applying governance roles and responsibilities to master data processes. Finally, it concludes that master data governance is focusing a data governance program on improving an organization's master data.
RWDG Slides: Master Data Governance in ActionDATAVERSITY
Master data is data essential to operations in a specific subject area. Information treated as master data varies from one subject to another and even from one company to another. However defined, one thing for certain is that it does not become master data unless it is governed.
Join Bob Seiner for this RWDG webinar where he outlines a repeatable way to activate your Data Governance program by focusing on your master data initiatives. Get people to trust your data as the “master” by implementing a formal certification process.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss:
• What makes it Master Data Governance
• Aligning roles and responsibilities with Master Data Management (MDM)
• Qualities of “governed data”
• Governing to a “master” version of the truth
• Implementing Data Governance domain by domain
Convincing Stakeholders Data Governance Is EssentialDATAVERSITY
Organizations are investing heavily in becoming data-centric. Data Governance practitioners must begin to deploy effective Data Governance techniques to support these investments. One of these techniques is to tackle the problem of convincing stakeholders that Data Governance is necessary. This webinar will help you address that challenge.
Join Bob Seiner for this RWDG webinar, where he will provide three questions that must be answered thoroughly and honestly from a business and technical perspective. The answers to these questions will provide practitioners with the artillery needed to break down barriers preventing the organization from being convinced that the time is right to formalize Data Governance.
This webinar will focus on:
- Identifying the stakeholders that must be convinced
- The three questions that must be asked of the stakeholders
- What answers you should expect to receive
- The answers that may surprise you
- Using the answers to convince stakeholders that Data Governance is necessary
RWDG Webinar: A Data Governance Framework for Smart DataDATAVERSITY
Does your organization have smart data? How does your company define smart data? Smart data is data that is used in non-traditional ways such as through machine learning, through the semantic web and by taking advantage of new data opportunities such as the Internet of Thing. Businesses have embraced the importance of Big Data. Now we are being asked to embrace and govern Smart Data.
Join Bob Seiner and a Smart Data Expert for this Real-World Data Governance webinar focused on the governing the use of emerging data technologies and smart data practices as a way of maximizing the value of data in your organization. Smart data is new. Smart data will be the next Big Data. Attend this webinar to learn why Smart Data must be governed.
In the webinar, Bob and a special guest will share:
• An easy to understand definition of Smart Data
• Why you should provide a framework to govern Smart Data
• How Smart Data Governance sources differs from traditional Data Governance
• How Smart Data can and will be used in the present and future
• What it means to provide a Framework to govern Smart Data
RWDG Webinar: Metadata to Support Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
This document describes a webinar on using metadata to support data governance. It provides definitions of key terms like data governance, metadata, and non-invasive data governance. It explains that metadata is a byproduct of good governance practices like formalizing accountability and standards. The webinar will cover selecting important initial metadata, using metadata to support the governance program, and incorporating governance into processes to manage metadata. It promotes integrating governance roles and responsibilities into existing methodologies.
Governing Big Data, Smart Data, Data Lakes, and the Internet of ThingsDATAVERSITY
Big Data and Smart Data are key focuses in an organization’s attempt to make the best possible use of all available data sources. The Internet of Things and Data Lakes are being used to collect and report on a variety of new data sources that also maximize an organization’s ability to get the most from their data.
Join Bob Seiner and a special guest for this month’s installment of the RWDG webinar series to investigate how data governance relates to the latest and greatest technologies and applies discipline focused on bolstering your organization’s ability to leverage innovative data sources. The data world is changing and data practitioners are the heart of the changes.
In this webinar Bob and his guest will discuss:
The relationship between Big Data, Smart Data, and Data Governance
The relationship between the Internet of Things, Data Lakes, and Data Governance
How the Internet of Things and Data Lakes change the way we govern data
Extending existing data governance programs to embrace these technologies
Staying one step ahead of the competition by governing these items
Real-World Data Governance: Build Your Own Data Governance ToolsDATAVERSITY
There are many tools available to assist your organization to govern your data better. The value from these tools is proven and organizations come to rely on using these tools to deliver high quality and protected data. Some of these tools are available for purchase however many can be developed and provided internally.
This RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner will address the design, development and deployment of several key instruments of data governance success. Bob will describe the purpose of these tools, ways to build these tools and how to deliver value from tools you can construct with little or no cost.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss tools focused on:
Formalizing accountability for governing data definition, production and use
Recording critical data governance metadata
Applying governance to existing and/or new processes
Providing necessary awareness and communications
Building and improving data understanding
Comparing Approaches to Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
There are three distinct approaches to implementing Data Governance programs. There is the command-and-control approach, the traditional approach, and the non-invasive approach to implementing data governance. Selecting the best approach for your organization may be the most important data governance decision you make.
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series as he compares and contrasts the three approaches. In this webinar Seiner will describe a method to compare the approaches using five primary components of data governance viewed by the five levels of responsibility associated with the program.
In this webinar Bob will discuss:
Three distinct approaches to implement Data Governance
Five core components to Data Governance success
Assessing each approach by each core component

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.
Building a Data Strategy – Practical Steps for Aligning with Business GoalsDATAVERSITY
Developing a Data Strategy for your organization can seem like a daunting task – but it’s worth the effort. Getting your Data Strategy right can provide significant value, as data drives many of the key initiatives in today’s marketplace – from digital transformation, to marketing, to customer centricity, to population health, and more. This webinar will help demystify Data Strategy and its relationship to Data Architecture and will provide concrete, practical ways to get started.
Uncover how your business can save money and find new revenue streams.
Driving profitability is a top priority for companies globally, especially in uncertain economic times. It's imperative that companies reimagine growth strategies and improve process efficiencies to help cut costs and drive revenue – but how?
By leveraging data-driven strategies layered with artificial intelligence, companies can achieve untapped potential and help their businesses save money and drive profitability.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
- How your company can leverage data and AI to reduce spending and costs
- Ways you can monetize data and AI and uncover new growth strategies
- How different companies have implemented these strategies to achieve cost optimization benefits
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.
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
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.
Keeping the Pulse of Your Data – Why You Need Data Observability to Improve D...DATAVERSITY
This document discusses the importance of data observability for improving data quality. It begins with an introduction to data observability and how it works by continuously monitoring data to detect anomalies and issues. This is unlike traditional reactive approaches. Examples are then provided of how unexpected data values or volumes could negatively impact downstream processes but be resolved quicker with data observability alerts. The document emphasizes that data observability allows issues to be identified and addressed before they become costly problems. It promotes data observability as a way to proactively improve data integrity and ensure accurate, consistent data for confident decision making.
Empowering the Data Driven Business with Modern Business IntelligenceDATAVERSITY
By consolidating data engineering, data warehouse, and data science capabilities under a single fully-managed platform, BigQuery can accelerate computation, reduce data analysis costs, and streamline data management.
Following in-depth interviews with a security services provider and a telecommunications company, Nucleus Research found that customers moving to Google Cloud BigQuery from on-premises data warehouse solutions accelerate data processing by over 75 percent while reducing data ongoing administrative expenses by over 25 percent.
As BigQuery continues to optimize its platform architecture for compute efficiency and multicloud support, Nucleus expects the vendor to see rapid adoption and further penetrate the data warehouse market.

Do People Really Know Their Fertility Intentions? Correspondence between Sel...Xiao Xu
Fertility intention data from surveys often serve as a crucial component in modeling fertility behaviors. Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.

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