Real-World Data Governance: Selecting the Right Data Governance ApproachDATAVERSITY
There are numerous approaches to delivering a Data Governance Program. Some people will say that no two programs look the same. Some of the approaches are stricter and more by the book – some may consider them to be about Command and Control. There are other approaches that focus more on formalizing accountability and that take a less invasive approach.
Join Bob Seiner for this installment of the Real-World Data Governance webinar series as he dissects several approaches to Data Governance and provides insight as to what may be the best approach for your organization. Bob will look at these approaches from a new program and existing program perspective.
In this session Bob will discuss:
Differences in Data Governance Approaches
How to Match Your Data Governance Approach to Your Culture
How to Blend Pieces of Different Approaches to Meet Your Objectives
How to Set Expectations Aligned with Your Approach
How to Evaluate if the Approach has been Successful
What You Should & Shouldn't Tell Your Management about Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
The document provides guidance on what to communicate to management about data governance. It recommends emphasizing that data governance formalizes existing informal practices, can improve areas like risk management and data quality, and does not require large investments. It advises against positioning data governance as a huge challenge, technical solution, or revolution. Business value examples show how data governance could address issues like undocumented workarounds.
Real-World Data Governance: Build Your Own Data Governance ToolsDATAVERSITY
There are many tools available to assist your organization to govern your data better.

KMWorld, Enterprise Search and Discovery 2019
Congratulations! You’ve just been given the responsibility for search at your organization! Perhaps there is a new initiative to improve search, or perhaps the previous search manager mysteriously disappeared. In any case, you’ve discovered that search is a deceptively tricky domain, and that the expectations of many of your stakeholders are difficult to meet or even to define. This workshop provides an orientation and exposure to the key issues, effective processes, and technology—independent of what brand of search engine you use. It provides lay-of-the-land information and approaches to get you off to a good start. Topics include getting started and where to find practical guidance in search management; kinds of tasks and roles involved in managing search; building a cross-functional team; assessing the current state of search; establishing a vision and creating a findability strategy; getting stakeholders together and constructively involved; discovering and managing expectations; top misconceptions about search and how to educate your organization; top five and next five tools and techniques for improving search; updates and improvements; and measuring search: KPIs, tools, and techniques for internal search engine optimization. If you have been in the search manager’s role for a while but feel like you are missing a grounding in successful practices and management techniques, this workshop is still useful.

What if I told you you doing insane hours is not the same as doing your phd?Micheal Axelsen
And so today I am here to talk about work-life balance in your PhD. Work-life balance is one of the 'seven deadly sins' of academe. The PhD is the worst kind of study for work-life balance. More than any other form of study, the PhD requires hard work without direction and hard work without deadlines. Now let me be clear, in case you haven't figured it out yet, your PhD is hard work. Yet, I want to tell you today that hard work… is not your PhD. Just as it's not possible to get your PhD without hard work, it isn't possible to 'just' do lots of hard work and get a PhD. It needs to be the right kind of hard work.

Data Strategy for Telcos : Preparedness and ManagementSouravRout
Telco‘s sit on a vast amount of data – both in terms of magnitude and variety. The Internet of Things (IoT) is set to magnify this spead and volume of data exponentially. As an organization, telco‘s use data across the board – network performance and optimization, marketing, product placements, pricing, plans, customer experience, fraud detection, etc. It thus becomes important to ensure data collection (and at the end, disposal where needed), processing, analytics and value creation are done uniformly across the organization.
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

What if I told you you doing insane hours is not the same as doing your phd?Micheal Axelsen
And so today I am here to talk about work-life balance in your PhD. Work-life balance is one of the 'seven deadly sins' of academe. The PhD is the worst kind of study for work-life balance. More than any other form of study, the PhD requires hard work without direction and hard work without deadlines. Now let me be clear, in case you haven't figured it out yet, your PhD is hard work. Yet, I want to tell you today that hard work… is not your PhD. Just as it's not possible to get your PhD without hard work, it isn't possible to 'just' do lots of hard work and get a PhD. It needs to be the right kind of hard work.

I identify potential problems with the traditional centralised methods of data quality management, and offer alternative organistional models which can enable a more distributed and democratised approach to improving your organisations data. I also propose a simple four-step approach to delivering immediate business value from your data.
Measuring the performance of business analystsAdriana Beal
The document discusses measuring the performance of business analysts. While traditional views see individual performance measurement as a way to control behavior, some research suggests high performance can be achieved through leadership, environment and encouragement of experimentation without formal measurement. However, the document argues performance measurement is valuable to understand what affects processes and results in order to make improvements. It provides examples of effective measures and discusses how to create meaningful measurement systems focused on learning rather than punishment.

This document discusses IT governance for smaller nonprofits and provides guidance on how to establish an IT governance framework. It defines key aspects of IT governance and provides questions that nonprofits should consider to help align their IT with their mission and strategy, define IT performance measures, manage IT-related change, and organize IT decision rights. The document emphasizes that even small changes to IT can significantly impact a nonprofit given their smaller size, so IT governance is important.
A common misconception is that IT Governance is only for big enterprises. Cloud computing and the increasing pervasive use of technology in the workplace requires that smaller organizations take a more strategic and risk-aware approach to managing their technology and business information. Attend this session to learn how to apply IT governance principles and practices to smaller not-for-profit organizations to help develop your IT strategy, manage your IT risk, and enable better business decisions through information.

Review tversky & kahnemann (1974) judgment under uncertaintyMicheal Axelsen
This document summarizes a 1974 paper by Tversky and Kahnemann on heuristics and biases in human judgment under uncertainty. It outlines three main heuristics: representativeness, availability, and anchoring and adjustment. For each heuristic, it provides examples of how people make systematic errors in probability assessments and predictions due to relying on mental shortcuts. Overall, the document discusses how intuitive judgments can be biased even when individuals are sophisticated, due to normal cognitive tendencies to rely on heuristics.
Ever since the pocket calculator replaced the adding machine and the slide rule, accountants have been debating whether today’s accountant is less skilled than those that went before. The increasing reliance upon legislative compliance and ‘best practice frameworks’ has ensured that the modern professional must rely on the computer to carry out their tasks.
This session presents preliminary results from Micheal’s research into whether the sophisticated use of computers (‘intelligent decision aids’) to assist with accounting and audit reduces the professional’s judgment capability – their ‘know-how’. Micheal’s research draws upon interviews with 59 public sector auditors to identify whether this ‘deskilling’ is occurring.
The session identifies the driving forces behind this ‘deskilling effect’ (‘technology dominance), outlines recent research into the phenomenon (and in fact whether it exists or not), and identifies risk factors that may be at play in deskilling yourself and your staff if you rely on computers too much. Potential strategies to reduce this deskilling effect are also outlined and discussed.
This session should be of interest to any professional that relies upon a computer to help them with their professional tasks.

Continued Use Of IDAs And Knowledge AcquisitionMicheal Axelsen
The effects of continued use of intelligent decision aids upon auditor procedural knowledge
Student: Micheal Axelsen
Supervisor: Professor Peter Green, Dr Fiona Rohde
ABSTRACT
This research proposal builds upon the theory of technology dominance (Sutton & Arnold 1998), which has as one of its propositions that the continued use of intelligent decision aids may have the effect of deskilling auditors over time. A theoretical contribution is made through a consideration of this effect through the operation of the anchoring and adjustment heuristic (Epley & Gilovich, 2006; Kowalczyk & Wolfe, 1998; Tversky & Kahnemann, 1974) and cognitive load theory (Mascha & Smedley, 2007; Sweller, 1988). The anchoring and adjustment heuristic is a technique used by people in judgment tasks to remove cognitive burden. In making a judgment, the assessor ‘anchors’ upon the first value provided in making an estimate, and then ‘adjusts’ this estimate until a ‘reasonable’ estimate is reached. This heuristic has the effect of a systematic adjustment bias in the final estimate made. Cognitive load theory finds that an expert uses different and more efficient problem-solving strategies as a result of their past experiences in comparison to the novice. The expert draws upon their experience with past problems to develop their problem-solving strategies. Theoretically the argument is developed that the professional auditor’s ability to develop efficient problem-solving strategies is reduced as a result of their use of the anchoring and adjustment heuristics encouraged by the continued use of intelligent decision aids.
It is proposed that this integrated theory be empirically tested through a series of semi-structured interviews with audit professionals and a survey of public sector auditors designed to test the developed theoretical model. This investigation will consider the role of the continued use of intelligent decision aids and any deskilling effect such use may have upon auditor ‘know-how’, or procedural knowledge.
The contributions of this proposed research are several. Firstly, a theoretical contribution is made through extension and reconciliation of the theory of technology dominance with the anchoring and adjustment heuristic and cognitive load theory. Secondly, a practical contribution is made by extension of the testing of the theory to the field rather than experimentally. A third practical contribution is made through an empirical test of the theory of technology dominance in the context of procedural knowledge (auditor ‘know-how’), which has not previously been tested.
Decision Support Systems And The ProfessionalMicheal Axelsen
The document discusses the benefits and potential unintended consequences of decision support systems. It outlines how DSS can increase efficiency but also describes the theory of technology dominance, where over-reliance on a DSS could negatively impact professional judgment and skills over time. The cognitive load theory and anchoring and adjustment heuristic are discussed as explanations for how excessive use of a DSS may result in "deskilling" of professionals and reduce knowledge acquisition. The key is for professionals to use DSS to support, not replace, their own expertise and judgment.
20070221 Getting It Right Draft #3 Applied InsightMicheal Axelsen
The presentation discusses getting IT right by aligning it with business goals. It recommends identifying the business goals, IT goals, and priority processes for improvement.

Introduction to Pitch Decks
What is a Pitch Deck?
A pitch deck is a visual presentation that provides an overview of your business idea or product. It is used to persuade investors, partners, and customers to take action. It is a concise communication tool that helps to clearly and effectively present your business concept.
Why are Pitch Decks Important?
Concise Communication: A pitch deck allows you to communicate your business idea succinctly, making it easier for your audience to understand and remember your message.
Value Proposition: It helps in clearly articulating the unique value of your product or service and how it addresses the problems of your target audience.
Market Opportunity: It showcases the size and growth potential of the market you are targeting and how your business will capture a share of it.
Key Elements of a Successful Pitch Deck
A successful pitch deck should include the following elements:
Problem: Clearly articulate the pain point or challenge that your business solves.
Solution: Showcase your product or service and how it addresses the identified problem.
Market Opportunity: Describe the size, growth potential, and target audience of your market.
Business Model: Explain how your business will generate revenue and achieve profitability.
Team: Introduce key team members and their relevant experience.
Traction: Highlight the progress your business has made, such as customer acquisitions, partnerships, or revenue.
Ask: Clearly state what you are asking for, whether it’s investment, partnership, or advisory support.

10. What is information management?
• To be clear, this isn‟t about personal information
management – this is information management for the
enterprise
• Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is the
program that manages the enterprise information asset
to support the business and improve value. EIM
manages the plans, policies, principles, frameworks,
technologies, organizations, people, and processes in an
enterprise toward the goal of maximizing the investment
in data and content
(Making EIM Work for Business by John Ladley, 2010)

12. What is information management?
Data << Information << Knowledge
• Today the business model no longer emphasises „data
management‟ (which enables processes but long-term
value is limited) and instead emphasises „information
management‟ (which enables long-term planning and
innovation).
• Data management is assumed.
• Information is now the fuel of the
agency – and being fuel, it must be
managed appropriately.
13. Exercise: do we treat information how
we should?
• What – hypothetically
of course – might be
people‟s reaction
when you discuss
“information
management”?
14. Is Information Management even
important?
• For a start, in the public sector it‟s necessary due to high
compliance requirements (e.g. backup, „push‟
information provision rather than „pull‟) and the need for
transparency (freedom of information).
• However there‟s more to the business case than that:
– IT efficiency (lower costs of information gathering,
storage, software development and processing)
– Business benefit (faster access to information, better
quality data, faster decision making, better decisions)
– Risk management (prevent fraud, avoid fines, reduce
insurance premiums, regulatory risk)

17. What is Information Management?
Information management is the way in which an
organisation plans, identifies, creates, receives, collects,
organises, governs, secures, uses, controls, disseminates,
exchanges, maintains, preserves and disposes of its
information. It is also the means through which the
organisation ensures that the value of that information is
identified and exploited.
(Victorian/Queensland Definition)
19. Where to start? It‟s not rocket surgery!
The enactment of significance (Beynon-Davies, P. (2011). In-formation on the prairie: Signs,
patterns, systems and prairie dogs. International Journal of Information Management, 31(4), 307-
316).
20. Scope
• The strategic issue: the growing need to manage data,
information, and documents.
• A sustainable enterprise-wide information management
strategy that addresses operational, management, and
executive areas
• Management first, technology second: understand the
importance of speaking to the agency‟s management
first, and speaking to the software salesperson last.
21. Improving information management
Creating active strategies
• It is naive to think that information management can be
improved in a „Great Leap Forward‟ on all fronts and all
at once
• To be sustainable, information management must meet
the cost/benefit test, and be important to the business
• An information management strategy grows
organisational capability by implementing a „floor‟ for all
data and focussing the most resources upon the most
critical data
• This creates less business risk, higher quality, and lower
costs than a „big bang‟ approach
22. Practical strategies
• Owned by the business, not „IT‟
• Set core standards for all information, and focus
resources on the development of information
governance approaches for absolutely critical data first.
• Do not develop over-engineered solutions for the entire
organisation‟s information at first.
• Slow-burn strategies that deliver beat fast-burning
failures every time
• Build the strategic rhythm of monthly & quarterly reviews
• Set quarterly deliverables in the program of works for
ease of monitoring
• An active strategy is a practical strategy
25. Developing and delivering the
Information Management strategy
• What assets do we have? • What is the „floor‟ of activities we
• What IM capabilities do we absolutely must do for all
have? information?
• How mature is our IM? • Where do we get the most value
• What resources do we from information management?
have? • Identify capability and maturity
gaps
Assess Plan • Identify IM activities that make IM
sustainable over the lifecycle
• How did we go? • Short and sharp
• Measure and report • No more than three years
KPI‟s Advance Do • Outcomes identified
• Identify and monitor • Focused on high-value
delivered value information types
• Confirm the next steps • Managed as a project – so keep
everything SMART
34. Introducing COBIT
• COBIT 5 (updated in 2012) is the latest version of the IT
Governance Institute‟s framework for IT governance.
• Although developed by auditors, it provides an excellent
base for the development of IT management processes,
including information management.
• A significant portion of COBIT is directly relevant to
information management, although not all.

MANAGEMENT KEY AREAS
