Companies are transforming their businesses by leveraging the power of Big Data. At the same time organizations have to operate within their existing business and meet operational and environmental demands and constraints which are frequently dictated by IT and Data Governance bodies. The transformation beyond traditional business intelligence to a truly data-driven organization requires a Big Data roadmap (tools, processes, and training to build deep data science & engineering expertise) which is aligned with existing organizational structures and enables new capabilities. So how do large Policy driven organizations adjust to be able to capture the value of Big Data? In this presentation we will discuss governance as part of a larger Big Data roadmap and use case studies to walk through a number of Big Data projects within large companies. We will discuss how they navigated existing oversight processes and structures to enable the organization to innovate on top of Big Data platforms while meeting its governance requirements. We will review key decisions and strategies focused around whether to go organizationally wide or narrow, how to align with current and future projects, development of Stewardship and metrics, and alignment with organizational priorities and culture.
