How to get data management as part of data driven

Your organization has stated it is going to be data driven. Perhaps some mandate were handed down, or some data scientists are working in functional areas. But wait – why no formal data quality program? Or metadata? Or management of data movement and access ? Has anyone thought of data privacy? Too often there is a complete disconnect between lofty goals of leadership and practical solutions. The big issue is lack of awareness about what data driven really means, and the potential issues that can arise along the way. This presentation will cover:

  1. What essential elements are needed to present to management to demonstrate that “data driven” requires some sort of forma data program.
  2. How to craft a solution to the problem quickly when you are challenged.
  3. How to build a case to “step up,” and communicate risks to leadership

Using Enterprise Architecture to Manage Data Governance and Information Management

Many organizations have enterprise and information architects. But very few organizations have figured out how to integrate the two areas. A prime example is the explosion of SOA work with poor or nonexistent data consideration. In fact, they often clash. How do you reconcile enterprise architecture work, information management and data governance? John will present an assessment and measurement tool he has used to demonstrate to management that powerful promise in taking a holistic view. John will use the Zachman Framework but also show TOGAF.
