W3: Actionable Solutions for Data Governance, Stewardship & Meta-Data: Workshop

 

Robert Seiner

KIK Consulting & Educ Services / TDAN.com

 

The topic of Enterprise Data Management has been debated for years. Is "Big" Data Management Dead? Can Enterprise Data Management be successful for any length of time in any organization? There is not a simple answer to this question. But . Robert S. Seiner of KIKConsulting.com & TDAN.com thinks he has A practical answer.

 

Most organizations are considering, if not fully engulfed in, defining Data Governance, Data Stewardship and Meta-Data Management as important components of their data management, data integration and data quality initiatives. This session focuses on how to synchronize these efforts to address quality concerns, legislation concerns, audit, security & privacy concerns and to maximize the value organization's get from their data.

 

This interactive workshop will help attendees to formulate a plan to address all three of these disciplines and build effective data management for part or all of their organizations.

This session will focus on:

 

  • Invoking practical disciplines for data governance, stewardship and meta-data management
  • Developing best practices and gaining management sponsorship
  • Establishing the connection between data governance/stewardship & meta-data management
  • Engaging stewards to improve data and meta-data quality and value
  • Formulating an "actionable" plan to take home from the conference

Thank you to everybody that attended this active session. Many questions, many great comments, tips, etc.

There are several key points that I want to re-iterate:

First, Data Governance is not A methodology. Develop best practices and incorporate these practices into everyday activities.
Second, Data Stewards are not assigned and being a Data Steward is NOT a job position. Stewardship is accountability for specific data through discipline and process no matter what your title is.
Third, Start in an area where you can demonstrate value and where the feasibility of being successful is high. Start with a piece of a piece of the pie and incrementally expand throughout the business.
Last, If your organization is focussing on meta-data management, be certain to include the stewarding of meta-data the same way that you steward the business data.

Thanks everybody, Comments are Welcome!

Great Conference this year. I look forward to Boston in 2007.

Best Regards,
Bob

Thank you Bob for your presentation. This topic deserves a full day session to vet the implications on topics like MDM. I look forward to your next workshop.
