Every organization has people that are accountable for managing the data’s definition, production and/or usage. Whether or not these people consider themselves "stewards" of the data and whether they are held accountable for the data, may be the difference between organizations that govern data and those that don’t. Every organization maintains key operational and decision support data through some type of process and methodology. But not every organization governs and stewards its data. This session from Bob Seiner focuses on building Data Governance and Data Stewardship Programs that fit over an organization’s existing foundation of people, data and process. The session provides best practices and an organizational framework that values and leverages existing structure while addressing opportunities to improve. This "Non-Invasive" approach sets attainable business and technology expectations and can be completed incrementally and/or through orientation to other key data initiatives such as CDI and MDM, Data Warehousing, DQM, ERP package implementations and Meta-Data Management.

The current interest in MDM has been accompanied by an unfortunate undercurrent of thought that MDM is nothing more than well-tried data management practices repackaged in an attractive new form. Moreover, heightened interest in MDM appears to have spawned many projects to address it at an enterprise level with many of these projects including Master Reference Data within their scope. However, Master Data and Reference Data are quite different. Each has its own unique management needs. If projects attempt to manage both using the same techniques they are likely to end in failure. This workshop clearly demonstrates that Master Reference Data has unique properties and behaviour that demand special management approaches. The topics to be discussed explore the special properties and behaviours of both master data and reference data. The workshop examines some important management needs of both, to clearly demonstrate how each of these classes of data must be approached. Clearly, failure to address Master Data in this way greatly increases the odds of an MDM project ending up not meeting its expectations. The workshop examines what Master Reference Data is, and builds on this to discuss several practical approaches to solving specific Master Reference Data problems.
