Data
Governance & the Holy Grail If we assume a five step maturity model for data governance then most companies haven’t even started. However, of those that have, almost everybody is still at one of the early steps of maturity. Very few indeed have managed to reach step 3 and no-one has yet attained a higher level. This means that most organisations are either not implementing data governance at all or are at only an early stage. At this point it is only nuts and bolts issues that are important. However, as you advance further up the ladder of maturity there are implications both for the business and your IT organisation that may not be immediately obvious. For example, one of the things that you would want to know as a part of your data governance initiative is where all of your data sources are. Now, once you know all of that, IT has a much broader holistic view of the way that data is spread around the organisation: what impact should that, or could that have on the way that the IT department controls access to information? Perhaps most importantly of all, data governance provides a cross-enterprise interface between the IT department and the business that can potentially be used to bring the two closer together. But that in turn would have consequences: for example, it might change the relationship between data management and application developers within the IT organisation; once upon a time it was the data analysts who were the top dogs in IT departments but that hasn’t been so for many years – could we be coming full circle? |

Practical
Data Governance at Reuters Helen Townsend & Toni McDerment, Enterprise Data Architects, Reuters Reuters is a global information company providing indispensable information tailored for professionals in the financial services, media and corporate markets. The organisation has evolved over many years and as a result of acquisition and natural progression, the data and technical environment in which it operates, is largely diversified. To mitigate the effects of this, and to cope with a constantly and rapidly changing set of enterprise requirements, the approach taken has been to apply data governance at the enterprise architecture level. This session aims to share our approach with you in terms of:

D+1:
Where do you Start with Governance? Simon Slocombe, Principal Consultant, Evaxyx (UK) Limited Once you have marshalled opinion in your organisation that ‘data governance is a good thing,’ what next? Should you start by looking at data quality, or by examining how your existing business processes can make best use of the information that flow around your enterprise? This session takes a pragmatic view on what activities need to be done right at the start of a governance programme. It will seek to expand statements such as ‘define ownership,’ and ‘assign criticality,’ and provide guidance on how to involve all levels of business in creating a workable data governance mechanism. |

This presentation mixes theory with case studies as we introduce a Data Governance framework and key practices to align these inter-related efforts. Learn:

Information
Governance and Stewardship: Implementing Accountability for the Information
Resource To optimize the effectiveness of the management of information quality there must be accountability for that resource in a way similar to accountability for financial and human resources. To effectively manage information there must be authorities, policies and procedures to enable effective governance of information. Mr. English describes a natural governance approach to information along with the seven business roles of information stewardship. He describes why it is required to be effective in the emerging “realized” Information Age. He dispels many misconceptions about Information Stewardship and addresses:

Getting Started
in Data Governance The first step leading towards data governance is the establishing of an information management policy. Getting the policy approved can be a very political process. Implementing the approved policy has so far turned out to be the most difficult task. The changes to decision processes, power balances and responsibilities are quite big especially in an organisation, that has gained its agility from strong decentralisation. This presentation will address the experiences at DSB. Topics include:

How to Launch a Data Governance Program
- Practical guidelines and real world examples for technology implementers
and business stakeholders Everyone will agree that Data Governance programs need to be owned and managed within the business with key business stakeholders being responsible for the definition of, and compliance to, Data Governance rules and standards. The challenge that most organisations are struggling with, is establishing the ownership and sponsorship within the business and identifying and empowering the key stakeholders to get the foundations for their programme in place. During his presentation Paul will use several real world examples to demonstrate how many global organisations use Data Quality and Data Integration as the key enabler to establish their global Data Governance programmes and bring to the fore potential challenges and potential business benefits that are critical to establishing success early. He will provide pragmatic advice to both technology implementers and business stakeholders and discuss the following:
