A
Step by Step Strategy for Successful Enterprise Data Governance
This tutorial
presents a strategic guide on how to implement an Enterprise Data
Governance to systematically get control of all core data in the
enterprise, whether it is used in operational or analytical processes.
It looks at why data governance has to be elevated to being an enterprise
initiative with enterprise level sponsorship and what has to get
done in terms of organisational structure, processes, and technologies
to achieve trusted, traceable, commonly managed data for use anywhere
in the enterprise.
- Setting
a target vision and objectives for enterprise data governance
- Assessing
and gauging your current level of data governance maturity
- Defining
a roadmap for enterprise data governance
- Why do it?
– Presenting the business case for enterprise data governance
- Establishing
an enterprise data governance programme
- Organisation
structure needed
- Technology
components required for enterprise data governance
- Why data
quality is central to a data governance programme
- Processes
and controls for truly governing data
- A ‘how to’
methodology to get data under control
- Developing
trusted information services to standardise re-use
- Options
for sharing trusted data across applications and databases

Supporting
SOA-Metadata and Governance in Action
As organizations
attempt to adopt and implement advanced technologies, they often
discover that a successful implementation requires a higher degree
of data governance maturity than had been anticipated. SOA provides
us with a textbook example but the lessons learned here also apply
to other major organizational data-driven initiatives. Key drivers
behind SOA include:
- Changing
focus from managing systems to managing at least an order of magnitude
more services
- Architecting
those services to be flexible and adaptable in order to obtain
the desired service reuse
- Providing
increased guidance over both the architecting/engineering of services
and their use by requisite business processes.
It is impossible
to manage the above without implementing a mature data governance
process. This tutorial describes the how organizations should use
a data governance-based approach when implementing SOA and other
projects that are dependent on proper metadata management. We show
how to use data governance to "size" projects, set mutually
agreed upon business and technical expectations, and perform verification
and validation of key project milestones and deliverables. Attendees
will understand the:
- Key elements
of data governance required in order to manage the required metadata
- The hard
and soft skill sets that are mandated in order to achieve success

Developing
and Sustaining the Changes Required for Data Governance Success
This tutorial
is specifically aimed at planning the steps of a change management
effort unique to data governance. This tutorial will present the
steps required to build the data governance program road map – and
cover in detail the barriers to overcome and sustain the many efforts
and initiatives required for successful governance. Attendees will
leave with a basic tool kit for developing their own plan to ensure
that the changes required for successful data governance are specified,
monitored, and sustained.
- The basics
of culture change
- Culture
scorecards
- Types
of change processes
- Specific
issues of change with data governance efforts
- Discerning
information maturity
- Identify
and mitigate resistance and turf wars
- Reinforce
the business benefits
- How
to cross organization silos
- Building
the change plan
- Aligning
a plan with business culture
- Building
the business case for change management
- Being
pragmatic about the culture change plan
- Presenting
and utilizing a change plan
- Training
and Talking to Business Leadership
- Building
and maintaining the change team
- Who
should be on the team?
- How
is change measured?

How
to Build a Data Governance Programme from Scratch - A Practitioner’s

With the idea
of Data Governance gaining wide acceptance, the question remains
– how do you execute on this idea? What should the organization
look like? What about stewardship (and what are stewards anyway
- and where do they come from)? This session will also cover topics
such as what should be governed, the parts of the organization that
must contribute to a successful implementation, and how you start
the enterprise down a path to create and govern metadata and data
quality. You are going to have to change the culture of the organization
and sell the idea of governance into the organization from top to
bottom. You'll learn how to do that too. In the end, you should
walk away from this tutorial with a clear idea of how to build a
successful Data Governance practice starting from nothing (or very
little, anyway). .
13:15-16:30
A
Governance Framework for Master Data Management
Master Data
Management (MDM) is a complex, long-term, multi-dimensional program.
This means that governance is much more necessary than in stand-alone
projects, and lack of governance is one of the biggest risks in
MDM. This tutorial describes the different components of governance
needed to successfully implement MDM. The dependencies and sequencing
between these components is examined, along with the infrastructure
and business processes that have to be provided to implement them.
The relationships with relevant functions within IT and the business
area of the enterprise are reviewed in detail. Management of these
communities of stakeholders is vital to the success of MDM and it
cannot be done in an ad-hoc manner. Also, governance during the
build-out of the MDM competency is distinguished from governance
required for successfully operating a production MDM environment.
Governance is firmly emphasized as being logically prior to the
MDM tasks which are to be governed, and techniques for making the
case for governance, and developing governance components are described.
Attendees will learn:
- What the
components of the framework for governance of MDM are
- How to gain
acceptance and plan for the governance framework
- The business
processes and infrastructure that have to be put in place for
the MDM governance framework
- Monitoring
and evaluating the MDM governance framework, as part of the framework
itself
- Implementing
the governance framework in a coordinated way with the underlying
MDM program

Effective Data
Governance relies on a comprehensive, commonly agreed framework
of rules, through which the behaviour and use of data is controlled.
In organisations where a formal Enterprise Architecture function
is in place, these rules should be reflected in the Information
Architecture, and its links to the other architectural layers (in
particular the Business Architecture). This presentation explains,
by providing and discussing a series of structured knowledge models,
the way in which architectural rigour is applied to Data Governance.
The audience will be shown how such an approach:
- Addresses
each of the 15 categories of Data Quality problem
- Implicitly
provides a business-value centred approach to Data Governance
- Limits risk
- Provides
a consistent backbone for measuring Data Governance effectiveness
