INFORMATION QUALITY Keynote:
Morning Glories, Mukluks and Mushy Peas: A Systems Approach to Management
Dr. Joyce Orsini, Director, The W. Edwards Deming Institute


Through metaphors and examples, Dr. Joyce Orsini will discuss the benefits of running an organization as a system. She will compare and contrast a systems approach to management with what exists in many companies today. She will discuss the interdependence of the different functions of the organization and how barriers between functions create suboptimal behavior and results. Conflicting goals, confusion, diffusion, and displacements result in poor performance and chaos. Ongoing chaos (stable chaos) is sometimes difficult to uncover, as it is repeatable, easy to document, and eligible for ISO status. Points will be clarified through examples from organizations with which Dr. Orsini has worked.
  • The organization as a system
  • Optimization of a system
  • Losses from the prevailing system of management
  • Suboptimal company practices
  • Relationship between strategies, policies and procedures

IQ FEATURED PRESENTATION: Essentials of Effective Information Quality Management
Larry P. English, President, Information Impact International, Inc.

“Information Quality” functions are more prominent than ten years ago. But, one must understand what IQ means in order to call a function “Information” or “Data Quality Management.” To be effective and sustainable, an IQ or DQ function must conform to the same quality principles and practices that transformed manufacturing quality. The maturing of manufacturing Quality Management systems have paved the way for IQ management.

In this presentation, Mr. English describes the essential and fundamental principles of Information Quality Improvement processes for maximum benefits and business effectiveness. Illustrations from organizations around the world that have implemented successful information quality processes, Mr. English describes the techniques and cultural transformation required for an effective and sustainable Information Quality environment.

  • Drivers demanding IQ management
  • What Information Quality Management is and is not: Dispelling the myths
  • Core processes
  • Focusing on the “Customer”
  • Core competencies in the Information Age

Enterprise Architecture: Value Proposition
John Zachman, President, Zachman International

Most People still think the way to acquire funding for new systems is “cost-justification”. I would suggest that the Value Proposition for systems has radically changed. There are four reasons you “do” Architecture including alignment, integration, change management and reduced time to market. Without Architecture, there is NO WAY you can do any of these things. This presentation begins with a brief tutorial on the Framework for Enterprise Architecture and then develops the logic as to its value to the Information Age Enterprise.

Where is the Metadata with Generic Information Modelling?
Rick F. van der Lans, R20/Consultancy B.V.

The goal of generic information modelling is to create more adaptive and flexible information models through techniques such as avoiding overnormalisation, separating structure from integrity, and generalising models. Too often the moment information needs change, the information model, the database structure and the application code have to be changed. But there is a serious impact on metadata. Most of the metadata will end up in business rules instead of classic structural concepts. This presentation highlights the importance of generic modelling and explains the impact on metadata management.
  • what exactly is generic information modelling?
  • normalisation is OK, overnormalisation isn’t
  • how do we separate integrity rules from structure?
  • meta data in the form of business rules

The Role of SOA in Enterprise Data Integration
Jonathan Carter, Principal Architect, Enterprise Architecture Solutions

For any large organization a “top-down”, enterprise view of information is essential for managing the data that is inevitably shared across diverse systems. However, in practice this has proved difficult as the multiple views of data are often specific to the technology with which the data is managed, e.g. RDBMS, XML Schema. The concept of the Service provides an approach to regain a single view by separating the “what” (Information) from the “how” (Technology).
