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

Keynote:
Data Management
Technology Challenges – Past, Present and Future
Ian
Walton, Chief Designer, Enterprise Information
and Data Management Solutions, British Telecom
Throughout the
history of data processing we have continually been faced with challenges
that we look to technology to help us solve. Moore’s Law somewhat
dictates that there is always an unending supply of emerging technology
available to enable new challenges and limits to be tackled. However,
although technology helps solve data management problems let’s
not forget that it’s also been a major contributor to creating
those problems in the first place. In this session Ian takes a look
at how technology in data management has helped us manage ever-increasing
volumes of data, and looks at the challenges going forward.
- How has
and will technology increase the data management problem?
- How has
and will technology help manage an increasing data load?
- Where will
it all end?
