The drive for the future is to successfully
focus on providing quality support to core members whilst
guaranteeing sufficient financial income to ensure sustained
activity.
The four areas which DAMA UK recommends
addressing over the next two years are:
Academic - to survey UK organisations
to understand their Data Management skill set needs and
then induce academic institutions to supply them.
Data Quality (DQ) - to benchmark
data quality standards in the UK and encourage development
of business awareness of the importance of DQ and help develop
DG metrics.
Government regulations versus data
- to increase awareness of the legal implications of data
management, assist organisations in reducing their legal
liabilities and support ETA (and others) lobby for "data
clever" legislation.
Data Standards - survey requirements
then work with other organisations (eg BCS) to develop effective
data standards.
