T14: Mastering the Human Side of Data Governance and Data Quality - The Key to Success
Len Silverston, President, Universal Data Models

When we asked the question to many organizations, 'Why did your data governance or data quality effort fail?" the most common answer was 'politics'. And when we asked why efforts were successful, human factors were most often mentioned as the key. So what can we do about this?

To be successful, we must invest in and understand leading-edge techniques, tools, and practices that can to develop strong personal relationships, effect positive cultural changes, and promote effective human dynamics.

This seminar provides case studies from a variety of data governance, data quality, and data management efforts and shares critical aspects of why some organizations are successful and others are not. This seminar will share practical and powerful techniques that focus on human dynamics and personal relationships, which is one of the most important factors in success. 

Based upon decades of experiences and research from a variety of sources, the seminar will share principles and specific techniques that data governance and data quality teams can use to develop trust, understand and 'model' motivations, develop sponsorship, move ahead the vision, and effectively resolve conflict.

There will be interactive exercises where participants will practice handling difficult issues that commonly arise in data governance and data quality efforts, and we will apply the principles and techniques that leading organizations have used to create world class solutions. Furthermore, this class will share fun and interesting knowledge, stories and exercises.

You Will Learn

  • Key factors in developing strong personal relationships and effecting culture change, and  that are critical to success
  • Tools and principles to enable data governance, such as keys in moving ahead the program, developing trust, understanding motivation, developing sponsorship, and managing conflict
  • Case studies regarding how these principles and techniques lead to success and examples where these techniques were missing, thus helping us to avoid these pitfalls
  • Exercises allowing participants to practice overcoming challenges that data governance and data quality professionals inevitably face

Danette McGilvray, President and Principal, Granite Falls

Do you see the need for improving data quality in your organization? Maybe you have complaints about reports coming out of the data warehouse. You need to analyze the data quality and set a baseline against which to compare future improvements. In other cases, you have projects (MDM, ERP, new application development) that are migrating or integrating data and high quality data is a critical success factor. Perhaps you purchased a data quality profiling and/or cleansing tool but you are not sure how to make the best use of it. Maybe you are formalizing your information quality efforts and need a structured, yet flexible, approach to apply against the many data quality-related situations in your organization. Perhaps you were just given responsibility for information quality and you are not sure how to get started. If these sound familiar, this course is for you!
