Data Empathy-How to Win in Health Care Kevin Mooney, Senior Director, Enterprise Data Governance, Cleveland Clinic Josna Koshy, Product Manager Enterprise Data Governance, Cleveland Clinic While Data Governance has a long-standing body of practice and knowledge in other industries like banking and finance, it is less mature in other sectors, especially in Healthcare.

At the Cleveland Clinic, historically, our mission is to get the right data to the right people at the right time, while keeping sensitive data safe and secure. There is nothing more sacred in healthcare than Patient Information and its care and governance is mandatory. This session will educate the audience on how to overcome these challenges by covering the below topics:

Data Discovery & Intelligence: The Key to Unlocking Synergies in Data Governance, Privacy and Security Dan Sholler, Senior Director of Product Marketing, BigID Business understanding of the value of data governance programs is growing. But in practice these programs are often held back because the scale of the effort is unappreciated, and they are riddled with conflicting goals. Data professionals are chartered with unlocking the value of data, and at the same time enforcing rules about its use. While these objectives are seemingly at odds, it is possible to harness these challenges and enable them to reinforce one another. It turns out that many data governance problems arise because of limitations on what data is governed, and what we know about that data. Learn how to build a foundation of data intelligence, and a data registry complete with the correct contextual information about the data. This in turn can drive simultaneously reinforcing governance, privacy and security management efforts. This presentation will discuss how leading organizations have tackled issues such as data lake governance, CCPA, and document security synergistically:

Data Intelligence: Empowering the Citizen Analyst to Realize True Business Value Danny Sandwell, Director, Product Marketing, erwin, Inc. The intersection of three technological advances 1) exploding data production, 2) scalable big data computation, and 3) the accessibility of advanced analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence – have established a fertile environment for data innovation. As such, we’ve seen the rise of the “citizen analyst” who brings business acumen and subject-matter expertise closer to discovering strategic and tactical data-driven insights. But the opaqueness, complexity and siloed nature of enterprise data has hindered this role, increasing the risk of failure and swelling the time and effort to realize true business benefits. As with any complex mission, the key to achieving your objectives is sound, actionable intelligence. In the case of empowering the citizen analyst, shared enterprise data assets must be made available to a broad set of data consumers in a governed way. This governed data intelligence includes:

A Comprehensive Enterprise Data Model is Foundational to Successful Data Governance Kevin Schofield, President, ADRM Software, Inc While many focus on processes and roles when planning data governance and stewardship programs, too often not enough attention is paid to the data that is to be governed. This talk will explain why the speaker's experience has lead him to the conclusion that a comprehensive and detailed enterprise data model is foundational for organizations who want to ensure the success of their data governance and stewardship programs. Defining and establishing data governance processes and roles is important, but without clear and precise communication about the data that is being governed and the scope of responsibility of individual data stewards, there is significant risk that data governance efforts will not achieve the desired benefits. This talk will highlight some of the ways in which a comprehensive enterprise data model can improve and accelerate data governance initiatives including:
