Data Governance Is NOT The Same As IT Governance!
Gwen Thomas
Data Governance Institute
IT
Governance has found its way over the last few years into the consciousness
of corporate America as executives took up the battle cry of "It's
time to run IT like a business!" Business leaders demanded
more input into the large and expensive systems they were funding.
And the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires controls over financial
data - including controls over financial IT systems. As a result,
many organizations have implemented IT Governance programs.
Leaders searching for operational efficiencies may ask whether IT
Governance programs could be assigned responsibility for Data Governance.
Gwen Thomas, President of The Data Governance Institute, explains
five reasons why most IT Governance functions are ill-equipped to
govern data. Hear examples of:
· front-loaded versus recurring decisions
· trickle-down empowerment versus-trickle up accountability
· top-down versus non-hierarchical input
Learn
how to justify your own, independent program using terms your corporate
executives are familiar with.
Power, Control and Change in Data Governance
Expert Keynote Panel:
Data Governance Programs: Getting Started & Demonstrating Value
Moderator Robert S. Seiner, KIK Consulting & TDAN.com
Two
questions that are consistently raised during the early phases of
a Data Governance effort are: "How do I get started?"
and "How can I demonstrate the value of a Data Governance program?"
During
this one-hour keynote panel, Robert S. Seiner will engage several
experienced practitioners and industry recognized experts in a lively
discussion/Q&A focused on their experiences of initiating Data
Governance program activity and how they have been able to demonstrate
the value of these programs.
The
session will also include a focus on best practices and originating
an organizational framework that values and leverages existing structure
while addressing opportunities to improve.

Most
data governance efforts are met with great resistance. Why is that?
This presentation will help provide insight into human dynamics
that can either foster or hinder data governance efforts. In order
for data governance to flourish, there are critical principles that
are important not only to understand, but also to practice. This
presentation will explain core human issues in data governance programs
and will include interactive exercises to enable participants to
employ these principles in common data governance scenarios
This presentation will include:
· What data governance is and what it is not
· Core issues in data governance
· Explanations of key human and organizational dynamics such
as common power, control, vision, trust, and conflict management
and how play out in data governance
· How some organizations have succeeded with effective data
governance and how others have failed
· Exercises to practice effective usage of the principles
leading to effective governance
