As businesses struggle to come to grips with the data tsunami, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance business unit performance. Unfortunately however, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approaches. Overall, poor organizational data management (OM) capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This workshop will cover three lessons as illustrated in examples, which will help you to establish realistic OM plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers.</p> <p>Among others, you'll walk away with three takeaways:</p> <ul> <li> That organizational thinking must change: Value-added data management practices must be considered and included as a vital part of your business 's strategy. </li> <li> Walk before you run with data focused initiatives: Understand and implement necessary data management prerequisites as a foundation, then build upon that foundation. </li> <li> That there are no silver bullets: Tools alone are not the answer. Specifying business requirements, business practices and data governance are almost always more important. <p> <br><b> Speaker Bio: </b> Peter Aiken, Ph.D., is widely acclaimed as one of the top ten data management authorities worldwide.
