Session Agenda

This all-day session is about developing a plan and giving you the materials for you to champion (or convince someone else to champion) a data strategy initiative. This DAMA Day will begin early and ask you to spend some time assessing the data components within your organization. You will be asked about:

  • Data Quality
  • Business Intelligence
  • Security
  • Metadata
  • Integration
  • Stewardship/Ownership

In the session we will also address:

  • The value of data governance/data strategy
  • How to get started with a data governance/data strategy program
  • Ownership versus stewardship
  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

There are others in your organization who have a stake in data. Consider involving them in the assessment and also consider bringing them on the 26th. By including your CTO, you will have a good chance of actually implementing a data governance/data strategy program.

The session will be peppered with exercises, discussions, and opportunities for you to ask the questions that will allow you to tailor a data governance/data strategy plan to your organization.
