South African data management solutions company InfoBlueprint, provider of specialist services for data quality management, data governance, and master data management, has partnered with KIK Consulting and Education Services, based in the US, to provide a two-day intensive training course entitled: “Non-Invasive Data Governance”.
“Most leading organisations overseas have begun defining data governance strategies and roadmaps to effectively govern the integration, the usability, the quality and the risks associated with data and information,” says Bryn Davies, MD of InfoBlueprint.
“These organisations have realised that, in order to quickly demonstrate value without requiring the extensive investment of resources, a practical and pragmatic approach to data governance is essential. For this reason, many have looked to the techniques developed by Robert S Seiner of KIK Consulting.”
"Non-Invasive Data Governance" has been accepted into the culture of many companies and organisations through the leveraging of existing strengths while addressing opportunities to improve, says Seiner. "Non-Invasive Data Governance" focuses on people-oriented continuous improvement by formalising behaviour around the governance of data, and does not require tremendous resources to accomplish its goals.”
Seiner, who is also the publisher of the internationally respected Web site: “The Data Administration Newsletter” www.tdan.com, has been a specialist in the implementation of data governance and data stewardship programs, data management, data architecture, meta-data management, and knowledge management programs, for more than 20 years.
The course in South African in August will focus on topics such as:
* Defining data governance and data stewardship program business and technical goals and objectives.
* Defining organisational time commitments and tasks - what does it really take?
* Managing data by domains, master data areas and subject area.
* Developing data conflict resolution paths - design, production, usage conflicts.
* Defining measurements and metrics of data governance/stewardship success.
Any organisation that has recognised data as a valuable asset, and wishes to optimise data quality, data reliability, data security, data compliance and data management costs, should attend this highly regarded course. Those charged with functions relating to business intelligence, data quality, data warehousing, governance, risk and compliance, master data management, customer relationship management and the optimisation of business processes, will benefit greatly from the training.
