Where would you start? What approach would you take? This presentation details just such a journey at a major membership and insurance provider. The business is totally committed to Data Governance, and looked to the presenter to tell them what to do, from laying out the plan to determining what tools they have and what they need. And the presenter had to live with the results! David Plotkin will teach you how to:\n<ul><li>Set realistic expectations</li>\n<li>Get the message out</li>\n<li>Figure out an approach</li>\n<li>Adjust project methodology to include metadata, data quality, and governance</li>\n<li>Stand up a Data Governance organization</li></ul>\nThis second half of the workshop by Robert S. Seiner examines several active Data Governance case studies, the trials and tribulations of getting started, the peaks and valleys of getting rolling, and the open doorways and brick walls of demonstrating value.  Not all of these organizations take the same approach and some yield very different results.  Listening to, and learning from, their experiences will enable attendees to anticipate the needs of their organization, sell the basic and complex concepts, and provide their management and staff a practical perspective of what data governance will mean to their organization.\n  \nThis workshop focuses on:\n<ul><li>The different reasons why companies and organizations put programs in place</li>\n<li>The different ways organizations sell and market the concepts and practices of Data Governance to their senior and executive management</li>\n<li>The different ways organizations define roles & responsibilities </li>\n<li>The different ways organizations apply data governance to daily tasks of managing data</li>\n<li>The different ways that organizations demonstrate value from their programs</li></ul>\nThis session has been developed to be interactive.  Attend prepared to discuss your organization?s data governance environment, your successes and opportunities to improve.  Expect to take away the best practices and lessons learned from the presenter?s case studies as well as others that attend this session.
