This document discusses data governance challenges in the era of big data and proposes solutions. It begins by outlining the rise of data-driven businesses and the challenges they face with data quality, access, and trust issues. This has led to the rise of the Chief Data Officer role. The document then discusses how data governance approaches need to shift from hierarchical systems of record to more networked systems of engagement to manage expanding data volumes and types from sources like IoT and big data analytics. Key challenges discussed include digitalizing trust in data and addressing risks from opaque big data models. The document proposes taking a hybrid governance approach and implementing a system of record for data assets to provide findability, understandability and trust for all organizational data.

Data Governance and Metadata ManagementDATAVERSITY
Metadata is a tool that improves data understanding, builds end-user confidence, and improves the return on investment in every asset associated with becoming a data-centric organization. Metadata’s use has expanded beyond “data about data” to cover every phase of data analytics, protection, and quality improvement. Data Governance and metadata are connected at the hip in every way possible. As the song goes, “You can’t have one without the other.”
In this RWDG webinar, Bob Seiner will provide a way to renew your energy by focusing on the valuable asset that can make or break your Data Governance program’s success. The truth is metadata is already inherent in your data environment, and it can be leveraged by making it available to all levels of the organization. At issue is finding the most appropriate ways to leverage and share metadata to improve data value and protection.
Throughout this webinar, Bob will share information about:
- Delivering an improved definition of metadata
- Communicating the relationship between successful governance and metadata
- Getting your business community to embrace the need for metadata
- Determining the metadata that will provide the most bang for your bucks
- The importance of Metadata Management to becoming data-centric
Data Governance Takes a Village (So Why is Everyone Hiding?)DATAVERSITY
Data governance represents both an obstacle and opportunity for enterprises everywhere. And many individuals may hesitate to embrace the change. Yet if led well, a governance initiative has the potential to launch a data community that drives innovation and data-driven decision-making for the wider business. (And yes, it can even be fun!). So how do you build a roadmap to success?
This session will gather four governance experts, including Mary Williams, Associate Director, Enterprise Data Governance at Exact Sciences, and Bob Seiner, author of Non-Invasive Data Governance, for a roundtable discussion about the challenges and opportunities of leading a governance initiative that people embrace.

Data Management, Metadata Management, and Data Governance – Working TogetherDATAVERSITY
The data disciplines listed in the title must work together. The key to success requires understanding the boundaries and overlaps between the disciplines. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to present the relationships between the disciplines in a simple all-in diagram? At the end of this webinar, you will be able to do just that.
This new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner will outline how Data Management, Metadata Management, and Data Governance can be optimized to work together. Bob will share a diagram that has successfully communicated the relationship between these disciplines to leadership resulting in the disciplines working in harmony and delivering success.
Bob will share the following in this webinar:
- Categories of disciplines focused on managing data as an asset
- A definition of Data Management that embraces numerous data disciplines
- The importance of Metadata -Management to all data disciplines
- Why data and metadata require formal governance
- A graphic that effectively exhibits the relationship between the disciplines
Data Mesh is a new socio-technical approach to data architecture, first described by Zhamak Dehghani and popularised through a guest blog post on Martin Fowler's site.
Since then, community interest has grown, due to Data Mesh's ability to explain and address the frustrations that many organisations are experiencing as they try to get value from their data. The 2022 publication of Zhamak's book on Data Mesh further provoked conversation, as have the growing number of experience reports from companies that have put Data Mesh into practice.
So what's all the fuss about?
On one hand, Data Mesh is a new approach in the field of big data. On the other hand, Data Mesh is application of the lessons we have learned from domain-driven design and microservices to a data context.
In this talk, Chris and Pablo will explain how Data Mesh relates to current thinking in software architecture and the historical development of data architecture philosophies. They will outline what benefits Data Mesh brings, what trade-offs it comes with and when organisations should and should not consider adopting it.
Data protection and privacy regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) have been major drivers for data governance initiatives and the emergence of data catalog solutions. Organizations have an ever-increasing appetite to leverage their data for business advantage, either through internal collaboration, data sharing across ecosystems, direct commercialization, or as the basis for AI-driven business decision-making. This requires data governance and especially data asset catalog solutions to step up once again and enable data-driven businesses to leverage their data responsibly, ethically, compliantly, and accountably.
This presentation explores how data catalog has become a key technology enabler in overcoming these challenges.
The document discusses strategies for managing master data through a Master Data Management (MDM) solution. It outlines challenges with current data management practices and goals for an improved MDM approach. Key considerations for implementing an effective MDM strategy include identifying initial data domains, use cases, source systems, consumers, and the appropriate MDM patterns to address business needs.
Data Architecture Strategies: Data Architecture for Digital TransformationDATAVERSITY
MDM, data quality, data architecture, and more. At the same time, combining these foundational data management approaches with other innovative techniques can help drive organizational change as well as technological transformation. This webinar will provide practical steps for creating a data foundation for effective digital transformation.
This document discusses how Apache Kafka and event streaming fit within a data mesh architecture. It provides an overview of the key principles of a data mesh, including domain-driven decentralization, treating data as a first-class product, a self-serve data platform, and federated governance. It then explains how Kafka's publish-subscribe event streaming model aligns well with these principles by allowing different domains to independently publish and consume streams of data. The document also describes how Kafka can be used to ingest existing data sources, process data in real-time, and replicate data across the mesh in a scalable and interoperable way.
Presentation on Data Mesh: The paradigm shift is a new type of eco-system architecture, which is a shift left towards a modern distributed architecture in which it allows domain-specific data and views “data-as-a-product,” enabling each domain to handle its own data pipelines.

Modernizing Integration with Data VirtualizationDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3CMqS0E
Today, businesses have more data and data types combined with more complex ecosystems than they have ever had before. Examples include on-premise data marts, data warehouses, data lakes, applications, spreadsheets, IoT data, sensor data, unstructured, etc. combined with cloud data ecosystems like Snowflake, Big Query, Azure Synapse, Amazon S3, Redshift, Databricks, SaaS apps, such as Salesforce, Oracle, Service Now, Workday, and on and on.
Data, Analytics, Data Science and Architecture teams are struggling to provide the business users with the right data as quickly and efficiently as possible to quickly enable Analytics, Dashboards, BI, Reports, etc. Unfortunately, many enterprises seek to meet this pressing need by utilizing antiquated and legacy 40+ year-old approaches. There is a better way. Proven by thousands of other companies.
As Forrester so astutely reported in their recent Total Economic Impact Study, companies who employed Data Virtualization reported a “65% decrease in data delivery times over ETL” and an “83% reduction in time to new revenue.”
Join us for this very educational webinar to learn firsthand from Denodo Technologies and Fusion Alliance how:
- Data Virtualization helps your company save time and money by eliminating superfluous ETL pipelines and data replication.
- Data Virtualization can become the cornerstone of your modern data approach to deliver data faster and more efficiently than old legacy approaches at enterprise scale.
- How quickly and easily, Data Virtualization can scale, even in the most complex environments, to create a universal abstraction semantic model(s) for all of your cloud, on premise, structured, unstructured and hybrid data
- Data Mesh and Data Fabric architecture patterns for maximum reuse
- Other customers have used, and are using, Data Virtualization to tackle their toughest data integration and data delivery challenges
- Fusion Alliance can help you define a data strategy tailored to your organization’s needs and requirements, and how they can help you achieve success and enable your business with self-service capabilities
The data governance function exercises authority and control over the management of your mission critical assets and guides how all other data management functions are performed. When selling data governance to organizational management, it is useful to concentrate on the specifics that motivate the initiative. This means developing a specific vocabulary and set of narratives to facilitate understanding of your organizational business concepts. This webinar provides you with an understanding of what data governance functions are required and how they fit with other data management disciplines. Understanding these aspects is a necessary pre-requisite to eliminate the ambiguity that often surrounds initial discussions and implement effective data governance and stewardship programs that manage data in support of organizational strategy.

1) MDM is the process of creating a single point of reference for highly shared types of data like customers, products, and suppliers. It links multiple data sources to ensure consistent policies for accessing, updating, and routing exceptions for master data.
2) Successful MDM requires defining business needs, setting up governance roles, designing flexible platforms, and engaging lines of business in incremental programs. Common challenges include lack of clear business cases and roadmaps.
3) Key aspects of MDM include modeling shared data, managing data quality, enabling stewardship of data, and integrating/propagating master data to operational systems in real-time or batch processes.
Enabling a Data Mesh Architecture with Data VirtualizationDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3rwWhyv
The Data Mesh architectural design was first proposed in 2019 by Zhamak Dehghani, principal technology consultant at Thoughtworks, a technology company that is closely associated with the development of distributed agile methodology. A data mesh is a distributed, de-centralized data infrastructure in which multiple autonomous domains manage and expose their own data, called “data products,” to the rest of the organization.
Organizations leverage data mesh architecture when they experience shortcomings in highly centralized architectures, such as the lack domain-specific expertise in data teams, the inflexibility of centralized data repositories in meeting the specific needs of different departments within large organizations, and the slow nature of centralized data infrastructures in provisioning data and responding to changes.
In this session, Pablo Alvarez, Global Director of Product Management at Denodo, explains how data virtualization is your best bet for implementing an effective data mesh architecture.
You will learn:
- How data mesh architecture not only enables better performance and agility, but also self-service data access
- The requirements for “data products” in the data mesh world, and how data virtualization supports them
- How data virtualization enables domains in a data mesh to be truly autonomous
- Why a data lake is not automatically a data mesh
- How to implement a simple, functional data mesh architecture using data virtualization
- Azure Databricks provides a curated platform for data science and machine learning workloads using notebooks, data services, and machine learning tools.
- Only a small fraction of real-world machine learning systems is composed of the actual machine learning code, as vast surrounding infrastructure is required for data collection, feature extraction, model training, and deployment.
- Azure Databricks can be used across many industries for applications like customer analytics, financial modeling, healthcare analytics, industrial IoT, and cybersecurity threat detection through machine learning on structured and unstructured data.

It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and Data Architecture. William will kick off the fourth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
MIT ICIQ 2017 Keynote: Data Governance and Data Capitalization in the Big Dat...Pieter De Leenheer
We live in the age of abundant data. Through technology, more data is available, and the processing of that data easier and cheaper than ever before. But to realize the true value of this wealth of data, data leaders must rethink our assumptions, processes, and approaches to managing, governing, and stewarding that data. And to succeed, they must deliver credible, coherent, and trustworthy data into the hands of everyone who can use it.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for data governance in the era of big data. It argues that traditional hierarchical models of data governance are insufficient and that a hybrid approach is needed that combines hierarchical control with networked empowerment. Specifically, it recommends (1) focusing on digitalizing trust through social capital, (2) shifting from predictive analytics to lifetime customer value, and (3) establishing Chief Data Officer leadership to oversee a collaborative, hybrid approach.

In the recent Building the Unified Data Warehouse and Data Lake report by leading industry analysts TDWI, we have discovered 64% of organizations stated the objective for a unified Data Warehouse and Data Lakes is to get more business value and 84% of organizations polled felt that a unified approach to Data Warehouses and Data Lakes was either extremely or moderately important.
In this session, you will learn how your organization can apply a logical data fabric and the associated technologies of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data virtualization can reduce time to value. Hence, increasing the overall business value of your data assets.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- How a Logical Data Fabric is the right approach to assist organizations to unify their data.
- The advanced features of a Logical Data Fabric that assist with the democratization of data, providing an agile and governed approach to business analytics and data science.
- How a Logical Data Fabric with Data Virtualization enhances your legacy data integration landscape to simplify data access and encourage self-service.
Reference matter data management:
Two categories of structured data :
Master data: is data associated with core business entities such as customer, product, asset, etc.
Transaction data: is the recording of business transactions such as orders in manufacturing, loan and credit card payments in banking, and product sales in retail.
Reference data: is any kind of data that is used solely to categorize other data found in a database, or solely for relating data in a database to information beyond the boundaries of the enterprise .
This is Part 4 of the GoldenGate series on Data Mesh - a series of webinars helping customers understand how to move off of old-fashioned monolithic data integration architecture and get ready for more agile, cost-effective, event-driven solutions. The Data Mesh is a kind of Data Fabric that emphasizes business-led data products running on event-driven streaming architectures, serverless, and microservices based platforms. These emerging solutions are essential for enterprises that run data-driven services on multi-cloud, multi-vendor ecosystems.
Join this session to get a fresh look at Data Mesh; we'll start with core architecture principles (vendor agnostic) and transition into detailed examples of how Oracle's GoldenGate platform is providing capabilities today. We will discuss essential technical characteristics of a Data Mesh solution, and the benefits that business owners can expect by moving IT in this direction. For more background on Data Mesh, Part 1, 2, and 3 are on the GoldenGate YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbqmhpwYrlZJ-583p3KQGDAd6038i1ywe

1) MDM is the process of creating a single point of reference for highly shared types of data like customers, products, and suppliers. It links multiple data sources to ensure consistent policies for accessing, updating, and routing exceptions for master data.
2) Successful MDM requires defining business needs, setting up governance roles, designing flexible platforms, and engaging lines of business in incremental programs. Common challenges include lack of clear business cases and roadmaps.
3) Key aspects of MDM include modeling shared data, managing data quality, enabling stewardship of data, and integrating/propagating master data to operational systems in real-time or batch processes.
Enabling a Data Mesh Architecture with Data VirtualizationDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3rwWhyv
The Data Mesh architectural design was first proposed in 2019 by Zhamak Dehghani, principal technology consultant at Thoughtworks, a technology company that is closely associated with the development of distributed agile methodology. A data mesh is a distributed, de-centralized data infrastructure in which multiple autonomous domains manage and expose their own data, called “data products,” to the rest of the organization.
Organizations leverage data mesh architecture when they experience shortcomings in highly centralized architectures, such as the lack domain-specific expertise in data teams, the inflexibility of centralized data repositories in meeting the specific needs of different departments within large organizations, and the slow nature of centralized data infrastructures in provisioning data and responding to changes.
In this session, Pablo Alvarez, Global Director of Product Management at Denodo, explains how data virtualization is your best bet for implementing an effective data mesh architecture.
You will learn:
- How data mesh architecture not only enables better performance and agility, but also self-service data access
- The requirements for “data products” in the data mesh world, and how data virtualization supports them
- How data virtualization enables domains in a data mesh to be truly autonomous
- Why a data lake is not automatically a data mesh
- How to implement a simple, functional data mesh architecture using data virtualization
- Azure Databricks provides a curated platform for data science and machine learning workloads using notebooks, data services, and machine learning tools.
- Only a small fraction of real-world machine learning systems is composed of the actual machine learning code, as vast surrounding infrastructure is required for data collection, feature extraction, model training, and deployment.
- Azure Databricks can be used across many industries for applications like customer analytics, financial modeling, healthcare analytics, industrial IoT, and cybersecurity threat detection through machine learning on structured and unstructured data.

Master Data Management (MDM) can provide significant value to the organization in creating consistent key data assets such as Customer, Product, Supplier, Patient, and the list goes on. But getting MDM “right” requires a strategic mix of Data Architecture, business process, and Data Governance. Join this webinar to learn how to find the “sweet spot” between technology, design, process, and people for your MDM initiative.
Master Data Management – Aligning Data, Process, and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Master Data Management (MDM) provides organizations with an accurate and comprehensive view of their business-critical data such as customers, products, vendors, and more. While mastering these key data areas can be a complex task, the value of doing so can be tremendous – from real-time operational integration to data warehousing and analytic reporting. This webinar will provide practical strategies for gaining value from your MDM initiative, while at the same time assuring a solid architectural and governance foundation that will ensure long-term, enterprise-wide success.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and Data Architecture. William will kick off the fourth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
MIT ICIQ 2017 Keynote: Data Governance and Data Capitalization in the Big Dat...Pieter De Leenheer
We live in the age of abundant data. Through technology, more data is available, and the processing of that data easier and cheaper than ever before. But to realize the true value of this wealth of data, data leaders must rethink our assumptions, processes, and approaches to managing, governing, and stewarding that data. And to succeed, they must deliver credible, coherent, and trustworthy data into the hands of everyone who can use it.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for data governance in the era of big data. It argues that traditional hierarchical models of data governance are insufficient and that a hybrid approach is needed that combines hierarchical control with networked empowerment. Specifically, it recommends (1) focusing on digitalizing trust through social capital, (2) shifting from predictive analytics to lifetime customer value, and (3) establishing Chief Data Officer leadership to oversee a collaborative, hybrid approach.
Usama Fayyad talk in South Africa: From BigData to Data ScienceUsama Fayyad
Public talk by Barclays CDO Usama Fayyad in South Africa: both at University of Pretoria (GIBS) - Johannesburg and at Workshop17 in Capetown July 14-15, 2015
The document discusses the emergence and future of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) role. It outlines how data strategies have evolved from governance to monetization as data has increased in volume and importance. The CDO role emerged to oversee organizations' data as a strategic asset. Successful CDOs demonstrate six personas: Evangelist, Educator, Protector, Quant, Architect, and Politician. These personas focus on strategy, education, governance, analytics, architecture, and stakeholder management. The document concludes that for CDOs to be effective, they must find the right person, demonstrate quick wins, avoid distractions, build a team, secure funding, and ease disruptions caused by changes in how the

Introduction to Big Data
Big Data is a massive collection of data that is growing exponentially over time.
It is a data set that is so large and complex that traditional data management tools cannot store or process it efficiently.
Big data is a type of data that is extremely large in size.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Talking about Big Data generates a lot of questions; however, most of the focus is on the technologies and skills required to collect and store this volume of information as opposed to the insight that companies need to derive from it. What factors should organizations consider in order to ensure that they are capitalizing on their investments with these technologies? How do you break through business silos to enable sharing of data to increase organizational value? Leveraging his cross-industry experience at companies like The Walt Disney Company, Travelers Insurance and Demand Media, Brendan Aldrich will discuss the question of “big value” with industry examples and a particular focus on his current work to deploy a “data democracy” within the City Colleges of Chicago.
Session Discovery Topics:
• Big value - keeping an eye on the forest (assumptions, judgment and bias)
• Data democracy - increasing productivity with data transparency and open access

TiE DC GovCon Panel on Emerging Technologies: AI/ML/Blockchain/Data Managemen...Pieter De Leenheer
Pieter De Leenheer presented on the future of data and policy. Technologies have created new ways to use and value data. Data collection, processing, and sharing responsibilities have diffused and control of data has become less institutional. The cycles of data technology and policy have compressed in time. Public health crises will likely drive new data regulations, as the 2008 financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic have previously done. There are opportunities to create value from AI but also increasing ethical and regulatory challenges to address regarding data use and privacy concerns. Multi-platform innovation, data sharing protocols, smart contracts, and education can help balance data innovation and policy requirements going forward.
The Data Driven University - Automating Data Governance and Stewardship in Au...Pieter De Leenheer
The document discusses implementing data governance and stewardship programs at universities. It provides examples of programs at Stanford University, George Washington University, and in the Flanders region of Belgium. The key aspects covered are:
- Establishing a data governance framework with roles, processes, asset definitions. and oversight council.
- Implementing data stewardship activities like data quality management, metadata development, and reference data management.
- Stanford's program established foundations for institutional research through data quality and context definitions.
- George Washington runs a centralized program managed by the IT governance office.
- The Flanders program provides research information and services across universities through consistent definitions, roles and collaborative workflows.
Business Semantics for Data Governance and StewardshipPieter De Leenheer
Data quality and regulations are perpetual drivers for Data Governance and Stewardship solutions that systematically monitor the execution of data policy. And yet, there is a long road ahead to achieve Trust in Data. It is still a relatively unknown topic or comes with trauma from past failed attempts; there is no political framework with executive champions, leading to reactive rather than proactive behavior, and software support is marginal.
Data Governance and Stewardship requires automation of business semantics management at its nucleus, in order to achieve a wide adoption and confluence of Data Trust between business and IT communities in the organization.
In this lecture, we start by reviewing 'C' in ICT and reflect on the dilemma: what is the most important quality of data: truth or trust? We review the wide spectrum of business semantics. We visit the different phases of data pain as a company grows, and we map their situation on this spectrum of semantics.
Next, we introduce the principles and framework for business semantics management to support data governance and stewardship focusing on the structural (what), processual (how) and organizational (who) components. We illustrate with stories from the field.
Data Stewardship and Governance: how to reach global adoption and systematic ...Pieter De Leenheer
Data quality and regulations are perpetual drivers for Data Governance solutions that systematically monitor the execution of data policy. And yet, there is along road ahead to achieve Data Governance: the term is still relatively unknown, there is no political forum in the form of a Data Governance Council, and software support is moderate. Time for change ! Data Governance requires automation on the one hand and a wide adoption of business to ICT on the other.
In this lecture, we set out the basic principles to successful develop Data Governance. By way of example, we show how to translate this in Collibra's Data Governance Center. We pay particular attention to identifying and modelling data policies and rules, and to empowering them on the basis of data stewardship and configurable workflows across silos and functions in the organization. The example is drawn from the Flanders Research Information Space, where data quality is critical to drive and boost pan-European Research policy.
Business Service Semantics: Ontological Representation & Governance of Busine...Pieter De Leenheer
The Internet would enable new ways for service innovation and trading, as well as for analysing the resulting value networks, with an unprecedented level of scale and dynamics. Yet most related eco- nomic activities remain of a largely brittle and manual nature. Service- oriented business implementations focus on operational aspects at the cost of value creation aspects such as quality and regulatory compliance. Indeed they enforce how to carry out a certain business in a prefixed non-adaptive manner rather than capturing the semantics of a business domain in a way that would enable service systems to adapt their role in changing value propositions. In this paper we set requirements for SDL- compliant business service semantics, and propose a method for their ontological representation and governance. We demonstrate an imple- mentation of our approach in the context of service-oriented Information Governance.
Open Standards for the Semantic Web: XML / RDF(S) / OWL / SOAPPieter De Leenheer
This lecture elaborates on RDF, RDFS, and SOAP starting from a short recap of XML, and the history of the W3C and the development of "open standard recommendations". We also compare RDF triples with DOGMA lexons. We finalise by listing shortcomings of RDFS regarding semantics, and give short overview of the history of OWL as one answer to this. A full elaboration on OWL and description logic is for another lecture.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

• Scarcity: Few consumers, few producers
• Compromises on old obsolete cost assumptions of digital power
• Use of digital optimizes to some extent
• Not scalable for big data by larger ‘data scientist’ populations
• Networked data governance (systems of engagement)
• CDO as an Experimenter: Outward / Big Data / Strategy
• Offensive: Value-driven
• Abundance

transaction is not competitive anymore
• from 'predict next transaction' to life-long relation
building and value creation
• reduce search and navigation for customer with
better apps
• crowd sourcing to cross compare with and learn
from other customers (Opower, INRIX, zillow)
• get trust from customer through branded non-intrusive
apps: personal health monitoring, Nest

Challenges
• In Hierarchical Data Governance, trust is
• established by a centrally sanctioned competence center
• Or external appointed trustees with formal roles: steward,
owners, architects
• In Networked Data Governance, trust is more complicated:
• Authenticity: is the data factual or opinioned?
• Intention: does this data have good intentions? Can I use
it without peril? Hidden privacy concerns I should be
aware of?
• Assess expertise or quality: are people involved skilled or
certified stewards?
• Is it accurately representing our business reality, i.e.
customer base?
• Is it complete and up to date?
• Has it be certified through standard process?
30. Danger of the old paradigm models
• Weapons of Math Destruction (WMD) are
models
• Threaten to destabilize
• Equality
• Democracy
• Traits of WMDs
• Opaque
• Unregulated
• Uncontestable
• …hence : ungoverned
31. Preliminary Conclusions
• Digital forces have digitally empowered individuals in the organization
• Hybrid data governance approach should combine
• Top-down governance of critical data assets to enhance internal coordination
• Networked peer-driven empowerment to drive ‘serendipity’
• On a shared platform
• Key challenges are:
• Digitalization of trust with focus on social capital
• Big data analytics that drives life-time value for customer
• Data Valuation based on Usage
• Legacy of oblique, unregulated and incontestable models
• Recognize CDO Leadership and Role transition
37. 3 Industries
• Technology – Big Data Valuation
• Health Care – Reference Data
• Manufacturing – IoT and GDPR
• Banking - Compliance
• Can you identify hierarchical vs networked mechanisms in these
business cases?
39. Not all data is of equal value
• At Dell, lean data governance:
catalogs an inventory of all types of
data assets while implementing a
minimum set of business specific
metadata attributes
• Data is governed based on level of
consumption – the value of the
data and how much is shared
• Categorized as enterprise
supported “operationalized" or
innovation discovery

41. Reference Data in Health Care
• Independence is the leading health
insurer in southeastern
Pennsylvania.
• Serve close to seven million
people nationwide, including
2.1 million in the region.
• 42,000 physicians
• 160 hospitals

42. IoT + GDPR in Manufacturing
• Internet of Things and GDPR
• From responsive to competitive advantage
• Steps
• Identify processes ‘touching’ EU citizen data: employees / customers /…
• Identify critical data elements: name, SSN, address
• Lineage / Traceability

44. Compliance in Banking - Scorecard
• How many Critical Data Elements (CDEs) have a dedicated
stewardship resource assigned?
• Are those Business Stewards actively participating in stewardship
activities?
• Are CDEs progressing through the expected life cycle?
• Are relations to physical data assets and source systems defined?
• Is data profiling occurring based on defined Data Quality Rules?

Explosion of mobie devices
* Evolution , not transformation because the latter would not take into account the “creative destruction” part.
An acceleration will happen as many of these young data citizens will enter the job market and change their employers behaviour.
Data-driven is the word of the day. Increasingly depending on data to thrive
According to Forrester Research, even though 74% of firms say they want to be data-driven, in reality, only 29% say the are good at connecting analytics to action.
There are many reasons why this happens. See if this one sounds familiar:
You spend hours preparing for a meeting. You collect the data you need from finance, IT, and even retrieve some from the data lake. You analyze it from every angle, and prepare your insights and recommendations. You’re confident in your findings, and are ready to make your data-driven argument.
But before you have a chance to present, your colleague presents her findings and recommendations, using data he analyzed from the data lake, salesforce.com, and IT. It’s vaguely familiar, but distinctly different and leads to a data-driven argument with a completely different conclusion.
Now, instead of making a data driven argument, you find yourself engaged in a data brawl. The meeting is no longer focused on the decisions at hand, but rather on answering questions about the data itself:
Where did it come from?
What does it mean?
What metrics were applied to it?
Who can access it?
It is correct? If not, how can I fix it?
Everyone realizes that “data-driven” doesn’t work without trustworthy data.
In an effort to answer those questions so this situation doesn’t happen again, you head back to your office and put in place processes driven by Excel spreadsheets, emails, meetings, and Sharepoint documents. You track information about the data - where it comes from, who can access it, what it means, and more - in all these different ways, holding the process together with duct tape and string. Your colleague does the same, and before you know it, many people across your organization have a similar process that they follow, which only multiplies the problem. These processes are inefficient, inaccurate, and expensive. It’s no wonder your meetings dissolve into data brawls. This approach isn’t just unsustainable – it simply doesn’t work.
ENDLESS MEETINGS – people fly in every two weeks
On the left side of the diagram, you have the traditional data infrastructure (IT) and they are coping with the trend of exploding volumes and types of data.
In addition, data growth is becoming more and more complex, increasing their challenge.
At the same time, on the right side, you have the business who need to report more complex data, faster than ever, as well as a need for analytics.
This can include internal reports, which are often compiled manually on spreadsheets; often reports rely on multiple layers of interrelated spreadsheets. This makes it more difficult than ever to trust and depend on the data.
Then from the Business focus, in the center, you have all kinds of trends like consumerization of IT (where IT is purchasing software tools), social and data maturity.
This leads to a need for a data authority. #
If all these communication channels are in place, we can trace whereabouts and usage of every data product individually, from the definition level down to the storage.

Outwards: e.g., manufacturing company may agree with his suppliers and distributors on 1 global product ID
Traditional: enterprise-level MDM, BI and Analytics
Big Data: more on the application level, more self-service BI, more data scientist experimenting with big data require appropr. Approvals for data usage and sharing
Data as a service as immediate need to improve service quality, regulatory compliance, reputation of the company
Data as a strategy: build aggregated data products and resell them as a strategy: e.g., the ab company selling GPS information of cabs to Google.
Top-down :
methodological step-wise decomposition into sub components ‘black boxes’ in a reverse engineering fasion
Presumes a preconcpetion of the ‘big picture’
Bottom =-up
Allowed behaviour based on simple rules set
Subsystems gives rise to complex systems
Original systems become subsystems of the emeging ssytem

Seed model
To be data driven, an organization needs three things:
Knowing where its data comes from
Knowing what it means, and
Knowing that it’s right
What if everyone in your organization had the same ability – to find, understand, and trust their data?
This is what Collibra brings to its clients:
Collibra allows you to find, understand and trust your data.
Finding data by giving you a catalog which ingests information about datasets and the metadata underneath.
Understanding data by putting this metadata into context. By linking it to business concepts: tags, business units, data dimensions, KPI’s reports...
And finally Collibra allows you to trust this information by enabling policy management, a data helpdesk and the worlds best stewardship platform.
