The document discusses New Zealand's Government Enterprise Architecture (GEA-NZ) which includes several dimensions such as strategy, governance, standards, identity/privacy/security, business processes, data and information, and technology. Data and information governance is important to guide how data is created, transformed, and shared across government agencies. The goals of data governance include increasing consistency, maximizing benefits, and managing risks around data use. The document outlines New Zealand's data governance structure and principles, which include having common data definitions, documenting data assets, defining roles and responsibilities, assuring data quality, and guiding how data is used and managed. Agencies conduct self-assessments against a maturity model to evaluate their progress on data governance practices

Data Architecture - The Foundation for Enterprise Architecture and GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Organizations are faced with an increasingly complex data landscape, finding themselves unable to cope with exponentially increasing data volumes, compounded by additional regulatory requirements with increased fines for non-compliance. Enterprise architecture and data governance are often discussed at length, but often with different stakeholder audiences. This can result in complementary and sometimes conflicting initiatives rather than a focused, integrated approach. Data governance requires a solid data architecture foundation in order to support the pillars of enterprise architecture. In this session, IDERA’s Ron Huizenga will discuss a practical, integrated approach to effectively understand, define and implement an cohesive enterprise architecture and data governance discipline with integrated modeling and metadata management.
To take a “ready, aim, fire” tactic to implement Data Governance, many organizations assess themselves against industry best practices. The process is not difficult or time-consuming and can directly assure that your activities target your specific needs. Best practices are always a strong place to start.
Join Bob Seiner for this popular RWDG topic, where he will provide the information you need to set your program in the best possible direction. Bob will walk you through the steps of conducting an assessment and share with you a set of typical results from taking this action. You may be surprised at how easy it is to organize the assessment and may hear results that stimulate the actions that you need to take.
In this webinar, Bob will share:
- The value of performing a Data Governance best practice assessment
- A practical list of industry Data Governance best practices
- Criteria to determine if a practice is best practice
- Steps to follow to complete an assessment
- Typical recommendations and actions that result from an assessment

Data Driven Culture with Slalom's Director of AnalyticsPromotable
Everyone wants to capture the benefits of big data by making better data driven decision. We are inundated by analytical tools that deliver "insights" and process information quickly.
Although often overlooked, creating a data driven culture is as important as finding the right tools to make data driven decisions. Organizations who skip this foundational element often find their investment in Data tools and personal don't yield the benefits that becoming Data Driven is supposed to unlock.
In this talk you'll learn about why creating a Data Driven culture is vital to every organization and the starting point for ensuring your data strategy generates strong impact and ROI.
Takeaways:
What is a data driven culture? Where does it start?
What happens when you implement tools (tableau, power BI, Machine Learning, etc) without first having a data driven culture
Stages of a Data Driven Culture?
How to get started?

Information Governance, Managing Data To Lower Risk and Costs, and E-Discover...David Kearney
Information governance, records and information management, and data disposition policies are ways to help lower costs and mitigate risks for organizations. Policies and procedures to actively manage data are not just an IT "problem," they're a collaborative business initiative that is a must in today's "big data" environment. With electronic discovery rules, government regulations and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, all organizations must proactively take steps to manage their data with well-governed processes and controls, or be willing to face the risks and costs that come along with keeping everything. Organizations must know what information they have, where it is located, the duration data must be retained and what information would be needed when responding to an event.
There have been numerous instances of severe legal penalties for organizations that did not have an electronic data strategy, tools, processes and controls to locate and understand their own data. In addition, the risks of unmanaged data include skyrocketing infrastructure and personnel costs and an increase in attorney time to manage massive amounts of data when a litigation event occurs.
Information governance is needed much like any business continuity and disaster recovery plans, but with an understanding of data: where data are located, how data are managed, event response, and regular testing of processes and procedures for preparedness.

Information governance is needed much like any business continuity and disaster recovery plans, but with an understanding of data: where data are located, how data are managed, event response, and regular testing of processes and procedures for preparedness.
A successful data governance capability requires a strategy to align regulatory drivers and technology enhancement initiatives with business needs and objectives, taking into account the organizational, technological and cultural changes that will need to take place.
As businesses generate and manage vast amounts of data, companies have more opportunities to gather data, incorporate insights into business strategy and continuously expand access to data across the organisation. Doing so effectively—leveraging data for strategic objectives—is often easier said
than done, however. This report, Transforming data into action: the business outlook for data governance, explores the business contributions of data governance at organisations globally and across industries, the challenges faced in creating useful data governance policies and the opportunities to improve such programmes.

Information
Governance and
Information Technology
Functions
Information technology (IT) is a core function impacted by information gover-ynance (IG) efforts. IT departments typically have been charged with keeping the “plumbing” of IT intact—the network, servers, applications, and data—but although
the output of IT is in their custody, they have not been held to account for it; that
is, the information, reports, and databases they generate have long been held to be
owned by users in business units. This has left a gap of responsibility for governing
the information that is being generated and managing it in accordance with legal and
regulatory requirements, standards, and best practices.
Certainly, on the IT side, shared responsibility for IG means the IT department
itself must take a closer look at IT processes and activities with an eye to IG. A
focus on improving IT effi ciency, software development processes, and data quality
will help contribute to the overall IG program effort. IT is an integral piece of the
program.
Debra Logan, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner, states:
Information governance is the only way to comply with regulations, both cur-
rent and future, and responsibility for it lies with the CIO and the chief legal
offi cer. When organizations suffer high-profi le data losses, especially involv-
ing violations of the privacy of citizens or consumers, they suffer serious repu-
tational damage and often incur fi nes or other sanctions. IT leaders will have
to take at least part of the blame for these incidents. 1
Gartner predicts that the need to implement IG is so critical that, by 2016, fully
one in fi ve chief information offi cers (CIOs) will be terminated for their inability to
implement IG successfully.
Aaron Zornes, chief research offi cer at the MDM (Master Data Management)
Institute, stated: “While most organizations’ information governance efforts have fo-
cused on IT metrics and mechanics such as duplicate merge/purge rates, they tend to
ignore the industry- and business-metrics orientation that is required to ensure the
economic success of their programs.” 2
190 INFORMATION GOVERNANCE
Four IG best practices in this area can help CIOs and IT leaders to be successful
in delivering business value as a result of IG efforts:
1. Don’t focus on technology, focus on business impact
Technology often enthralls those in IT—to the point of obfuscating the
reason that technologies are leveraged in the fi rst place: to deliver business
benefi t. So IT needs to reorient its language, its vernacular, its very focus
when implementing IG programs. IT needs to become more business savvy,
more businesslike, more focused on delivering business benefi ts that can help
the organization to meet its business goals and achieve its business objectives.
“Business leaders want t.
In this new paper, I explore the organisational and cultural challenges of implementing information governance and data quality. I identify potential problems with the traditional centralised methods of data quality management, and offer alternative organistional models which can enable a more distributed and democratised approach to improving your organisations data. I also propose a simple four-step approach to delivering immediate business value from your data.

Federated data organizations in public sector face more challenges today than ever before. As discovered via research performed by North Highland Consulting, these are the top issues you are most likely experiencing:
• Knowing what data is available to support programs and other business functions
• Data is more difficult to access
• Without insight into the lineage of data, it is risky to use as the basis for critical decisions
• Analyzing data and extracting insights to influence outcomes is difficult at best
The solution to solving these challenges lies in creating a holistic enterprise data governance program and enforcing the program with a full-featured enterprise data management platform. Kreig Fields, Principle, Public Sector Data and Analytics, from North Highland Consulting and Rob Karel, Vice President, Product Strategy and Product Marketing, MDM from Informatica will walk through a pragmatic, “How To” approach, full of useful information on how you can improve your agency’s data governance initiatives.
Learn how to kick start your data governance intiatives and how an enterprise data management platform can help you:
• Innovate and expose hidden opportunities
• Break down data access barriers and ensure data is trusted
• Provide actionable information at the speed of business

1. Intro…
I designed the GEA-NZ which has several dimensions: Strategy, investment & Policy; Governance &
Performance; Standards; Identity, Privacy & Security; Business –which includes
customer/channels/product & services/people & organisation/processes-; Data and Information, and
Technology which enables all of this.
Data & Information is at the core of everything the Government does, so we need a strong Data
Governance strategy to guide the creation, transformation, and sharing of data & information.
This Silver Fern symbolises Governance
According to Maori legend, the Silver Fern or Ponga once lived in the sea. It was asked to come and live
in the forest to guide the Maori people. Maori warriors used the silver underside of the leaves to find
their way back home. When bent over it catches the moonlight and illuminate a path through the
forest.
Governance is also a path that guides the usage of our government data and information.
Throughout my presentation you will hear me talk about Data & Information, not just Data. This is
because at an AoG level Data from one agency can be Information for another and visa versa. Data &
Information are very closely linked and therefor need to be aligned with each other.

2. The NZ Government aims to transform service delivery through digital self-service channels and to
unlock the full economic potential of Government Information.
It supports the focus area Information is Managed as an Asset.
As I already mentioned, Information is at the core of all Government services and the Government is
the guardian of that information on behalf of the public.
Exercising this responsibility, while making effective use of it, is the reason why it is very important that
we have a strong Data and Information Governance strategy.
The digital strategy seeks to:
- Create effective & efficient integrated services delivery models to be used by all agencies.
- Realise new value from Government Information.
- Optimise the use of scarce resources and capabilities.
- Manage the risks around the use of Government Information.
- Assure the quality of the Information.
- Partner with the private sector and NGSs.
- Increase the pace of change.

3. What is Data Governance?
Data Governance is a set of processes, around Data and Information:
- Ensuring that key Information is formally managed throughout the Government/Enterprise.
- Ensuring that the Information can be trusted and that people can be made accountable so that the
Information is fit for purpose and that the value of those assets are fully realised.
- Altering the way of thinking around Information, how to handle information so it can be used by the
entire organisation/Government/Country.
Some of the goals are:
- Increase consistency
- Maximise benefits
- Minimise rework
- Optimise efficiency
- Manage business risks
- Optimise investment
- Etc.

4. Here are a couple of examples of what can go wrong if you do not have a strong Data Governance in
your organisation.
BTW these scenarios do not refer to specific incidents, but are based loosely on anecdote collected over
the years from a number of organisations.
- Two business units provided a minister with significant different statistic results for the same KPI.
Reason: (1) Definition of the input information was not consistent.
(2) There were different assumptions in ‘correcting’ the input information.
Attempts to ‘fix’ these problems were fragmented and siloed and therefore the same discrepancy re-
occurred.
- A technology flaw caused a serious privacy breach.
Reason: There was no clear and effective business accountability and therefore no control of
the use of the data and information
- A business case was multiple times approved because of insufficient baseline operational data.
- A major debt recovery campaign was instituted based on wrong estimates. The true value was only
50% of the estimate and the campaign was poorly targeted.

5. One of the processes we use to get High Quality Data –data that can be used for decision making- is a
four level filtering.
Level 1 is around the Data Definitions and the Master Data Management which includes validating and
structuring the Data and Information.
Level 2 is a Data and Information Quality Framework which looks at what needs to be planned,
documented, executed, and controlled at strategic, governance, business, technology and standards
level. This includes rules, de-duplication, cleansing, monitoring, etc.
Level 3 is about which Information to use for reporting, creating statistics and analysis.
In the last level we look at which information is usable for decision making.

6. Having access to reliable HQD is a pre-requisite for delivering meaningful information to and from
agencies.
To obtain benefits out of our Data and Information we need a good collaboration between Business and
Technology. That is why the NZ Government established the partnership framework between agencies,
where tier 1 & 2 from different agencies look at the overall strategy of Government and Tier 2-3 look at
the investment, technology, service innovation and information between agencies.
This ensures that processes, people, technology and information are aligned across Government and
their business partners.

7. The Data Governance structure within the NZ Government is as follows.
We have an AoG Steering group which has the authorisation and mandate to make changes around
information.
Next to this there are several forums:
- Data Definition forum, which makes sure we have a common definition for the data and information
assets across Government and their business partners
- Data Quality forum, which looks at the quality of Data and Information and sets the rules around
sharing, copying, modifying, etc.
- Information and Knowledge forum, which define what opportunities we can get out of our
Information
- and the Education and Communication forum to make sure those changes are well communicated
across Government.
Within agencies we have the:
- Enterprise Design Authority who provides sign-off authority
- Investment Board who provides investment priorities
- And EPNO who ensures the Data Governance within projects.

8. Why do we need a Data and Information Governance?
- First we need to understand our data processes to successful manage our data.
- Once we understand our Data we know who can manage and control it.
- If Data is managed we can develop a common understanding to simplify and Data and Information.
- To have HQI we need to keep Data and Information complete, accurate, and current.
- HQI gives us the confidence to use it for making decisions.
And these are the 5 principles we follow and asses.
8
9. The first principle is having a common Data and Information language. Agencies are using common
definition and models by using our GEA-NZ Reference Models and Taxonomies.
The second principle is about documenting and cataloguing the Information assets. The use our
Information discovery process to identify the Information Assets, us the Taxonomies to categorise the
assets and are using the asset templates to catalogue them with meta-data.
The next (#3) principle is about the roles and responsibilities, create polices, and define standards
which are described in the Data and Information Quality Management Framework.
This (#4) principle is around assuring the quality if the Data and Information, this is also guided by the
Data and Information Quality Management Framework.
The last (#5) principle is about the use of the Data and Information – the reporting processes and
record management.

10. The Maturity Model we created has 16 questions surrounding those principles.
It is a self assessment tool which agencies use to periodically assess their Data governance processes.0
It gives them a view of the improvements they made, the focus areas, and the recommended next
steps.
