The document discusses principles and best practices for data quality. It outlines key facets of data quality including accuracy, coherence, completeness, consistency, being defined and timely. It provides examples of how to measure these facets through metrics like percentage of records quarantined or missing fields. The document advocates establishing data governance practices like publishing schemas, adhering to definitions, and integrating data quality checks and monitoring into normal workflows. It promotes a culture where data quality is a shared responsibility across teams.
Product-thinking is making a big impact in the data world with the rise of Data Products, Data Product Managers, data mesh, and treating “Data as a Product.” But Honest, No-BS: What is a Data Product? And what key questions should we ask ourselves while developing them? Tim Gasper (VP of Product, data.world), will walk through the Data Product ABCs as a way to make treating data as a product way simpler: Accountability, Boundaries, Contracts and Expectations, Downstream Consumers, and Explicit Knowledge.
Data Governance Best Practices, Assessments, and RoadmapsDATAVERSITY
When starting or evaluating the present state of your Data Governance program, it is important to focus on best practices such that you don’t take a ready, fire, aim approach. Best practices need to be practical and doable to be selected for your organization, and the program must be at risk if the best practice is not achieved.
Join Bob Seiner for an important webinar focused on industry best practice around standing up formal Data Governance. Learn how to assess your organization against the practices and deliver an effective roadmap based on the results of conducting the assessment.
In this webinar, Bob will focus on:
- Criteria to select the appropriate best practices for your organization
- How to define the best practices for ultimate impact
- Assessing against selected best practices
- Focusing the recommendations on program success
- Delivering a roadmap for your Data Governance program

Enterprise Architecture vs. Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides a visual blueprint of the organization, and shows key interrelationships between data, process, applications, and more. By abstracting these assets in a graphical view, it’s possible to see key interrelationships, particularly as they relate to data and its business impact across the organization. Join us for a discussion on how Data Architecture is a key component of an overall Enterprise Architecture for enhanced business value and success.
Data Modeling, Data Governance, & Data QualityDATAVERSITY
Data Governance is often referred to as the people, processes, and policies around data and information, and these aspects are critical to the success of any data governance implementation. But just as critical is the technical infrastructure that supports the diverse data environments that run the business. Data models can be the critical link between business definitions and rules and the technical data systems that support them. Without the valuable metadata these models provide, data governance often lacks the “teeth” to be applied in operational and reporting systems.
Join Donna Burbank and her guest, Nigel Turner, as they discuss how data models & metadata-driven data governance can be applied in your organization in order to achieve improved data quality.

Join us for a discussion on how Data Architecture is a key component of an overall enterprise architecture for enhanced business value and success.
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
Tackling Data Quality problems requires more than a series of tactical, one-off improvement projects. By their nature, many Data Quality problems extend across and often beyond an organization. Addressing these issues requires a holistic architectural approach combining people, process, and technology. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide practical ways to control Data Quality issues in your organization.

Data Catalogs Are the Answer – What is the Question?DATAVERSITY
Organizations with governed metadata made available through their data catalog can answer questions their people have about the organization’s data. These organizations get more value from their data, protect their data better, gain improved ROI from data-centric projects and programs, and have more confidence in their most strategic data.
Join Bob Seiner for this lively webinar where he will talk about the value of a data catalog and how to build the use of the catalog into your stewards’ daily routines. Bob will share how the tool must be positioned for success and viewed as a must-have resource that is a steppingstone and catalyst to governed data across the organization.
Metadata is hotter than ever, according to a number of recent DATAVERSITY surveys. More and more organizations are realizing that in order to drive business value from data, robust metadata is needed to gain the necessary context and lineage around key data assets. At the same time, industry regulations are driving the need for better transparency and understanding of information.
While metadata has been managed for decades, new strategies & approaches have been developed to support the ever-evolving data landscape, and provide more innovative ways to drive business value from metadata. This webinar will provide an overview of metadata strategies & technologies available to today’s organization, and provide insights into building successful business strategies for metadata adoption & use.
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of high quality. Determining how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing Data Quality management effectively in support of business strategy. This, in turn, allows for speedy identification of business problems, the delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues. Organizations must realize what it means to utilize Data Quality engineering in support of business strategy. This webinar will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges often can trace the root of the problem to poor Data Quality. Showing how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This, in turn, allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from re-occurring.

Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on data to inform strategic decisions. This growing dependence makes ensuring data across the organization is fit for purpose more critical than ever. Decision-making challenges associated with pandemic-driven urgency, variety of data, and lack of resources have further highlighted the critical importance of healthcare data quality and prompted more focus and investment. However, many data quality initiatives are too narrow in focus and reactive in nature or take longer than expected to demonstrate value. This leaves organizations unprepared for future events, like COVID-19, that require a rapid enterprise-wide analytic response.
What are some actionable ways you can help your organization guard against the data quality challenges uncovered this past year and better prepare to respond in the future? Join Taylor Larsen, Director of Data Quality for Health Catalyst, to learn more.
What You’ll Learn
- How data profiling and data quality assessments, in combination with your data catalog, can increase data quality transparency, expedite root cause analysis, and close data quality monitoring gaps.
- How to leverage AI to reduce data quality monitoring configuration and maintenance time and improve accuracy.
- How defining data quality based on its measurable utility (i.e., data represents information that supports better decisions) can provide a scalable way to ensure data are fit for purpose and avoid cost outstripping return.

Your AI and ML Projects Are Failing – Key Steps to Get Them Back on TrackPrecisely
With recent studies indicating that 80% of AI and machine learning projects are failing due to data quality related issues, it’s critical to think holistically about this fact. This is not a simple topic – issues in data quality can occur throughout from starting the project through to model implementation and usage.
View this webinar on-demand, where we start with four foundational data steps to get our AI and ML projects grounded and underway, specifically:
• Framing the business problem
• Identifying the “right” data to collect and work with
• Establishing baselines of data quality through data profiling and business rules
• Assessing fitness for purpose for training and evaluating the subsequent models and algorithms
Foundational Strategies for Trust in Big Data Part 2: Understanding Your DataPrecisely
Teams working on new initiatives whether for customer engagement, advanced analytics, or regulatory and compliance requirements need a broad range of data sources for the highest quality and most trusted results. Yet the sheer volume of data delivered coupled with the range of data sources including those from external 3rd parties increasingly precludes trust, confidence, and even understanding of the data and how or whether it can be used to make effective data-driven business decisions.
The second part of our webcast series on Foundation Strategies for Trust in Big Data provides insight into how Trillium Discovery for Big Data with its natively distributed execution for data profiling supports a foundation of data quality by enabling business analysts to gain rapid insight into data delivered to the data lake without technical expertise.

Inspiring healthy habits: data science at WWCarl Anderson
Talk given at HealthRecSys workshop at RecSys, Copenhagen, 2019-09-20
Our purpose at WW (the new Weight Watchers) is to "inspire
healthy habits for real life. For people, families, communities, the
world - for everyone." For 56 years, we’ve been a leader in weight
loss. Now, however, our mission is bigger and broader: drive health and wellness, making healthy habits accessible to all, not just a few.
The question is, how do you deliver on that? Humans are notoriously fickle, stubborn, and irrational. They don’t always do what is in their best interests. Moreover, behavioral change and habit forming is genuinely hard. It is all too easy to skip going to the gym, to resist that extra cookie, or to take time for yourself and reduce stress.
In this session, we’ll discuss what’s involved in behavioral change
and nudges, and how the WW data science team are working on
personalized experiences, various recommenders, and other data
products at scale to aid our members’ success.

Creating a Data-Driven Organization, Data Day Texas, January 2016Carl Anderson
What does it mean for an organization to be data-driven? How does an organization get there? Many organizations think that they are data-driven but the reality is that few genuinely are and that we could all do better. In this talk, I cover what it truly means to be data driven. The answer, it turns out, is not to do with the latest tools and technologies (although they can help) but having an appropriate data culture than spans the whole organization, where data is accessible broadly, embedded into operations and processes, and enables effective decision making. In this presentation, I dissect what an effective data-driven culture entails, covering facets such as data leadership, data literacy, and A/B testing, illustrating concepts with examples from different industries as well as personal experience.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
