opportunity to have a “seat at the table”
• Finding new opportunities to leverage data for business benefit
• Creating efficiencies & business process optimization
• Integrating data from disparate sources for new business insights
• Supporting organizational change
11
Global Data Strategy, Ltd. 2019
Look for Business Value “Levers”
• Identify areas that will derive the highest business value by
addressing.
• Is this supporting the new marketing campaign for a high visibility
product launch?
• Or are you “re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic” – i.e.
focusing valuable time and effort no low-value activities
• As with any areas of the business that have value, it is helpful to
build a model or architectural design around the key areas of
business value.

Identify areas where data can be the fulcrum.

Mapping Business Drivers to Data Objectives
13
Challenges
Aligning Business & IT
• Policies not actionable at technology level
• Clarity needed around core business definitions
• Better taxonomies & classifications needed
Information Silos

• Database structures not easily accessible
• Documentation often project-focused & not
widely shared.
Limited Information Context
• Lack sufficient context to manage & consume
data effectively
• Lack of data lineage to view key relationships
• Time spent searching for data & definitions, not
new business uses for data.
• No single ‘roadmap’ of information assets
Process Inefficiencies
• Policy interpretations are done as snapshots
• Duplication of effort across reporting teams (e.g.
different queries for same use case)
Single View of Customer
• Single View of Customer across systems
• Map data elements to Customer Journey
• Automate PII classification for Privacy & Security
• “How Can Data Better Support Our Customers?

Global Data Strategy, Ltd. 2019
Speak with a Wide Variety of Stakeholders
15
• It’s important to speak with a wide
range of roles across the organization.
• Business & IT
• Cross-functional teams (Marketing,
Finance, Analytics, etc, etc.)
• Understand key opportunities &
challenges.
• Recruit allies & volunteers (and identify
those you still need to convince. ☺ )

Mapping Organizational Capability
• Organizational Capability, Organizational Structure, and Roles are key to any Data Strategy

5 Basic Models of Data Governance & Stewardship
Model Description
Process Centric
Process owner(s) become(s) the data owner for all data created, amended & deleted by the business
process for which he / she is responsible (e.g. Claims process, Billing process, etc.)
Systems Centric
System owner(s) become(s) the data owner for all data created, amended & deleted by the IT system
for which he / she is responsible (e.g. CRM, Billing System, etc.)
Data Domain
Centric
Business appointed full or part-time roles accountable for improvement of key data domains, created,
stored or used across an organization (e.g. Patient, Student, Product, Customer, etc.)
Organization
Centric
Business appointed FT or PT roles accountable for improvement of key data domains on the basis of
departmental boundaries (e.g. Finance, Marketing, Clinical, etc.) or geographical locations.
Blended
In large and complex organizations, an overall Data Governance program may consist of combinations
of some or all of the above models
19
• There are diverse ways to implement data stewardship, unique to each organization.

Level 3: Leveraging Data for Strategic Advantage
Global Data Strategy, Ltd. 2019
Visualizing Current vs. Target Maturity
• It’s important to take a realistic look at your organization’s current state maturity
• Where you are
• Where you want to be
21

Data Architecture
Global Data Strategy, Ltd. 2019
Find a Balance in Implementing Data Architecture
• Find the Right Balance
• Data Architecture projects can have the reputation for being overly “academic”, long, expensive, etc.
• No architecture at all can cause chaos.
• When done correctly, Data Architecture helps improve efficiency and better align with business priorities
22
Focus on Business Value

Too Academic, nothing
gets done
Too “Wild West”, nothing

Master Data Management & Data Integration
• Master Data Management (MDM) is the practice of identifying, cleansing, storing & governance core data
assets of the organization (e.g. customer, product, etc.)
• There are many architectural approaches to MDM, and data integration overall. Two are the following:
24
Centralized -- Commonly Relational Virtualized/Registry – Commonly Graph
MDM
Virtualization Layer
• Core data stored in
a common schema
in a centralized
“hub”.
• Used as a common
reference for
operational systems,
DW, etc.
• Data remains in
source systems.
• Referenced through
a common
virtualization layer.
BOTH require the same core foundation of data quality, parsing & matching, semantic meaning,
data governance, etc. in order to be successful… and that’s usually the hardest part.

Term: Part Number

Definition:
A part number is an 8 digit alphanumeric field that uniquely
identifies a machine part used in the manufacturing process.
Is this truly the same as the old Component
Number? That was a 10 digit numeric field. It
didn’t have letters.
Yes, it is. I had the same problem for the
finance app, and I wrote a quick program to
convert the numbers. We just strip off the first
two chars now. Click here to find it.

Crowdsourcing Governance & Metadata Definitions
• Many data governance projects (& vendors) are embracing the concept of “crowdsourcing”. i.e. The
Wikipedia vs. Encyclopedia approach
• Open editing
• Popularity & Usage Rankings
• Dynamically changing

• Created by a few, then published as read-only
• Single source of “vetted” truth
