Data-Ed Webinar: Data Governance Strategies
1. Data Governance Strategies
• Date: September 9, 2014
• Time: 2:00 PM ET
• Presented by: Peter Aiken, PhD
• 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.

15. Corporate Governance
• "Corporate governance - which
can be defined narrowly as the
relationship of a company to its
shareholders or, more broadly,
as its relationship to society….",
Financial Times, 1997.
• "Corporate governance is about
promoting corporate fairness,
transparency and
accountability" James Wolfensohn, World
Bank, President Financial Times, June 1999.
• “Corporate governance deals
with the ways in which suppliers
of finance to corporations
assure themselves of getting a
return on their investment”,
The Journal of Finance, Shleifer and Vishny, 1997.

16. Definition of IT Governance
IT Governance:
• "putting structure around how organizations align IT strategy with business strategy,
ensuring that companies stay on track to achieve their strategies and goals, and
implementing good ways to measure IT’s performance.
• It makes sure that all stakeholders’ interests
are taken into account and that processes
provide measurable results.
• An IT governance framework should
answer some key questions, such
as how the IT department is functioning
overall, what key metrics management
needs and what return IT is giving back
to the business from the investment it’s
making." CIO Magazine (May 2007)
IT Governance Institute, five areas of focus:
• Strategic Alignment
• Value Delivery
• Resource Management
• Risk Management
• Performance Measures

20. Supplemental: CMMI Data Strategy Elements
The data management strategy defines the overall framework of the
program. A data management strategy typically includes:
• A vision statement, which includes core operating principles; goals
and objectives; priorities, based on a synthesis of factors
important to the organization, such as business value, degree of
support for strategic initiatives, level of effort, and dependencies
• Program scope – including both key business areas (e.g.
Customer Accounts); data management priorities (e.g. Data
Quality); and key data sets (e.g. Customer Master Data)
• Business benefits
– The selected data management framework and how it will be used
– High-level roles and responsibilities
– Governance needs
– Description of the approach used to develop the data management program
– Compliance approach and measures
– High-level sequence plan (roadmap).

organization to leverage data as an enterprise asset. - The MDM Institute
• A convergence of data quality, data management, business process
management, and risk management surrounding the handling of data in an
organization – Wikipedia

processes, executed according to agreed-upon models which describe who can
take what actions with what information, and when, under what circumstances,
using what methods – Data Governance Institute
• The execution and enforcement of authority over the management of data
assets and the performance of data functions – KiK Consulting
• A quality control discipline for assessing, managing, using, improving,
monitoring, maintaining, and protecting organizational information – IBM Data
Governance Council

25. 5 Requirements for Effective DG
Data governance is a set of well-defined policies and practices
designed to ensure that data is:
1. Accessible
– Can the people who need it access the data they need?
– Does the data match the format the user requires?
2. Secure
– Are authorized people the only ones who can access the data?
– Are non-authorized users prevented from accessing it?
3. Consistent
– When two users seek the "same" piece of data, is it actually
the same data?
– Have multiple versions been rationalized?
4. High Quality
– Is the data accurate?
– Has it been conformed to meet agreed standards
5. Auditable
– Where did the data come from?
– Is the lineage clear?
– Does IT know who is using it and for what purpose?
• Integrity
• Accountability
• Transparency
• Strategic alignment
• Standardization
• Organizational change
management
• Data architecture
• Stewardship/Quality
• Protection

26. Organizational Data Governance Purpose Statement
• What does data
governance mean to my
organization?
– Getting some individuals
(whose opinions matter)
– To form a body (needs a
formal purpose/authority)
– Who will advocate/evangelize
for (not dictate, enforce, rule)
– Increasing scope and rigor of
– Data-centric development

29. What is the Difference Between DG and DM?
• Data Governance
– Policy level guidance
– Setting general guidelines
and direction
– Example: All information not
marked public should be
considered confidential
• Data Management
– The business function of
planning
for, controlling and delivering
data/information assets
– Example: Delivering data
to solve business challenges

43. Why is Data Governance Important?
Cost organizations millions each year in
• Productivity
• Redundant and siloed efforts
• Poorly thought out hardware
and software purchases
• Reactive instead of
proactive initiatives
• Delayed decision making
using inadequate information
• 20-40% of IT spending can
be reduced through better
data governance

• Seventy percent of
organizations have

45. Application-Centric Development
Strategy
Goals/
Objectives
Systems/
Applications
Network/
Infrastructure
Original articulation from Doug Bagley @ Walmart
• In support of strategy, organizations
develop specific goals/objectives
• The goals/objectives drive the development
of specific systems/applications
• Development of systems/applications leads
to network/infrastructure requirements
• Data/information are typically considered
after the systems/applications and network/
infrastructure have been articulated
• Problems with this approach:
– Ensures data is formed to the applications and
not around the organizational-wide information
requirements
– Process are narrowly formed around applications
– Very little data reuse is possible
Data/
Information
45
Copyright 2014 by Data Blueprint
45
46. What does it mean to treat data
as an organizational asset?
• An asset is a resource controlled
by the organization as a result of
past events or transactions and
from which future economic
benefits are expected to flow to
the organization [Wikipedia]
• Assets are economic resources
– Must own or control
– Must use to produce value
– Value can be converted into cash
• As assets:
– Formalize the care and feeding of
data
– Put data to work in unique and
significant ways

47
48. Data-Centric Development
Strategy
Goals/
Objectives
Data/
Information
Network/
Infrastructure
Original articulation from Doug Bagley @ Walmart
• In support of strategy, the organization
develops specific goals/objectives
• The goals/objectives drive the development
of specific data/information assets with an
eye to organization-wide usage
• Network/infrastructure components are
developed to support organization-wide use
of data
• Development of systems/applications is
derived from the data/network architecture
• Advantages of this approach:
– Data/information assets are developed from an
organization-wide perspective
– Systems support organizational data needs
and compliment organizational process flows
– Maximum data/information reuse

49. The special nature of DCD
• An architectural focus
• Practice extension
• Personality/organizational challenges
unrecognized
• Technical engineering requires different skills
• Extra attention required to communication
• Scarcity of
professionals
• Need for a
specialist
discipline

FOREWORD BY JOHN BOTTEGA
When our organizations transform to a data-centric approach, we
begin to measure success differently than we did before—same
project, same process, but with different measures that include:
• asking if our data is correct;
• valuing data more than valuing "on time and within budget;"
• valuing correct data more than correct process; and
• auditing data rather than project documents. - Linda Bevolo

requirements not finalized
• "Anyone who has written a line of
code or built a system from the
ground-up cannot be surprised or
even mildly concerned that
Healthcare.gov did not work out
of the gate,"
Standish Group International Chairman Jim
Johnson said in a recent podcast.
• "The real news would have been
if it actually did work. The very
fact that most of it did work at all
is a success in itself."
• "It was pretty obvious from the first look
that the system hadn't been designed to
work right," says Marty Abbott. "Any
single thing that slowed down would slow
everything down."
• Software programmed to
access data using
traditional technologies
• Data components incorporated
"big data technologies"

75. Senior Army Official
• A very heavy dose of
management support
• Any questions as to future
data ownership, "they should make an
appointment to speak directly with me!"
• Empower the team
– The conversation turned from "can this be
done?" to "how are we going to accomplish
this?"
– Mistakes along the way would be tolerated
– Implement a workable solution in prototype form

79. Business Implications
• National Stock Number (NSN)
Discrepancies
– If NSNs in LUAF, GABF, and RTLS are
not present in the MHIF, these records
cannot be updated in SASSY
– Additional overhead is created to correct
data before performing the real
maintenance of records
• Serial Number Duplication
– If multiple items are assigned the same
serial number in RTLS, the traceability of
those items is severely impacted
– Approximately $531 million of SAC 3
items have duplicated serial numbers
• On-Hand Quantity Discrepancies
– If the LUAF O/H QTY and number of items serialized in RTLS conflict, there can
be no clear answer as to how many items a unit actually has on-hand
– Approximately $5 billion of equipment does not tie out between the LUAF and
RTLS

81. Barclays Excel Spreadsheet Horror
• Barclays preparing to buy Lehman’s
Brothers assets.
• 179 dodgy Lehman’s contracts were
almost accidentally purchased by
Barclays because of an Excel
spreadsheet reformatting error
• A first-year associate reformatted an
Excel contracts spreadsheet
– Predictably, this work was done long
after normal business hours, just after
11:30 p.m...
• The Lehman/Barclays sale closed
on September 22nd
• the 179 contracts were marked as
“hidden” in Excel, and those entries
became “un-hidden” when when
globally reformatting the document.

82. Example of Poor Data Governance
Mizuho Securities
Example
• Wanted to sell 1 share for
600,000 yen
• Sold 600,000 shares for 1
yen
• $347 million loss
• In-house system did not
have limit checking
• Tokyo stock exchange
system did not have limit
checking
• And doesn't allow order
cancellations
CLUMSY typing cost a Japanese bank at
least £128 million and staff their
Christmas bonuses yesterday, after a
trader mistakenly sold 600,000 more
shares than he should have. The trader
at Mizuho Securities, who has not been
named, fell foul of what is known in
financial circles as “fat finger syndrome”
where a dealer types incorrect details
into his computer. He wanted to sell one
share in a new telecoms company called
J Com, for 600,000 yen (about £3,000).

90. Take Aways
• Need for DG is increasing
– Increase in data volume
– Lack of practice improvement
• DG is a new discipline
– Must conform to constraints
– No one best way
• DG must be driven by a data
strategy complimenting
organizational strategy
• Comparing DG frameworks
can be useful
• DG directs data management
efforts
• The language of DG is
metadata
• Process improvement can
improve DG practices

94. Supplemental: Data Governance Checklist
• Decision-Making Authority
– Assign appropriate levels of authority to data stewards
– Proactively define scope and limitations of that authority
• Standard Policies and Procedures
– Adopt and enforce clear policies and procedures in a written data
stewardship plan to ensure that everyone understands the importance of
data quality and security
– Helps to motivate and empower staff to implement DG
• Data Inventories
– Conduct inventory of all data that require protection
– Maintain up-to-date inventory of all sensitive records and data systems
– Classify data by sensitivity to identify focus areas for security efforts
• Data Content Management
– Closely manage data content to justify the collection of sensitive data,
optimize data management processes and ensure compliance with
federal, state, and local regulations

95. Supplemental: Data Governance Checklist, cont’d
• Data Records Management
– Specify appropriate managerial and user activities related to handling data to
provide data stewards and users with appropriate tools for complying with an
organization’s security policies
• Data Quality
– Ensure that data are accurate, relevant, timely, and complete for their intended
purposes
– Key to maintaining high quality data is a proactive approach to DG that requires
establishing and regularly updating strategies for preventing, detecting, and
correcting errors and misuses of data
• Data Access
– Define and assign differentiated levels of data access to individuals based on
their roles and responsibilities
– This is critical to prevent unauthorized access and minimize risk of data breaches
• Data Security and Risk Management
– Ensure the security of sensitive and personally identifiable data and mitigate the
risks of unauthorized disclosure of these data
– Top priority for effective data governance plan

96. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
1. Buy-in but not Committing:
Business vs. IT
– Business needs to do more
– Data governance tasks need
to recognized as priority
– Without a real business-resource commitment, data governance
takes a backseat and will never be implemented effectively
2. Ready, Fire, Aim
– Good: Create governance steering committee
(business representatives from across enterprise)
and separate governance working group (data stewards)
– Problem: Often get the timing wrong: Panels are formed and people
are assigned BEFORE they really understand the scope of the data
governance and participants’ roles and responsibilities
– Prematurely organize management framework and realize you
need a do-over = Guaranteed way to stall DG initiative

97. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
3. Trying to Solve World Hunger or Boil the Ocean
• Trap 1: Trying to solve all organizational data
problems in initial project phase
• Trap 2: Starting with biggest data problems (highly political issues)
• Almost impossible to establish a DG program while tacking data problems
that have taken years to build up
• Instead: “Think globally and act locally”: break data problems down into
incremental deliverables
• “Too big too fast” = Recipe for disaster
4. The Goldilocks Syndrome
• Encountering things that are either one
extreme or another
• Either the program is too high-level and
substantive issues are never dealt with or it
attempts to create definitions and rules for every field and table
• Need to find happy compromise that enables DG initiatives to create real
business value

98. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
5. Committee Overload
• Good: People of various business units and
departments get involved in the governance process
• Bad: more people -> more politics -> more watered down
governance responsibilities
• To be successful, limit committee sizes to 6-12 people and ensure
that members have decision-making authority
!
6. Failure to Implement
• DG efforts won’t produce any business value if
data definitions, business rules and KPIs are
created but not used in any processes
• Governance process needs to be a complete feedback loop in which
data is defined, monitored, acted upon, and changed when
appropriate
• Also important: Establish ongoing communication about governance
to prevent business users going back to old habits

99. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
7.Not Dealing with Change Management
• Business and IT processes need to be
changed for enterprise DG to be successful
• Need for change management is seldom addressed
• Challenges: people/process issues and internal politics
8.Assuming that Technology Alone is the Answer
• Purchasing MDM, data integration or data quality
software to support DG programs is not the solution
• Combination of vendor hype and high
price tags set high expectations
• Internal interactions are what make
or break data governance efforts

100. Supplemental: 10 DG Worst Practices in Detail
9.Not Building Sustainable and Ongoing
Processes
• Initial investment in time, money
and people may be accurate
• Many organizations don’t establish a budget, resource
commitments or design DG processes with an eye toward
sustaining the governance effort for the long term
10.Ignoring “Data Shadow Systems”
• Common mistake: focus on “systems
of record” and BI systems, assuming
that all important data can be found there
• Often, key information is located in “data shadow systems”
scattered through organization
• Don’t ignore such additional deposits of information
