The “usual” questions! The answers are metadata. The key

issue is to organize and keep track of the questions and answers. Not surprisingly, to me the heart of a

solution is an enterprise metadata repository …


Well Yes, But …

Governance is a business driven process impacting technical

choices

Most metadata is not presented is business friendly

fashion

How to bridge the gap between business- and technology-

focused specialists?

There’s No Silver Bullet, But…

• Attach governance activities to business processes so that governance is a by-product

Governance is a business driven

process impacting technical choices …

• Eliminate the user interface, and make metadata supplemental business information

Most metadata is not presented is business

friendly fashion…

• By building a business glossary and linking it to the metadata repository

Bridge the gap between business- and

technology-focused specialists …

• What is meant by Non-Invasive Data Governance™?:

With Data Governance in General:

– Many organizations view Data Governance as being over-and-above normal work efforts and threatening to the existing work culture of the organization.

It does not have to be that way.

– Many organizations have a difficult time getting people to adopt Data Governance best practices because of a common belief that Data Governance is about command-and-control.


– While I firmly state that Data Governance is “the execution and enforcement of authority over the management of data”, nowhere in that definition does it say that Data Governance has to be invasive or threatening to the work, people and culture of the organization.


Real-World Data Governance Tools of Data Governance – Definitions


6 Twitter at #RWDG


With Non-Invasive Data Governance™:

– Data steward responsibilities are identified and recognized, formalized and engaged according to their existing responsibility rather than being assigned or handed to people as more work.

– The governance of data is applied to existing policies, standard operating procedures, practices, and methodologies … rather than being introduced or emphasized as new processes or methods.

– The governance of data augments and supports all data integration, risk management, business intelligence and master data management activities rather than imposing inconsistent rigor to these initiatives.

Non-Invasive Data Governance™?

With Non-Invasive Data Governance™:

– Specific attention is paid to assuring senior management’s understanding of a practical and non-threatening yet effective approach to governing data that will be taken to mediate ownership and promote stewarding of data as a cross-organization asset, rather than the traditional method of “you will do this”.

– Best practices and key concepts of the non-threatening approach are communicated effectively, compared to existing practices to identify and leverage strengths and enable the ability to address opportunities to improve.

• Questions to Ask Ourselves: – Is the Purchase of a Data Governance Tool “Invasive”? – What Expectations Come w/the Purchase of a Data Governance Tool? – Is it Data That is Governed or People’s Behavior That is Governed? – Can a Tool (or Use of a Tool) Govern Behavior?
