About This Event

With data being at the forefront of ALL business, the need for organisations to produce a wide-ranging Data Strategy is greater than ever, with both the increase in data regulations and the focus on data driven business outcomes.

Yet, creating an enterprise wide data strategy and the governance to support it can be a formidable task.  Often, it is difficult to know where to begin, and how best to prioritise efforts due to the large number of stakeholders and many competing initiatives. Data is at the heart of all organizations, almost like blood flowing through its arteries and veins.  However, all too often Information is not professionally managed with the rigour and discipline that it demands.  Nonetheless the implications of poorly managed information can be catastrophic, from legal and other regulatory sanctions ultimately to business collapse.  Professor Joe Peppard (European School of Management, Cranfield) summed it up when he said: “The very existence of an organisation can be threatened by poor data”.  This 2-day course will provide concrete practical approaches to get you started on your Data Strategy, the typical contents of a Data Strategy, and the ways in which your supporting Data Governance framework can be organised.
