What's New in Data Governance
Published: January 1, 2012 Davida Berger shares up to the minute happenings in the world of Data Governance.
Six years ago when the first Data Governance Conference was held there was much discussion about what data governance is and why governance is a necessity for every organization.
Over the past few years many organizations have implemented or are beginning implementations of data governance programs. The focus has changed from defining data governance to learning how to ensure success of your program and provide measurable value to the business. One of the factors in ensuring success is learning from other practitioners that have successful data governance organizations and sharing experiences and lessons learned. 2012 offers many opportunities to learn and share experiences in data governance: +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Presentations Deadline January 27, 2012 The Annual Data Governance and Information Quality Conference (DGIQ) The How-To Conference on Data Governance and Information Quality http://www.dg-conference.com June 25-28, 2012 San Diego, CA In developing the program for the 2012 Data Governance and Information Quality Conference our objective is to provide as many real life experiences from practitioners from diverse industries that have implemented data governance and information quality programs.

Len Silverston will share a 5 step process that he has used to successfully to navigate the above and other 'inevitable' data governance conflict management scenarios. After sharing this framework, as well as data governance stories where this framework was applied, participants will be asked if they could share difficult conflicts they have encountered, and we will explore how this framework can help address the scenarios provided.
