Tell us a little about your professional career
I have been working in the field of data governance as long as anybody in the industry and in the field of metadata management longer than many. I have transitioned from the corporate world, to the world of large consulting companies, to the finding of my independent business, KIK Consulting & Educational Services, in 2002.
My company focuses on data management solutions, education and training including the implementation of formal data governance programs, data stewardship, data strategies, and metadata catalogs. KIK has had the honor of assisting many notable organizations across many industries including finance, insurance, manufacturing, education, health sciences and government.
I published the book, Non-Invasive Data Governance: The Path of Least Resistance and Greatest Success, in 2014 and I am a regular educator through webinars and conferences world-wide.
I am also the publisher of an internationally recognized e-publication, The Data Administration Newsletter (TDAN.com), a twice monthly newsletter that includes articles, columns, features and blogs focused on the most important data-focused topics of the day. TDAN.com is celebrating its twenty-fifth year in 2021 and attracts over 50,000 visitors monthly.
What are you finding to be the biggest challenges organizations are facing?
These are difficult days for a lot of organizations. The global economy has been downshifted and many companies are struggling to keep their heads above water. The most pressing challenges, for many organizations, are the allocation of resources and finding it in their budget to invest in digital transformation, becoming data-centric and data literate. Most organizations know how important data and information is to their business but are stressed over how to improve their situation during these difficult times.
Do you think that most company’s cultures are acceptable to managing data in a different way?
Changing the culture of an organization is not an easy thing to do. That is one reason I feel as strongly as I do about the non-invasive approach to data governance. My approach focuses on getting people to be held accountable for what they do with data without handing them work that interferes with their day jobs.
Most cultures are acceptable to change; but often people need to be convinced that the changes will be good for them. Successful data governance and data management often require improved communications that includes appropriate messaging regarding the value that comes from becoming more data centric.
What are the most important challenges for CIO, CDO, CDO, CTO in 2021?
The biggest challenge for the C-suite is getting their arms around the enormity of their data landscape. The C-suite must recognize the value that will come from becoming more data literate and digitally efficient, and plan an effective strategy of the appropriate steps, in the appropriate order, to improve the situation now and for the future.
The discussion during your round table can go many directions. What do you expect from the members present in your panel?
I am looking forward to discussion with people who are changing their organization’s data culture to become formally governed and more data centric. I am hoping to share my successes and hear from the members of the panel where they are having success and where they are struggling. The community often shares great ideas that lead to successful outcomes and that is what I am looking forward to from this group.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Check out my book, Non-Invasive Data Governance: The Path of Least Resistance and Greatest Success, available through your favorite book sellers. NIDG is the industry’s most effective and least threatening approach to the formal discipline of governing data.
