About the Presentation
This fast-paced presentation crystallizes what it takes to improve data quality.
The unfortunate reality is most data quality efforts fail. But those who approach the opportunity properly, put the right people in place, and use proven methods, can produce great results, relatively quickly and easily.
This presentation covers:
Approach: Why eliminating the root causes of error is the only way to go.
What You Need to Do: Including understanding customer needs, measurement, control, and improvement.
Who Does the Work: An important first step involves getting responsibility for data out of IT. And everyone who touches data has a role to play!
Why: Bad data have always cost time and money. Lots of both. Today, as organizations seek to leverage big data and become data-driven, the costs are even greater. But subtle.
Culture: Every manager can improve data quality within his or her span of influence. Leadership is decisive.
