As promised in my last post, I attach to this blog post my speaker’s notes for today’s session ‘Advancing data governance to create improved data quality frameworks’. This presentation was given at Ark Group Australasia’s Data Quality Conference, held on 30th April 2008 at Crystal Palaces, Luna Park in Sydney. I undertook the presentation as a Director of Applied Insight Pty Ltd, my business systems consulting company.
The brochure for this conference can be found here.
My speaker’s notes are available below:
For completeness, here are my slides as provided to conference participants (in PDF form):
As always, feedback from members of the audience, via comments or an email, is very welcome. I hope it was an interesting approach at some level.
I did at one stage think of going all Gordon Ramsey (he of ‘Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares’) on the audience – I’m a brand new fan, it’s just like consulting but with more swearing and nan bread! – but decided against it. Perhaps next time, that’s what I’ll do – I’ll try good-consultant, bad-consultant. Probably at least as good as my idea of having a 40-minute presentation with a single slide with four circles on it. Maybe one day I’ll be able to combine the two approaches.
By the way, I loved the venue – at least it will stand out in my memory, that’s for sure. Here’s a photo I took outside:
I am fairly certain it is the only data quality conference ever held in a theme park.
Ha. “it’s just like consulting but with more swearing and nan bread!” Love it.
Seriously, thanks for sharing both your notes and the slides. It’s all going to be very timely input into discussions about our data governance for our practice management system.
