Keynote & Luncheon // Think Like an Entrepreneur: Driving Business Innovation via Data Governance
The data-driven organization is a hot topic in today’s business journals, as more and more organizations look to use data for strategic business advantage. Start-up entrepreneurs and blue-chip companies alike are looking for innovative ways to use data to drive business success.
But is the data governance community keeping pace with this innovation and excitement? Or have we focused too much on the “stick” rather than the “carrot” when it comes to data governance?
In this keynote, Donna Burbank will discuss how to “think like an entrepreneur” with topics such as:
- How data governance and data quality can drive business innovation and ROI
- Treating data as a first order product as part of the new data-driven organization
- Using methods from other industries to drive growth while at the same time focusing on quality and accountability
- Launching your data governance program like a start-up
