Data in Crisis
Presented by: Ronald G. Ross
It’s a safe bet that data quality in your organization is in much worse shape than managers realize. Does it matter? Absolutely. Under digital, customers see your data more and more frequently. Emerging technologies such as AI depend directly on it. Meanwhile, repair costs spiral out of control.
Put simply, poor data quality is business work done poorly. To truly fix data quality problems requires a business view, a shift in focus from data design or cleansing to what occurs in the business itself. Our sights should be aimed at properly shaping the business activity that results in the data.
There’s much more to data quality problems than even data professionals know. Fixing the problems is your responsibility. Learn how!
Learning Objectives:
- Attain a new perspective on data better suited to business analysis
- Improve the precision of business communication across the board
- Understand the four dimensions of concept clarity
- Apply concept models and business rules to solve data quality problems once and for all
