Level: Intermediate

The elements of an effective data strategy continue to evolve and change. While the analytical and warehouse architecture continue to be important, increasingly it's the elements of the strategy concerned with governance, risk management and financial exposure that are attracting the most attention from senior management. During this tutorial attendees will learn how to create a sustainable data strategy with an emphasis on business alignment and value, risk mitigation, and cost-effective deployment. We will address structured and unstructured content and review case studies to provide insight. This class will also cover the underlying frameworks (meta data, business intelligence, etc.) but is not a class in selecting tools or technology.

•  Data Strategy vision and alignment
•  Designing the architecture
•  Defining the most effective delivery framework
•  Developing a sustainable road map for implementation
