6 What mindset changes will be required? People will need to adopt three distinct new ways of thinking: Philosophies (principles, strategies, beliefs) Methods (tools, processes, standards) Behaviors (roles, choices, actions) WHY HOW WHAT Strategic Tactical Operational Achieving new Behaviors is the objective but it never comes first. Either HOW or WHY can drive new Behaviors. Copyright 2012 Noah Consulting LLC. All Rights Reserved. Page 6

7 Alternative approaches: HOW vs. WHY Driven by HOW HOW WHAT WHY (Solution push) Driven by WHY WHY WHAT HOW (Business pull) Copyright 2012 Noah Consulting LLC. All Rights Reserved. Page 7

8 Balance the WHY and HOW WHY HOW Align Behaviors with valid business Philosophies Define specific actions that people must do differently: The People Objectives WHY HOW WHAT Philosophies Methods Behaviors Align Behaviors with viable and proven Methods Explore what s feasible with a pilot or Proof of Concept for realistic expectations Behaviors defined by Realistic WHYs enabled by Feasible HOWs Copyright 2012 Noah Consulting LLC.

10 Define specific Behaviors - driven by WHY/HOW Philosophies and Methods are only observable as Behaviors. Behaviors are the only viable measure for People Objectives. Define specific actions with measurable outcomes. Typical themes include: Using the new solutions / Following the new standards Participating in Governance and Quality Sharing data and expertise (transparency) WHY Cleaning up after using data HOW Trusting the data (not revalidating/recreating) WHAT Philosophies Methods Behaviors Copyright 2012 Noah Consulting LLC.

11 Define a DM Framework for key decisions Fundamental Organizational Capabilities: Governance, Data Management, Data Quality Management Collective Decisions (via Governance): People! Data Scope (what to manage) Organizational Roles (ownership, stewardship) Standards (naming, attributes, quality measures) Methods (Tools and Processes) Fit (within existing environment) Copyright 2012 Noah Consulting LLC.

12 People Objectives Drive Competencies Collective Agreement -- through consensus Decisions in the What/How/Why of DM Collective Trust -- through Participation and Transparency Everyone either participates in standards/execution/quality, and/or They can fully see how it is being done, and by whom.

15 Leadership engagement Participate actively and visibly to model new philosophies and behaviors. Build coalitions and communicate directly with those affected by changes.

16 New roles introduced by Data Governance People should understand how all roles work together and how to shift between roles: Business Council member Represent data interests of constituents Steward Act on data quality reports, coach/support users, care for data Owners Accountable for DM / Stewardship done on their behalf Producer / Consumer Learn to use and share data responsibly Stewardship = taking care of important resources to ensure they achieve their potential value Data Stewardship is probably the most important DM role!
