9:00 AM Exploring How to Develop a Centralized Data Governance Framework to Uplift Business Efficiency and Utilise Data More Effectively

Large-scale organizations grapple with data inflows from multiple sources that have divergent processes, standards and purposes, which consequently entail different modes of data governance capabilities. Michael Jennings will facilitate a workshop on how to develop a framework that enhances their business efficiencies. 

  • Develop an understanding of how a centralised data governance framework can uplift data quality and integrity, and improve cost and workforce efficiency
  • How to Develop a robust Enterprise Data Model that maintains data integrity and consistency across the various sources of data assets
  • Promoting data lineage, and consequently ensuring data quality and integrity, through appointing responsibilities to the right people
  • Leveraging Master Data Management as an enterprise-wide architecture that enables accessibility to data assets from multiple reference points

Conference Day One: Wednesday, 26th February 2020

9:40 AM International Keynote Presentation: Walgreens Boots Alliance – Think Globally, Act Locally: Understanding the Benefits and Challenges of Global Master Data Management

With over 14,000 stores spread across 25 countries, Walgreens Boots Alliance has recognized the need to develop a Master Data Management Program, as part of an overall Data Strategy initiative, to consistently manage the quality, data interoperability, accessibility, and availability of core data (e.g., customer, product, etc.). For global organizations like Walgreens Boots Alliance, these challenges are magnified by the need to master data domains across divisions and countries.

  • Establishing business goals for a MDM program and designing architectural blueprints for data integration, MDM and data modelling.
  • Determining which key business data can be mastered and incorporated in a global MDM program.
  • Addressing the differing cultural and political realities in order to create a successful and valuable global MDM program. 
  • Identifying industry standards, regulatory data needs and other global attributes to establish a global data domain.
