2014 DQ Asia Pacific Congress

I will be chairing the Data Quality Asia Pacific Congress 2014, to be hosted by Ark Group and held at the Rydges Swanston, Melbourne from 25th to 27th March.

As well as a packed schedule of workshops, expert viewpoints and case studies, DQ AsiaPacific will also feature the gala presentation of the fourth annual DQ APAC awards, hosted in partnership with IAIDQ.

The exciting lineup of speakers and panelists at DQ AsiaPacific includes:

• David Dufty, Australian Bureau of Statistics

As well as chairing the event, I will also be hosting an interactive masterclass: "Managing for Effective Data Governance." In this half-day workshop, I will explore the human aspects of Data Governance and examine what it takes to be successful in implementing effective information-enabled business transformation. Areas covered will include:

• Do we need to rethink our Data Governance strategies?
• Is enterprise-wide Data Management & Governance really achievable?
• What techniques and capabilities do we need to focus on?
• What skills and personal attributes does a Data Governance Manager need?
