Hybrid Meeting (In-Person at Redmond, WA and Online)

Social / Networking: 5:30 - 6:00 pm with food and refreshments

Presentation: 6:00 - 7:00 pm

October meeting features - Larry Burns, Data and BI Architect, who will discuss Data Governance for Data Shamans

Abstract:

Data professionals need to stop seeing themselves as creators and custodians of data artifacts (ala the DAMA-DMBOK), and start seeing themselves as business professionals who know how to use Data to help their organizations succeed! Business value is created by improving business processes, not creating data products. Data needs to be in motion, not at rest. The DMBOK tells you how to grow a fruit tree; it doesn't tell you how to sell the fruit. We need to learn how to sell the fruit!.
