8:45 Understanding The Role Of Quality Data In A Financial Institution: A View From The Board
Robert Barnes, Managing Director Equities UBS & CEO, UBS MTF
Your C-level executives understand the value and importance of data. Your boss is fully behind your plans to improve and change your reference data strategy. But what does this actually mean in practice? How do the different parts of your organization use and depend on reference data? You may know what your direct internal customers need, but do you know how data gets around your organization, and who uses it to make decisions? Join this presentation to hear from Robert Barnes, who is responsible for the UBS’s equities business as well as for its MTF. Robert’s experience as trader, business development executive, and his having been Chairman 2004-2009 of the Securities Trading Committee of the London Investment Banking Association /AFME and FSA's Capital Markets Senior Practitioner Committee, gives him a unique perspective on data and its strategic value. Find out how Robert sees the development of the role of data in a bank in an exchange, and in a buy side institution. Take new ideas back to your office to implement changes and move your data strategy to the next level.

9:30 Taking The Industry Towards Common Standards: Current Developments & The Impact Of Legal Entity Identifiers On Your Strategy
Aurel Schubert, Director General Statistics, European Central Bank
What will be the format of the legal entity identifier (LEI)? How will the European Central Bank and the OFR normalize rules and practices? Who will be the custodian of the LEI? What will be the impact of a common identifier? Will a utility be provided to allow you to pull out reference data? What is the impact of having data reside within a utility your firm cannot control? Should the burden of correct counterparty data be placed on the counterparty itself? The ECB has been at the forefront of introducing the concept of an international Reference Data Utility that could deliver high-quality, standardised reference data for regulators, policy-makers, the public and the industry. Find out the strategy behind the business model and organisational premises that could allow the task to be performed by a very small international operational entity. The goal is to organise the competitive processes of the data industry to ensure that reference data on a given item will be produced and maintained once only, thus eliminating the current cacophony of redundant, often contradictory data coming in through multiple “data dialects”. Join this keynote address to learn the details and have your questions answered. All you can do now is prepare the foundation for the new LEI in your business. The point is to get it right, so that it doesn’t end up costing you millions, when standards are introduced. Learn about:
  • Proposed LEI formats
  • Strategy for rules and LEI practices
  • LEI custody and governance
  • Managing LEI and working with the custodian
  • Managing counterparty data
  • Impact on your business and how you can prepare now

11:00 Sustaining The Quality Of Your Data
Erol Mustafa, Partner, Ernst & Young
The vast majority of organisations have launched significant data quality programmes, either as standalone projects or as part of broader transformation programmes within their organisations. Whilst many of these programmes have been launched with ambitious business cases and significant investment levels, many have experienced challenges in the transition to sustainable outcomes. The longer term objective for organisations is to move the effective management of data into a business as usual activity, with relevant infrastructure, organisation, accountability and change management disciplines. This presentation will set out the strategic components and tactical roadmap for organisations to move successfully towards transforming their data management capabilities and to delivering 'data quality as a service'.

11:30 The Current & Future Role Of Legal Entity Identifiers: Modelling Data For Credit Risk Transparency & Management
Mike Atkin, Managing Director, EDM Council
Julia Sutton, Director, Head of Customer Data, Deutsche Bank
John Bottega, Vice President, Chief Data Officer, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Sven Bossu, LEI Implementation Lead, SWIFT
Fred Cohen, Group Vice President (Capital Markets & Investment Banking), iGate Patni
Sven Bossu, LEI Implementation Lead, SWIFT
Business processes and ICT systems are not good at handling “data dialects”, so their growth has seen the emergence of costly “data cleansing” activities, conducted both by users and by specialised companies. THe collision between “data dialects” hampers automation and drives cost up. Low data quality at source impacts the whole downstream value chain, creating excess costs and quality losses all along, hampering internal transparency of organisations and increasing their operational risk. The market itself will not be able to deliver the such needed LEI, so how will the industry cope? Join this panel discussion, give your views and concerns, debate and hear the proposed solutions.
  • Overview of current progress on LEI globally
  • Assessing the key challenges on route to achieving a fully standardized reference data world
  • Building standards across nations and across financial insitutions
  • Assessing how LEI are likely to impact and help manage risk, and improve transparency
  • What will LEI mean to your reference data strategy and how you could prepare?
  • Expediting the LEI adoption – what can you and your organization do to help speed up the process?

12:20 Making Decisions, Taking On Challenges & Changing The Way Your Organisation Is Run – What Data Can Do For You & What You Can Do For Data?
Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller, Former Head, MI5
Intelligence and security operations around the world rely on one and only one thing – information, data and its analysis. Every time a disaster is prevented, lives are saved or an important event goes without problems, it is the triumph of those who collected, evaluated and analysed data effectively and correctly. Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller had to deal with thousands of pieces of data every day. Unlike in films, in real life data comes in different forms, often messy, often at the wrong time and you could never know for certain if it is true quality data. Hundreds and hundreds of data management professionals are involved on all levels in managing this data, sorting it, organizing it, making it available to those on the ground. Life and death decisions are made on the basis of available data. Just the responsibility each of those data managers in MI5 has on a daily basis makes the task unthinkable. So how did they cope? 9/11 and all the events that followed? State visits? The security of the government? War against terror? Keeping London safe? The list of questions and possible problems was growing by the hour. Join Lady Eliza to hear her story. Ask her questions, find out how she slept at night and coped with the challenges. Here are some of the questions we will be asking her after her talk:
  • What are the key competence criteria that you would use to recruit a real life agent?
  • How would you describe the recruitment advantages/disadvantages of the two comparative locations Cheltenham (GCHQ) and London for MI5's workforce?
  • Does MI5 offshore or outsource any data management functions?
  • What types of data management quality techniques are used to ensure that the identity of individuals is beyond doubt?
  • Can you think of any ways we could leverage Spooks's high profile data analyst role to create a degree of kudos for such roles in the world of finance?
