9:00 Is The “Audit” Function Of Data Quality Worn Out?
Thomas C. Crimmins, Managing Director, Risk Information, JP Morgan Chase
Our thinking needs to change, adapt and develop in terms of data quality. From the business side of data, we’ve seen the data quality shop become an auditing source. I propose we shift gears and look at the value of seeing data quality as an internal consulting opportunity. Building out the proper placement in the corporate hierarchy, the tools to use in order to convince others that the shop adds, rather than detracts, from the bottom line.

10:10 Co-Presentation: Why Metrics Are Not Enough
Richard Livesley, Head, Information Governance & Quality, BMO Financial Group
Evelyne Roy, Director, Client Data Management, Capital Markets, BMO Financial Group
Risk and quality governance programs depend on the development of robust metrics. Challenges include aligning metrics to business objectives; determining tolerance ranges; and balancing cost of obtaining the metrics versus availability. The greatest challenge remains communicating insights in a way that provides meaning to business partners and drives an actionable improvement program.
  • We will review the governance framework of an information risk program
  • The framework demonstrates the criticality of effective risk metrics through examples
  • The process to select the metrics and determine risk tolerance will be reviewed
  • A process for translating the issues to action will be examined

1:45 A Practical Guide To Measuring Data Quality
Peter Benson, Executive Director and Chief Technical Officer, Electronic Commerce Code Management Association
Data plays a measurable role in how efficiently a business performs. As you remove access to data, risk increases until the business function is stopped or fails. Data quality is a business not a technical issue and the solution to data quality requires a commitment from business managers. Measuring data quality and the value added as a result of increasing its quality comes down to documenting business requirements for data and measuring the degree to which data meets these requirements. The axiom that you cannot manage what you do not measure applies to data. We all agree that data is a critical and valuable asset that we have to manage, but can we really measure its quality? The answer is yes, and businesses are successfully using ISO 8000 the international standard for data quality to measure and manage the quality of their data. The theory is simple and there is a proven practical method for documenting data requirements and for measuring data quality using open international standards.
  • Data quality is a business issue
  • There are simple practical steps you can take to measure data quality
  • Data quality and risk are highly correlated
  • You cannot manage what you do not measure applies to data
  • Do you have the data you need?

4:50 Cost Oriented Approach To Risk & Compliance
Emmanuel Kiyanda, Senior Manager, Market Operations Support, National Bank of Canada
Over the years I discussed with colleagues, peers and vendors about numerous EDM projects. Was it a success or failure for the organization? I share effective simple practices that allow EDM teams to remain relevant and add value to their organization.

Effective EDM practices:

  • Survey – Survey executive management to ensure they understand the EDM objectives
  • Charge back – Clearly charge back every single penny (you, data, team and technology) to profit centers
  • Discuss – Discuss charge backs, face-to-face, with profit centers
  • Assess – Truly assess track record and internal reputation
  • Respond – Be responsive to your clients and partners
  • Communicate – Communicate roadmap with clear targets & deadlines
