Real-World Data Governance Webinar Series
Data Modeling is Data Governance
Robert S. Seiner with Special Guest David Hay
Produced by DATAVERSITY
September 17, 2015
Data modeling is considered a staple in the world of data management. The skill of the data modeler and their knowledge of the business plays a large role in successful Enterprise Information Management across many organizations. Data modeling requires formal accountability, attention to metadata and getting the business heavily involved in data requirement development. These are all traits of solid Data Governance programs.
Join Bob Seiner and Dave Hay in this month’s installment of Real-World Data Governance to discuss data modeling as a form of data governance. Learn how to use the skillfulness of the data modeler to advance data-as-an-asset and governance agendas, while conveying the importance and value of both disciplines.
In this webinar Bob and Dave will talk about:
- Data Modeling as Art or Science
- Role of Data Modeler in a Governance Program
- Data Modeler Skills as Governance Skills
- Modeling and Governance Best Practices
- Leveraging the Model as a Governance Artifact

Recent DAMA Webinar
August 18, 2015
Taking Information Governance to the Next Level
Our society is rapidly evolving towards being information driven. Nearly every industry and line of business is confronted with increasing amounts of data and a push towards better decision making. The domain of data governance has transformed into a much broader field of expertise that is about much more than being an honest broker focusing on better definitions and clarifying ownership. The rapid adoption of analytics, increasing sets of data sources, HOV (harder to obtain value) data and compliance needs has resulted in mushrooming of often unrelated initiatives. The next generation of Information Governance needs to embrace these developments and use the domain experience to allow the convergence of the disparate initiatives and use the energy and enable information centric organizations.
The webinar focused on:
- Setting the scene: Defining ‘Information Centric Organization’
- Positioning Information Governance in a CDO context: Information innovation as a driver
- Drowning in the data lake or having a breach? Data Governance as a safeguard
- Defining and selling the information strategy

The Only Book on the Subject
Non-Invasive Data Governance: The Path of Least Resistance and Greatest Success
Publisher: Technics Publications; September 1, 2014 – ISBN-10: 1935504851
Written by Robert S. Seiner – KIK Consulting & TDAN.com
Data governance programs focus on authority and accountability for the management of data as a valued organizational asset. Data Governance should not be about command-and-control, yet at times could become invasive or threatening to the work, people and culture of an organization. Non-Invasive Data Governance™ focuses on formalizing existing accountability for the management of data, and improving formal communications, protection, and quality efforts through effective stewarding of data resources.
Non-Invasive Data Governance will provide you with a complete set of tools to help you deliver a successful data governance program. Learn how:
- Steward responsibilities can be identified, recognized, formalized, and engaged according to their existing responsibility, rather than being assigned or handed to people as more work.
- Governance of information can be applied to existing policies, standard operating procedures, practices, and methodologies, rather than being introduced or emphasized as new processes or methods.
- Governance of information can support all data integration, risk management, business intelligence and master data management activities rather than imposing inconsistent rigor to these initiatives.
- A practical and non-threatening approach can be applied to governing information and promoting stewardship of data as a cross-organization asset.
- Best practices and key concepts of this non-threatening approach can be communicated effectively to leverage strengths and address opportunities to improve.
