The webinar looks at the emergence of data marketplace and their value in business. It looks at what a data marketplace is, why your company might need one, and how you can use it to govern the publishing and sharing of ready-made, high-quality, compliant data and analytical products for others to consume and use and how it can help shorten time to value.

Webinar Overview:
The webinar will cover:
• Becoming data driven – executive expectations
•             What’s required to become data driven?
o The need for a high-quality data foundation to support timely decisions
o Data producers and data consumers 
o The need for reusable data and analytical products 
o Building data products to incrementally build a data foundation 
o The need for a data marketplace to publish and govern data sharing
• What is a data marketplace?
• Challenges in establishing a data marketplace
• What processes are needed to operate a data marketplace?

Data Marketplaces and How They Help Shorten Time to Value

Enabling FAIR Data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable) is critical for AstraZeneca to unlock value from our existing data and to ease the handling of future data. We address 'Findability' through effective indexing and cataloguing, 'Accessibility' via a blend of automated and manual processes and enhance 'Reusability' by integrating processes into approved analytical environments. Yet the most significant challenge is 'Interoperability', which requires us to determine if datasets of the same type can be merged and how to link different types to answer complex questions. This talk will show how AstraZeneca's Research & Development tackle these challenges to optimise data re-use.

Data governance is hard, and it’s all because of human beings tend to be emotional and sometimes irrational. But it shouldn’t be an excuse, it should be an opportunity to leverage the sensitivity of human beings to drive data governance through cross-functional collaboration. Tiankai experienced some things about the human aspect of Data Governance and distilled it down to a few learnings that can work as guiding principles for a human-centric approach to effective data governance.

Data governance, but in a human way

Data Literacy 101

Proving value eludes many data professionals.

Calculating ROI or cost benefit analysis is just the start. Data's real value emerges when we partner with stakeholders to recognise, articulate, and realise its multidimensional benefits.

In this session, public sector data leader Bandhu Das will share insights for developing high-impact data business cases encompassing holistic benefits to win investments and spark engagement for change. Through examples, he’ll share his "Value Matrix" framework that builds on the Treasury's five case model by incorporating change and engagement as essential enablers.

This session welcomes both public and private sector data professionals. The attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences and challenges when pitching data programmes. The discussion will equip participants with practical frameworks to translate conceptual data solutions into funded initiatives that drive demonstrable value.

Bandhu Das brings 15+ years of diverse experience spanning finance, policy, and data to enable public sector organisations to adopt data and analytics at scale for public good.

As Defra's Head of Data Strategy and Engagement, Bandhu is currently leading the development of an enterprise data strategy and investment roadmap to unlock new levels of value-creation from data. He also oversees their data foundation programme - strengthening Defra's data assets and operating model to enable ethical and sustainable innovations.

Previously at HM Treasury, Bandhu led national-level data analytics projects informing key government reform decisions and publications. He also advised ministers to approve record data investments for modern cross-government data ecosystems and collaborations models.

As a DAMA UK committee member since 2023, Bandhu is dedicated to nurturing a thriving community of data professionals to elevate data as a strategic asset.

Unlocking the Value of Data - Lessons from Public Sector Data Business Cases

In today's rapidly evolving data landscape, traditional approaches to Data Governance no longer suffice. Most new technologies don't make much difference to how you would implement Data Governance in an organisation, however, Data Mesh with its combination of technology and organisational structure has changed that. In this session, Nicola Askham, The Data Governance Coach, will look the concepts of Data Mesh and Data Products and then their intersection with Data Governance, shedding some light on how you need to change your thinking to implement Data Governance successfully in a data mesh environment.

Join this session to get:

    A basic overview of what data mesh is
    An understanding of what data products are
    A case study of implementing Data Governance for Data Mesh

Data Mesh, Data Governance and the concept of data products

Master Data Management is another buzz phrase that has been around for quite a number of years. It waxes and wanes in popularity and tends to be at the impossible end of implementation.

We all know that having our data mastered provides real business value – otherwise we would not keep hearing about “One View of the Customer” or “360 View of the Customer”. BUT typically, what happens is that someone decides MDM is needed, finds a tool and kickstarts an implementation. The very important questions may very well not have been addressed in the “ooooh shiny” process of acquiring this new tool. And if these are not asked, then the chances of success drop significantly, and you may very well end up with a less than shiny white elephant.

So, let’s get pragmatic about MDM.

    * Why does it matter?
    * What are the use cases (YEP - those very important reasons for MDM) for mastering data?
    * What kind of MDM do we want?
    * Actually - do we need a tool, or can we look at our current data landscape and do what is needed without said tool?
    * What is needed to make it happen?
    * Is there an important executive here who can not only provide the budget, but is likely to be our sponsor and cheerleader?
    * Today outcome should be: Do you want to build YOUR case for MDM (or not)!

MDM - The Case for Success

Effective Data Governance principles, policies and operating models form critical foundations for an organisation’s capability to manage, leverage and improve its data assets. The Data Governance Policies enable the organisation to leverage data as an asset, creating a strong data foundation, by implementing a shared set of roles, processes, responsibilities and vocabulary around the purpose and value of data. A Data Governance framework establishes roles and responsibilities for the participants in the organisation. These participants include senior stakeholders, Data Governance bodies (Data Owners Council, Data Stewards Forum and working groups where required), Data Owners, Data Stewards and Data Consumers. This session will walk you through an example of a Data Governance Framework. 

Garry is currently the Head of Data Governance at Vanquis Banking Group and is accountable for the design, development, and implementation of the Group’s Data Governance Framework, specifically enabling Data Owners and Data Stewards to understand their data more, whilst the Group embarks on a significant Data Transformation programme. Garry has been working in Data Governance for 17 years, both in Consultancy for EY and PWC, and in a number of financial institutions such as Barclays and Visa. Through that he has had a number of adventures and could write a book on the bad mistakes made and lessons learned.

BCBS239 Kickstarted Data Quality at a UK Bank

Synopsis: As the proliferation and use of data continues to grow so to does the potential value of data to an organisation. Yet many organisations are still to realise tangible and measurable value from their data as evidenced by many analyst reports. Most organisations have invested in a centralised data strategy and data team to help transform themselves into a data driven orgsanisation, yet the benefit realised does not offset the investment in many cases. As the race to capitalise on data potential rages on, organisations look to next generation data architectures and principles to finally realise the true value from their data across the organisation. Data Mesh promises to help organisations revolutionise their data strategies but is this hype or reality?

During this session, we will discuss:-

    Challenges of current generation data platforms
    What is a Data Mesh (and what it’s not)?
    Principles and potential of Data Mesh
    The role of Data Products
    Is Data Mesh right for you?

Q&A

Data Mesh - data revolution or hype?

Nigel Turner (DAMA UK Committee) and Sarah Higham (Pets at Home) discuss a topic that is near and dear to all of us. Please join them as they chat about and get to grips with the importance of data governance when implementing data mesh/data fabric and AI across your data
