"Through 2025, 80% of organizations seeking to scale digital business will fail because they do not take a modern approach to data and analytics governance." - Gartner

Organizations are rushing to implement Data Catalogs to solve their governance challenges, however these implementations are falling short in providing value beyond a small set of analysts. Join us on this webinar to learn how to implement governance in a way that benefits everyone in the organization, including consumers of BI. 

We will discuss:
1. Extending Metadata to the point of BI consumption to drive data literacy
2. Using governance to promote discoverability
3. Persona based governance

Stop the Madness! A Practical Guide to Making Your Data Catalog Strategy Work

Wayne Eckerson, an internationally recognized thought leader in the business intelligence and analytics field, will share his perspective on enterprise Business Intelligence portals. BI Portals provide business users one-stop shopping for any BI asset throughout an enterprise and give BI administrators a powerful tool for optimizing BI usage and rationalizing BI portfolios.

Watch this webinar to learn....

How a BI Portal enables business users to:
1. Search for any BI asset throughout an enterprise.
2. Use BI assets no matter which tool generated them without leaving the BI portal.
3. View a home page that displays content based on role, department, or favorites.
4. Improve data literacy by inspecting metadata attributes for every BI asset.
5. Contribute “tribal knowledge”, such as comments and ratings.

How administrators:
1. Gain line-of-sight visibility into BI activity and optimize BI environments.
2. Track usage by user, department, tool, report, and any number of other attributes throughout the enterprise.
3. Abstract content from BI tooling so changes or updates to BI tools or content doesn’t impact business users.
4. Provide effective BI governance through the entire lifecycle of a BI asset.

Business Intelligence Portals: The Heart & Soul of a BI Program

Much of the work performed by Data Science teams remains buried far away from business users. To generate real value from investment in machine learning, companies must bring these resources into the light of day. This webinar will be a case study on how a wide array of data science assets can be published and governed in a centralized platform.

We will cover:
- Consolidating a heterogeneous set of data science assets under a single pane of glass
- Capturing & sharing metadata to promote discoverability
- Enabling enterprise-wide search for maximum adoption and reusability

Bringing your Data Science Assets into the Light of Day

An organization’s competencies in descriptive and diagnostic business intelligence (BI) lay the foundation for excellence in advanced analytics, and a failure to achieve sufficiency in business intelligence can thwart an organization’s efforts to take meaningful predictive and prescriptive analytics into production. Many companies struggle to achieve BI sufficiency and continue to wrestle with complex design and implementation problems related to the delivery of descriptive business intelligence to their business constituencies.

Join industry experts Marc Demarest (CEO, Noumenal) and Marius Moscovici (CEO & Founder, Metric Insights) as they discuss the quantitative findings from IIA’s 2022 cross-industry Business Intelligence Maturity Market Study, and what those findings suggest about successful — and unsuccessful — strategies and tactics, including assessment, for building a stable BI foundation for your organization’s transition to advanced analytics.

Business Intelligence Maturity: The Foundation for Advanced Analytics

We focus a great deal of energy on governing our data and BI Tools but usually completely ignore the elephant in the room, Excel. In most organizations, users continue to rely heavily on Excel reporting for analytics and yet this user-generated content is left completely ungoverned. Excel reports are typically emailed between users without versioning or enforcement of data quality and without controls around the sharing of sensitive data. In terms of governance, this is a recipe for disaster.

This presentation will explore the reasons why Excel is appealing to users as a reporting tool and will provide a roadmap for including user-generated reporting into your BI Governance solution.

We will discuss:
- Why the problem is not going away: The drivers that make Excel appealing as a reporting tool
- The consequences of leaving Excel Reporting out of a governance strategy
- How to make governance of Excel appealing to your business users
- Key aspects of a governance solution for Excel

BI Ops provides the guardrails that make enterprise-wide BI implementations successful. 

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the challenges associated with environments that have no BI ops in place, focusing on the following areas:
- Asset lifecycle management
- Publishing & certification processes
- Multi-environment change control
- Usage monitoring
- Continuous Feedback
- Metadata synchronization

What is BI Ops and why you'll fail without it

There are many wrong ways to drive data literacy and only one right way - in context. Data Literacy efforts are only effective when they enable people to actively use and apply their new data literacy which they do when you put these programs in context. Join IIA and Metric Insights together with two deeply experienced leaders in Data Literacy at large companies as we share practical techniques to improve understanding and use data in the context of the business, the roles, and the organization.

Supporting Data Literacy Efforts With Self-Service BI

Organizations continually fail to generate ROI on their governance initiatives because they are too narrow in scope. To be effective, Business Intelligence (BI) governance must cover both data and visualizations.

This presentation will provide a practical step-by-step guide for implementing effective BI governance and a toolkit for addressing the three critical aspects of any program:

People - Roles and responsibility in the governance process
Process - A matrix to map out the right process for each type of information asset
Technology - The essential components required in your technology stack

A Practical Guide to Implementing Effective BI Governance

Join us as we uncover common pitfalls that occur when organizations try and implement data governance programs. Typically, time and effort go into a bottom-up approach of governing all the possible data in the organization, but business users generally benefit from this effort. We will cover some best practices that will ensure that your current governance efforts are not a blocker to driving better engagement with BI.

In this webinar we will cover how to:
- Building an effective business glossary that end users can benefit from.
- The different types of content certification that are needed for effective governance.
- How to measure the effectiveness of your governance programs.

Avoid the common pitfalls in delivering data governance

Join speakers Abhishek Rajpurohit (Global BI & Analytics leads @ PayPal), Gregory Zelo (CIO @ Veeco), and Marius Moscovici (CEO @ Metric Insights) for this panel discussion on BI Governance.

Business intelligence (BI) governance includes the policies, processes, and procedures that ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of an organization’s BI initiatives.

BI governance can be intimidating because users have access to so many tools and varied content. This makes the establishment of a uniform layer of governance on top of a heterogeneous environment a daunting task.

However, governance is critical, and the lack of proper governance will result in poor user engagement and low ROI from BI investments.

Attend this webinar to learn:
- Why BI governance matters and how to get the most bang for your BI buck
- How to manage information access and discoverability
- Best practices for optimizing BI content, license utilization, and staff resources
- Ways to create trust with your BI team and the content they produce

[Panel Discussion] Business Intelligence Governance Best Practices

Creators of consumer applications are great at understanding their user journeys, and they’re adept at building workflows and functionality into their applications to fully navigate users through a process and to a conclusion (e.g. Postmates, Uber, etc). 

In Business Intelligence, however, it’s often done backwards and leads to far inferior results. More often than not, BI practitioners spend unnecessary time sourcing data and building dashboards. After these tedious tasks are completed they repeatedly publish the end results and simply hope that all of the bases are covered. They also mistakenly assume that users will create their own journeys to answer the questions that they have. Predictably, this never works and consistently results in users being overwhelmed with vastly underutilized content. The end result is frustrated users, a lack of trust in BI, and a poor ROI for your BI investments.

Creating Compelling User Journeys for your BI

Business Intelligence governance is an intimidating task for most large enterprises. Users have access to multiple tools and content, and establishing a uniform layer of governance on top of a heterogeneous environment is a daunting task. However, governance is critical, and the lack of proper governance leads to poor user engagement and low ROI from BI Investments.

Watch this webinar to learn about the 3 pillars required for effective BI governance:
• Information Access & Discoverability
• Content, License, and Staffing Optimization
• Trust Framework

We will explore the processes and technology that can be used to establish and maintain an effective governance layer across all your BI tools and assets.

The 3 Pillars of Effective Business Intelligence Governance

Join Waste Management and Metric insights as they discuss how to provide meaningful BI to your enterprise.

Synopsis:
Many organizations have hundreds or even thousands of reports and dashboards, in multiple BI tools, each overflowing with useful insights, yet only a handful are actively being consumed by their end business users. Even though they have answers readily available to them, BI teams still have a line out the door of people asking questions of their data. But why is this happening?

Challenges being faced by business users:

• Information overload – the sheer volume of reports available are completely overwhelming.
• Disparate sources – content exists in multiple tools and users don’t know where to look or what content even exists.
• Time - Business users think about data for a couple of minutes each day, so there is a need to have answers quickly to inform decision making, navigating so many different dashboards elongates this process.
• Generic approach – Seldom are these dashboards personalized and customized making it a challenge to navigate.

In today’s talk, we will be walking through some key use-cases of how we have been dealing with the challenges of cleaning up their BI mess and making sense of the noise of data dashboards & reports allowing everyone to have the ability to access the information they need right at their fingertips in a user-friendly way.

Key Learnings:

• Learn how you can clean up your BI mess.
• Understand how your complex information can be woven together in a simple way.
• Learn how to adapt your processes from information overload to personalized & insight-driven.
• Have greater clarity on where you sit within your journey of making sense of the noise.

Making Sense of the Noise: How to Provide Meaningful Business Intelligence

The ability to drive consistent use and widespread adoption of Business Intelligence is an ongoing challenge for many companies, and the inability to achieve this consistency and uniform adoption can significantly impede their progress in becoming information and data-driven organizations.

Departmental siloes, tool proliferation, end-user data literacy, and other challenges too often produce an environment in which a shared, common understanding of the organization’s key performance indicators fail to materialize. In addition, metrics and measurements – the much-discussed “single-source-of-truth” – often fail to take shape, which in turn leads to competing versions of the truth; a lack of trust in available decision-making data; and, degradation in decision-making speed and effectiveness.

In this webinar, we will:
• Explore the underlying conditions that lead to the challenges of driving consistent and company-wide adoption of Business Intelligence
• Examine case studies of companies that have successfully solved these challenges
• Suggest solutions to the issues preventing organizations from building the necessary but elusive "Single Source of Truth"

Achieving a Single Source of Truth with Business Intelligence in Your Enterprise

A well-designed BI Portal can be transformational by dramatically boosting user engagement with analytics. Metric Insights allows you to quickly build a highly tailored user experience that helps users cut through the clutter in the reporting environment and engage with the right analytics to drive good decision-making.

This webinar will outline the top drivers for poor BI engagement and will present portal page design patterns that:
1. Streamline the experience of working across many dashboards
2. Enable efficient top-down exploration of KPIs across multiple dashboards
3. Deliver context required for data literacy together with analytics

Specific examples will be shared for each design pattern to illustrate how the Portal page design is effective in creating a delightful user experience that delivers high BI user engagement.
