Testimonials
“The Masterclass (Data Strategy – Design and Implementation) was a great space to interact with other industry professionals with similar interests in data and data strategy. The content that was shared by Dr. Irina is tremendously valuable, something that has evolved with her years of experience in the field, and that will become part of my toolbox for future challenges.”
“Thank you for facilitating the Masterclass “Data Strategy: Design and Implementation”. It was highly interactive, engaging and informative.
This masterclass enhanced my understanding on data management by incorporating a multi-level perspective, where data management is viewed through strategic, tactical and operational lenses.
I gained valuable insight in identifying key business drivers and relevant stakeholders, allowing me to deliver information in a way that provides lasting value.
This was a highly fruitful learning experience and I will not hesitate to recommend your services to other organizations. I take this opportunity to thank you once again for your time and expertise in this excellent facilitation.”
“After looking at the mapping of Legislative requirements to the data lineage model developed by Dr. Irina Steenbeek in her book, Data Lineage from a Business perspective (page 38). I was surprised with new benefits to having a unified data model, which are:
- Reduce the need to have complex transformations between Data warehouses and source systems.
- Reduce the need to have many transformation rule’s between data warehouses, data marts and source systems.
- Ability to compile with both BCBS239 and GDPR with more ease.
Adding to that, I have realized that having the model developed by her, as an input to the data modeling process of the desired Unified data model can lead to having data models that address both GDPR and BCBS239 requirements. This ability to address requirements early on is key toward developing other data models for specific solutions and usages.”
- Management Toolkit 2.0 and analyzing how to best apply the principles and concepts of the O.R.A.N.G.E. data governance framework to my daily work and also throughout the organization I support as the lead master data governance analyst. Anything to do with data can be complex; getting an entire organization to synergy around a governance framework and harmonized data model is exceptionally complex. Integrating people, processes, and technology to achieve data quality and consistency, facing challenges like resistance to change, defining roles and responsibilities, establishing clear policies, resolving data silos, managing technology integration, adapting to regulatory changes is a monumental task. Dr. Irina’s book (previously referenced) is “THE” practitioners guide to implementing master and metadata governance! Dr. Irina successfully integrates established DAMA-DMBoK and DCMA concepts into her O.R.A.N.G.E. framework model and the “by-phase” step-by-step layout of the concepts guides the reader through the material in a very useful way. The “templates” section, starting on page 309 of the written material, provides 25 data management, structure, and lineage examples that are exceptional! These are wonderful blueprinting session accelerators. The Data Management Toolkit 2.0 will always be on my desk to reference and used in practice, for training new data management professionals, and for communicating leading practices across diverse functional areas and enterprise systems data migrations. It is a privilege to be included in Dr. Irina’s circle of colleagues and friends. I look forward to Dr. Irina’s future publications and commentaries regarding the best ways to have engaged data management and governance conversations with senior executives, finance and risk committees, and boards of directors. I am eager to support Dr. Irina in her next great task; evangelizing the necessities of data governance, securing adequate resources on a recurring basis, and bridging the chasm that exists between data governance perception and reality in the C-suite! Thank you, Dr. Irina, for crystallizing your knowledge and training into this great book.
Your presentation at yesterday’s metadata masterclass was both insightful & thought-provoking. Your idea around the O.R.A.N.G.E. integrated metadata framework reveals a product of slow and careful thinking and synthesis of different ideas and disciplines.
I was happy to participate today in Dr. Irina Steenbeek’s very fruitful masterclass on Data Governance and Data Management. It is always interesting to hear the different points of view of colleagues, as we all bring diverse experiences. Moreover, it is nice to see how, from these different experiences, we came out with similar visions. Special thanks for the shared real-life stories, which made the session not only very vivid but also effectively highlighted the key points.
