The Problem With Communicating About Data Is the Assumption That It Has Taken Place
Channel: DATAVERSITY
Date: 2021-09-01

Managers and IT professionals are both interested in data, but they approach it from different perspectives. Both parties need a common reference – a logical data model that can function as a Rosetta Stone to translate from the business world to the technical world, and from the technical world to the business world.

Attendees will see the following:
- An outline of a methodology for becoming a data-driven organization
- A set of diagrams that explain the manager’s view of data to the IT professional, and the IT professional’s view of data to the manager
- A data modeling approach that can be understood by both managers and IT staff
- Lessons learned about the conceptual and terminological gap in several different industries
- A reference work with a “cookbook” structure, where each side can find a “recipe” that enables understanding of, and explaining to, the other side
