Many organizations view Data Governance as being over-and-above normal work efforts and threatening to the existing work culture of the organization. Many organizations have a difficult time getting people to adopt data governance best practices because of a common belief that data governance is about command-and-control. While I firmly state that data governance is “the execution and enforcement of authority over the management of data”, nowhere in that definition does it say that Data Governance has to be invasive or threatening to the work, people and culture of the organization. It does not have to be that way!
“Non-Invasive Data Governance”, the approach taught and implemented by Robert S. Seiner of KIK Consulting & TDAN.com, focuses on formalizing existing accountability for the management of data and improving formal communications, value and quality efforts through effective cross-organization stewarding of data resources.

How to Build & Implement “Non-Invasive Data Governance" & Data Stewardship Programs
2-Day Public Course Taught by Robert S. Seiner - KIK Consulting & TDAN.com
Monday & Tuesday, September 22 & 23, 2008
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA
B-EYE READER RATE: REGISTER 2 PEOPLE BY AUGUST 1, 2008 AND A 3RD PERSON FROM THE SAME ORGANIZATION CAN ATTEND AT NO ADDITIONAL COST!
Dear Friends of TDAN.com & the Business Intelligence Network,
TDAN.com and KIK Consulting & Educational Services, LLC are proud to announce our next public course on Data Governance & Data Stewardship. The course titled ‘How to Build & Implement “Non-Invasive Data Governance” & Data Stewardship Programs’ will be offered on September 22nd & 23rd at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The course always receives very positive reviews and has sold out often in the past. Please see the attached explanation of “Non-Invasive Data Governance” and public course brochure, and read on for more information …
Public and Private companies, Government entities and institutions of learning are finding it necessary to implement Non-Invasive (and Non-Threatening) Data Governance and Data Stewardship programs to improve and achieve discipline around the management of the enterprise’s most critical and valuable data. Many of these organizations are focusing on maximizing the value of data integration efforts (CDI, MDM, EDW, ERP, …), improving data infrastructure, securing classified data, satisfying regulators, and improving data architecture as drivers behind implementing “Non-Invasive Data Governance" programs that are molded to fit their existing organization, culture and behavior.
Data Governance and Stewardship programs, applied to the existing organizations, roles and the information resources of your organization (including Data, Master Data & Meta-Data) are implemented to improve the value you gain from your data assets. Governance and Data Stewardship programs focus on improving data quality, reducing data duplication, formalizing accountability for data, and improving business and IT productivity. A “Non-Invasive Data Governance” Program will rapidly improve the ROI from data architecture, data quality, data warehousing and business intelligence efforts, application integration efforts, ERP, CRM, content and knowledge management, and EAI efforts. [If you are not familiar with “Non-Invasive Data Governance”™, please send me a quick email requesting more information.]
Students of this class will learn how to implement effective “Non-Invasive Data Governance” & Data Stewardship programs and how to immediately formulate a strategy & plan that will deliver measurable results with minimal investment.

How the heck can data governance be non-invasive? I am getting this question a lot these days. In fact more than 90% of the people that attend my sessions at the TDWI, MDM, DAMA and DG conferences tell me that the term “Non-Invasive Data Governance”™ is what attracts them to the session. They walk out at the end of the sessions as believers.
Let me answer this question quickly and to the point ...
----------------------------------------------------
Many organizations view Data Governance as being over-and-above normal work efforts and threatening to the existing work culture of the organization. It does not have to be that way.
Many organizations have a difficult time getting people to adopt data governance best practices because of a common belief that data governance is about command-and-control. It does not have to be that way.
While I firmly state that data governance is “the execution and enforcement of authority over the management of data”, nowhere in that definition does it say that Data Governance has to be invasive or threatening to the work, people and culture of the organization. It does not have to be that way.
“Non-Invasive Data Governance”™, the approach taught and implemented by Robert S. Seiner of KIK Consulting & TDAN.com, focuses on formalizing existing accountability for the management of data and improving formal communications, value and quality efforts through effective cross-organization stewarding of data resources.
“Non-Invasive Data Governance”™ can be summed up in a few quick statements:
With Non-Invasive Data Governance - Data steward responsibilities are identified and recognized, formalized and engaged according to their existing responsibility rather than being assigned or handed to people as more work.
With Non-Invasive Data Governance - The governance of data is applied to existing policies, standard operating procedures, practices, and methodologies … rather than being introduced or emphasized as new processes or methods.
With Non-Invasive Data Governance - The governance of data augments and supports all data integration, risk management, business intelligence and master data management activities rather than imposing inconsistent rigor to these initiatives.
With Non-Invasive Data Governance - Specific attention is paid to assuring senior management’s understanding of a practical and non-threatening yet effective approach to governing data that will be taken to mediate ownership and promote stewarding of data as a cross-organization asset, rather than the traditional method of “you will do this”.
With Non-Invasive Data Governance - Best practices and key concepts of the non-threatening approach are communicated effectively, compared to existing practices to identify and leverage strengths and enable the ability to address opportunities to improve.
Data Governance, by the mere inclusion of the term “governance”, requires the administration of something. In this case, Data Governance refers to the administering of discipline around the management of data. Rather than making the discipline appear threatening and difficult, my suggestion is to follow a “Non-Invasive Data Governance”™ approach that focuses on formalizing what already exists and addressing opportunities to improve.
----------------------------------------------------
For more information on the “Non-Invasive Data Governance”™ approach, please consider attending a public two-day seminar at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on June 9 & 10. Mention this blog when registering and receive one free seat in the seminar for every two at regular price. Visit http://www.kikconsulting.com for more information.
Also, Please keep your eyes out for the announcement of a TDAN.com and Business Intelligence Network co-produced Webinar titled - “Non-Invasive Data Governance”™: It is Not all About Command and Control - coming soon to an internet connection near you.
What is NON-INVASIVE DATA GOVERNANCE? How can Data Governance possibly be non-threatening and non-bureaucratic? There IS a pragmatic way to quickly and inexpensively build your program using proven templates and internally developed tools. KIK Consulting & Educational Services, LLC will conduct a 2-day public seminar – How to Build & Implement “Non-Invasive Data Governance” and Data Stewardship Programs – on Monday and Tuesday June 9 & 10, 2008 at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

REMINDER:
The early registration discount and the hotel discount expires Monday, December 17th. Space is still available for the January course. Visit http://www.kikconsulting.com for more information.
Dear Friends & Colleagues,
TDAN.com and KIK Consulting & Educational Services, LLC are proud to announce our next public course on Data Governance & Data Stewardship. The course titled “How to Build & Implement “Non-Invasive Data Governance”© & Data Stewardship Programs: Delivery of a Proven Framework of Roles, Tools, Processes and Templates” will be offered on January 24th & 25th at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The course always receives very positive reviews and has sold out often in the past.
Public and Private companies, Government entities and institutions of learning are finding it necessary to implement “Non-Invasive” (and Non-Threatening) Data Governance and Data Stewardship programs to improve and achieve discipline around the management of the enterprise’s most critical and valuable data. Many of these organizations are focusing on maximizing the value of data integration efforts (CDI, MDM, EDW, ERP, …), improving data infrastructure, securing classified data, satisfying regulators, and improving data architecture as drivers behind implementing “Non-Invasive”© Data Governance programs that are molded to fit their existing organization, culture and behavior.
Visit http://www.kikconsulting.com for more information.
Data Governance and Stewardship programs, applied to the existing organizations, roles and the information resources of your organization (including Data, Master Data & Meta-Data) are implemented to improve the value you gain from your data assets. Governance and Data Stewardship programs focus on improving data quality, reducing data duplication, formalizing accountability for data, and improving business and IT productivity. A “Non-Invasive Data Governance”© Program will rapidly improve the ROI from data architecture, data quality, data warehousing and business intelligence efforts, application integration efforts, ERP, CRM, content and knowledge management, and EAI efforts. [If you are not familiar with the “Non-Invasive Approach to Data Governance”©, please send me a quick email requesting more information.]
Students of this class will learn how to implement effective Data Governance & Data Stewardship programs and how to immediately formulate a strategy & plan that will deliver measurable results with minimal investment.
Please visit http://www.kikconsulting.com for more information.
The instructor, Robert S. Seiner of KIK Consulting & Educational Services, LLC (yours truly) has been implementing successful data governance and data stewardship programs for more than twelve years and has been transferring “how-to” knowledge to corporate, government and education entities via consulting, consultative mentoring & education for more than ten years. A significant amount of the Seminar relates to Mr. Seiner’s experiences with many notable companies, government organizations and institutions of higher learning.
Mr. Seiner has offered this Seminar for corporate, government and education entities on site at their locations for many years and began providing the course in a public setting a few years ago due to overwhelming interest. By providing public classes, Mr. Seiner hopes to reach a broader audience and those companies that are interested in learning about successful stewardship & governance implementations but that don’t have the numbers of interested individuals to bring the Seminar on-site.
Price:
$1175 if paid on or before December 17th, 2007
$1275 if paid after December 17th, 2007 and before January 24th, 2008.
Prices include the 2 day Seminar, Seminar materials, breakfast and lunch both days
