Highlights:	Non-Invasive Data Governance™ Essentials - 9/27 & 9/28   This class is taught by Robert S. Seiner.  In this class you will learn a "Non-Invasive" approach to Data Governance where:   ·         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. 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. 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. 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". 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.   Students of this class will learn how to take a non-threatening, practical & pragmatic, but most of all a "Non-Invasive" approach to implementing a Data Governance Program and how to immediately formulate a strategy & plan that will deliver measurable results with minimal investment.   Data Modeling Essentials - 9/29 & 9/30   This class is taught by Steve Hoberman.  Data Modeling Fundamentals contains a complete explanation of data modeling concepts and terminology, along with techniques for producing solid relational and dimensional data models. This course is designed to give you a practical understanding of data modeling that can be applied to your current projects. You will learn:   Data modeling concepts and terminology How to read a data model Steps to building a subject area model Logical data modeling techniques of normalization, abstraction, and dimensionality Physical data modeling techniques of denormalization, partitioning, views, and indexing
