My first article, When Is Information Quality NOT Information Quality?, identifies the fundamental flaws of the data quality process being professed by others. However, if you want a sound "Data Quality" or "Information Quality" process, you must understand and apply quality management principles.
My second article, IAIDQ Sponsors Information Quality Conference, describes the 17th annual Information Quality Conference. This recent conference highlighted the IAIDQ's role in improving an organizations' data and information quality.
