Data Governance Training Workshop

Most companies and organizations have begun defining Data Governance Program strategies and functional roadmaps to effectively govern the integration, the usability, the quality and the risks associated with data and information. These same companies and organizations are looking for a practical and pragmatic approach to Data Governance that will quickly demonstrate value and that will not require the extensive investment of resources.

"Non-Invasive Data Governance"TM, the approach developed by Robert S. Seiner and KIK Consulting, has been accepted into the culture of many companies and organizations through the leveraging of existing strengths while addressing opportunities to improve. "Non-Invasive Data Governance"TM focuses on people-oriented continuous improvement by "formalizing behavior" around the governance of data and does not require tremendous resources to accomplish its goals.

Robert S. Seiner, of KIK Consulting & Educational Services, LLC, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been a specialist in the implementation of "Non-Invasive Data Governance"TM and data stewardship programs, data management programs, data architecture, meta-data management, and knowledge management programs, for more than twenty years.

Led by Robert Seiner, founder of KIK Consulting and publisher of The Data Administration Newsletter (www.tdan.com), this will be the most in-depth, intensive and practical Data Governance education ever held in South Africa to date, and is an opportunity not to be missed!
