The Changing Governance Landscape

We've been working with a number of major companies who have been responding to an increasing tide of regulation (notably the Basel-related requirements in the Banking sector). The projects have shown some interesting differences from traditional metadata-based projects and traditional IT and Data Governance projects. This presentation will draw on the "real-life" experiences to show how the Governance landscape is changing and contrast productive/successful approaches and less productive/less successful efforts.

During this session we will discuss:

How the scope of information management is changing, and how business and technical perspectives of data are being incorporated into governance systems
How the tooling for governance is changing
What is the core set of capabilities for IT and Data Governance
How Big Data is playing into the governance challenges
