We understand that metadata has the power to help improve data quality, clarify communication, and increase the overall value of our corporate data assets. But how do we communicate the ROI value of a Metadata Program in such a way as to secure top-down support and those much needed funds for dedicated resources? One key to achieving this support is to turn all cross-functional stakeholders into metadata advocates. This session will lay out an easy-to-follow roadmap for achieving a highly valuable cross-functional network of supporters and advocates necessary for securing top-down support, funds and resources. \nParticipants in this session will learn how to:\nTurn cross-functional stakeholders into Metadata Program advocates\nIdentify, standardize and prioritize cross-functional Metadata Program needs\nEffectively communicate those needs and ROI to senior executives and other stakeholders\nDevelop a Metadata Program plan and Maturity Model
