DESCRIPTION:Click for Latest Location Information: http://edw2015.dataversity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=87&proposalid=7134\nOur business colleagues are key to providing the core information about the business needs that you use to build data models, applications and configure packages.  But how do we elicit the key facts from the business? Have you ever tried to get a business person to read a data model?  Did their eyes glaze over? Is it even realistic to expect these folks to know "all of the requirements"? Of course not.  Modern requirements approaches demand a "co-creation" philosophy:\nThis workshop discusses:\nWhat is a Conceptual Data model, why it’s important and the pivotal role it plays in ALL architecture disciplines\nThe major differences between a Conceptual data model & other type of data models\nHow to use high-level data models to communicate with business people to get the core information you require to build robust applications\nWhy the Conceptual data model is NOT just for DBMS’s; the critical use of the CDM in other areas (mergers & acquisitions, communicating with the business, package configuration and more)\nWhat core information is needed, how this can be easily communicated to business people, and what visual constructs to use to get their attention\nTemplates and guidelines for a step-by-step approach to implementing a high-level data model in your organization
