Without data governance and literacy, the insights that are hidden in your data become limited. SME Solutions Group offers solutions that provide data glossaries, data catalogs, and other data management systems that help uncover the true insights in your data.
Do you trust your data? Are you asking the right questions? Do executives at your organization make decisions based on "gut feel"? Do you have a culture where employees are comfortable challenging executives with data?
New research shows only 24% of business decision makers, from junior managers to the C-suite, feel fully confident in their ability to read, work with, analyze and argue with that data—the fundamental skills that define a person’s data literacy.
Because the result of truthful, cleaned and well-governed data with a team that encouraged data literacy and encourages a "culture of desilofication" is unique, insightful, and data-driven ideas.
Let's think of the growth of data. While there is an average of 4,785 interactions per person today, it was only 300 per day in 2017. This begs the question, how far off with the 175 ZB prediction be in 1, 2, or 5 years’ time?
Because of this data explosion, it will be more important than ever to hone your decision-making skills by learning to ask the right questions of your data, interpret your findings and take informed action, which is the basis for data literacy.
In work and at home, data knowledge plays apart of all conversation…sports, politics, dinner conversations.
SME offers our clients a common approach to achieving the ability to read, work with, analyze and argue with data.
You might be wondering what implementing data governance would look like for your business.
The overall key of data governance is trusting your data. Beyond that, data governance involves policies, rules and accountability for overseeing data, including mapping out business value drivers to data expectations.
Good data governance is not something that the IT team or the business team can do on their own.
To achieve data governance that works, SME encourages both sides of an organization to work together in harmony, each knowing their own the each other's roles in handling data.
Adaptive governance is a fresh organizational function approach which will drive traditional data governance into the modern era and prepare organizations for emergent technologies in the coming years.
SME encourages an adaptive governance approach because it creates a balance between the agility and autonomy sides of data governance.
SME optimizes our clients' data by maintaining balance between the goals of self-service and the goals of governance.
