Few organizations operate without having to exchange data. (Many do it professionally and well!) The larger the data exchange burden (DEB), the greater the organizational overhead incurred. This death by 1,000 cuts must be factored into each organization’s calculations. Unfortunately, most organizations do not know if their organization’s DEB is great or small. A somewhat greater number of organizations have organized Data Management practices. Focusing Data Management efforts on increasing interoperability by decreasing the DEB friction is a good area to “practice.”
Learning Objectives:
• Gaining a good understanding of both important topics
• Understanding that data only operates at a very intricate, specifically dependent intent and what this means
• Understand state-of-the-practice
• Coordination is key, requiring necessary but insufficient interdependencies and sequencing
• Practice makes perfect
