We provide a wide range of programmes and courses to support the development of individuals and organisations in a data centric world. We are unique in focusing on knowledge, skills and cultural aspects relating to data management. We provide communications and training to a wide audience including top management, operations, development, governance and oversight people.
The world is constantly changing and organisations have to adapt to stay relevant and grow. Every organisation is unique. It has its own history, has specific strengths and weaknesses and sees the world from a unique perspective.
Internal and external data have become central to most organisations so viable strategy and achievable architecture are critical components of the management agenda.
Our courses describe how to create and execute viable strategies to achieve organisational objectives. They explain how to create architecture that can be implemented. They describe the roles and accountabilities of senior managers in today's regulated environment and explain how to adapt them for successful data management. Our courses in this area include:
There is a constant wave of regulation impacting organisations. Risk and trading regulation is largely a result of the financial crash of 2007/8. Privacy regulation is a result of changing technology and the behaviour of individual and organisations. Generally it all impacts data so our programme provides an integrated view of regulation to help you plan and implement more effectively.
Every organisation needs fit for purpose data. Who decides what fitness means and what are the measures, processes, tools and organisation to control data quality? What is the best risk based approach to allocating scarce resources to achieve good data. Our courses in this area include:
