Abstract
One-day experiential workshop describes and illustrates the basic concepts of data management. Introductory course is appropriate for business professionals, IS professionals, and cross-functional groups who need to understand the issues surrounding data management in medium to large-scale enterprises.
 
Course explores the nature of data as a resource, defines data management terminology, and describes tools and techniques that are available for the management of data as a business asset. The style of the course is interactive and, during the second half of the day, participants are separated into two teams to play The Data Game, a workshop designed to bring home the concepts that have been taught throughout the day.
 
Audience
All levels of business and IS personnel. Interaction among participants in the class, especially in The Data Game, facilitates teamwork back on the job. For that reason, we recommend a mix of business and IS participants in the same class who need to interact closely to address functional or cross-functional data issues. Course size is limited to 20 participants. A minimum of 12 participants is recommended.
