How to Thrive in Global Data Management

Working in Data Management in today’s global business environment can be bewildering with seemingly an array of differing business approaches, processes and cultures.

This presentation aims to share the experience gained from many years in this kind of environment, augmented by discussions with DAMA colleagues, around the world and will provide the delegate with ideas and suggestions on techniques to support their growth in the profession.

While the session will focus mainly on communication there will also be practical tools that can be used to understand and support modelling of the data landscape.

The session will cover:

It looks different but is it? How to distill to the essence of a business
Speaking the same language, how to find and apply the right communication method for the situation
Common challenges and approaches to manage them
Winning strategies
