Description Course Outline Exam Details
 

Bad data harms almost all organizations, adding cost to operations, angering customers, increasing risk, and making it more difficult to craft and execute strategy. Good business cases help build support for the hard work needed to improve.

Two important components of a business case are Business Benefits and a Cost-of-Poor-Data-Quality (COPDQ) analysis. To be clear, assigning dollar values to some benefits and costs is extremely difficult. As Dr. Deming observed, "the true costs of poor quality are unknown and unknowable." Dr. Deming was referring specifically to manufacturing but, so far anyway, his insights have proven true for quantifying the cost of poor data as well.

Critically a good business case engages both "the head and the heart," narrowing the focus to the benefits and costs that have the greatest logical and emotional appeal to the organization. For example, a company pursuing a strategy of customer intimacy may be far more concerned about costs associated with customer anger than increased operational costs. Finally, the business case must be sold in powerful ways.

This online training course offers a comprehensive analysis of benefits of high-quality data and costs of poor data quality, capped with the detailed process for developing and delivering a powerful and effective business case.


You will learn:
  • How to think through both the benefits of high-quality data and the costs of poor quality
  • How to distinguish costs that are estimable from those that cannot
  • How to perform cost-of-poor-data-quality (COPDQ) analysis
  • How to create a business case for data quality that engages both "the head" and "the heart"
  • How to deliver and sell business case for data quality

This course is geared towards:
  • Those tasked with getting a data quality program started, or advancing an existing program
  • Those who must build support for their data quality efforts
  • Those seeking to advance data quality in the face of indifference, tight budgets, opposition, etc
  • Data stewards and data quality professionals who want to better understand costs and benefits of data quality

Reviewer: Jhomar Getizo  
The course gave me a practical insight of what I am doing right now on my project called 'Cost of Poor Quality Data'. It gave me a foot print/stepping foundation on how to envision the perspective, especially in preparing a good business case for the improvements.

Reviewer: Chris Trimble  
This was by far the best class I've taken in regards to Data Quality.  The instructor used relevant, real world examples to emphasis his points and clearly knew a lot about the subject.  No changes needed, this class is great as is.

Reviewer: Wan Li Chen  
Good materials for someone has some background about data quality and would like to explore more on its impact, benefit and how to present business case. Presentation Materials can be more catchy, it is a bit wordy and might lost focus of the participant.
