The common thing about all the projects I\u2019ve worked on, irrespective of industry or vertical, is the need for trustworthy, high-quality data. That continues to be true for new initiatives today such as digital twin, digital thread, predictive and prescriptive analytics, and even large language models such as ChatGPT. All of these things need accurate, complete, reliable data to fully unleash their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of organisations these days are data rich. They capture data from a wide variety of sources ranging from customer interactions, website traffic, manufacturing processes, sensors, etc. That being said, most delivery projects I\u2019ve been involved in have been constrained by data in one way or another. For example, data siloed and inaccessible to other teams, poor quality data, lack of understanding about datasets, and difficulties in accessing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two major initiatives that I think can help mitigate these issues: data governance and data cataloguing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data governance is the process of applying controls and processes to manage data through its lifecycle from creation to archival or deletion. That covers building teams drawn from across the business to define what good quality data looks like and proactively ensure that data meets these standards; the rules the data must comply with, the fields or attributes that are needed, and how long it can be retained for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data governance is not new and is certainly not quick or easy to implement. Many companies I\u2019ve worked with have deployed some form of data governance, but only one pharmaceutical company did it well. The differentiating factor was that the benefits of good-quality data and the impact of poor-quality data were understood at all levels of the business, making the organisation more receptive to implementing controls and management processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data cataloguing involves building a register of data used in an organisation or process, and then capturing and curating information about it. Data catalogues can hold information about what something means (i.e., a business glossary), the structure and format it takes and which system it comes from. Catalogues can be used to signpost which data sets are available, who to contact in order to gain access and some information about the lineage of the data as it flows through the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, everyone wants to work with the newest and shiniest technologies. Much earlier in my career, I\u2019d have leapt to the technology first, looking to implement the next new shiny thing to solve business problems. It\u2019s clear to me now, however, that the success of the shiny and new will be constrained by the quality of data fed into them. Cataloguing and strong data governance are the fundamentals that successful data-driven organisations are built from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the architecture of buildings, when considering data architecture, it pays to put solid foundations in place first before delivering the new and shiny stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read more blogs in our powering your digital capabilities, defining your digital culture DSEI series, please see quick links below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blog 1) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/insights\/expert-perspectives\/digital-defence-powering-your-digital-capabilities-defining-your-digital-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital defence: Powering your digital capabilities, defining your digital culture<\/a><br>Blog 2) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/insights\/expert-perspectives\/from-my-office-in-bath-to-across-the-globe-developing-safety-critical-systems-in-an-ever-expanding-digital-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">From my office in Bath to across the globe: Developing safety critical systems in an ever-expanding digital world<\/a><br>Blog 3) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/insights\/expert-perspectives\/embracing-a-digital-culture-a-journey-through-digital-transformation-in-aerospace-and-defence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Embracing a digital culture: A journey through digital transformation in aerospace and defence<\/a><br>Blog 4) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/insights\/expert-perspectives\/embracing-a-digital-culture-how-to-unlock-the-power-of-digital-transformation-in-defence\/\">Embracing a digital culture: How to unlock the power of digital transformation in defence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/news\/events\/join-capgemini-at-dsei-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about DSEI 2023<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-people-slider section section--expert-slider wrapper-people-slider undefined\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"content-title\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider slider-boxed\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"slider-window\"><div class=\"slider-list\">\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-4 box-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/Gareth-Stewart-002.jpg\" alt=\"Gareth Stewart\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-8 box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row title-social-media-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 mbl-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"subnav-button--form\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" aria-label=\"contact us\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#WPBeec91ee8_9703_41dc_a3ab_98baf9576653\" data-bs-expert-title=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ico-form\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 box-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"people-profile-title\">Gareth Stewart<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Data and Solution Architect<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 social-box-container dkt-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider-nav\"><button class=\"slider-prev inactive\" aria-label=\"Slider-previous\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/button><ul class=\"slider-paginator\"><\/ul><button class=\"slider-next\" aria-label=\"Slider-next\"><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we begin to gather pace in the run-up to DSEI 2023, we\u2019ll be sharing a series of blogs under our \u2018powering your digital capabilities, defining your digital culture\u2019 DSEI banner.
