Upcoming Blog Posts
Posted on June 18th, 2009 2 commentsJune has been a light month for blog posts. I’ve settled on upcoming topics, and even drafted my next couple of posts out. Why the slow month? I took a detour into Lean BI research that proved uninteresting to write about. I’ll scrap that. Gone also is my brief foray into Cloud Computing for BI. I’m just not an expert there. Good to learn about, but nothing I want to associate my name with yet. I also had to knock out a conference presentation for this Summer.
I’ve settled on the following upcoming topics. Bear with me while I get them out there. Enjoy the previous posts in the Data Governance folder. Also, please comment if there are any areas you’d like me to explore.
1) Lightweight Data Governance: A Starting Point
A continuation of the previous post. I’ve finished my MIT Information Quality Symposium presentation for this Summer, and think it would be helpful to write some background on the theory I’m developing. In a recent conversation with a Data Governance colleague, they referred to the work as “different from what everyone else is doing.” I hope that’s a good thing. Either way, it confirmed that the presentation will be provocative for that group. So I’ve got that going for me.
2) Data Quality and Data Governance Blogs I’d Recommend
I’ve been keeping a list of those bloggers I think are really good. I look for people who put their opinions out there, and keep the topic light. I’m also a fan of those who are tool agnostic. Too many in our field are married to their vendors. It’s a bad position to take.
3) Demographic and Firmagraphic Appends
A continuation of my B2C vs. B2B series. In this post I’ll explore where the value is, how to incorporate and whether you should even bother. Have you maximized your own data first? Are there other ways to get access to this data for free? Some podcaster’s I follow think so. More to come in the blog post.

Hi Mark
Like the approach you’ve taken here, great idea for other bloggs, gets you focused and also useful for feedback to help shape your posts.
So, here is my wishlist…
Lightweight Governance - Currently interviewing other experts on the topic of guerilla governance, really interested to see your take on this whole subject as there appear to be intersections, very intrigued, governance is of huge interest at present, every interview we do seems to have governance connotations, keen to get your take on the subject.
As a BI/DQ hybrid kind of guy I’d also like to see you explore in future how companies like your past and present employers enrich their data with external reference datasets. What does that give you in terms of BI and what headaches does it give you in terms of DQ?
We’ll hopefully be covering some of the speakers in the MIT Symposium too so some personal reflections of the event, who’s innovating/caught your eye post would be great too as it’s always great to hear from people attending the events.
Thanks for giving us a heads-up on your plans for the month, nice touch.

Thanks for weighing in Dylan. I’m covering the Lightweight Data Governance in a post coming later today (6/22). Next up is the Firmagraphic / Demographic post which will focus on external data. I’ll try to answer your question there regarding BI benefit vs. DQ headache.
It would also be great to talk during or following the MIT Symposium. Will you be attending? Feel free to contact me directly to coordinate or for any questions.
