 re is foundational to any organization&nbsp;that exchanges data (internally
  or externally) and is a&nbsp;necessary but insufficient prerequisite to &#
 39;going digital.&#39;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without proper structure and efficiency i
 n an&nbsp;organization, data assets become diluted and cannot&nbsp;be use t
 o their full potential.&nbsp;Diluted data assets create&nbsp;friction that 
 drags digital transformations to a halt and&nbsp;slows ongoing operations.&
 nbsp;When designed well and&nbsp;used effectively, however, your data archi
 tecture forms&nbsp;the basis of your digital vocabulary.&nbsp;Data architec
 ture&nbsp;components are able to be referenced to inform,&nbsp;clarify, und
 erstand, and resolve the myriad of&nbsp;uncertainties that come with tranfo
 rmation.&nbsp;This&nbsp;program explains how data architecture principles a
 re&nbsp;used to increase the value of specific data components&nbsp;in orde
 r to provide a solid foundation for digital&nbsp;transformation and improve
  ongoing operations. It&nbsp;includes:\n\n\n\n\n
 Understanding what it means to incorporate data&nbsp;architecture into your
  existing environment&ndash;two&nbsp;goals:&nbsp;understanding and improvem
 ent.\n\n\n\n\n
 An overview of the various challenges standing&nbsp;between you and success
 &ndash;the 7 deadly data sins +&nbsp;guidance/best practices from the DAMA 
 DMBOK &amp;&nbsp;CMMI/DMM.\n\n\n\n\n
 Using strategy to guide data architecture evolution&nbsp;activities &ndash;
  lather rinse repeat.\n\n\n\n\n
 Building and articulating the business case for data&nbsp;architecture by r
 edefining the concept of &quot;achieving&nbsp;better use of your organizati
 onal data architecture&quot;&nbsp;to produce value that is recognized by th
 e business&nbsp;and materially contributes to digital transformations.\n\n\
