Seminar Description

How can one reduce the time it takes to develop a commonly accepted vocabulary of business terms and at the same time increase the quality? How can you ensure that you didn’t miss key aspects of the business glossary and/or avoid costly mistakes within your Data Governance effort?

The most efficient and productive approach is to reuse templates. In fact, it makes no sense at all to develop business glossaries from scratch without the use of libraries of reusable terms and definitions, methods, guides showing common mistakes, models that provide context, and tools that you can use to quickly develop a quality glossary.

This two-day seminar provides a comprehensive, proven, and effective approach to developing a shared, accepted, and useful business glossary across the enterprise. The seminar includes a complete methodology, as well as proven approaches, tools, techniques, and case studies of organizations that successfully developed a common business glossary.

In this informative, fun, and interactive two-day seminar, you will learn:

• The greatest challenges regarding developing a shared business glossary from decades of past experiences
• How to identify and manage critical data elements for the glossary
• How to jump-start development of a business glossary using “universal” constructs, saving huge costs and time
• 16 foundational guidelines for developing definitions within the business glossary
• How to develop an effective process for developing the glossary using a template process
• How to capture data rules and other important information about each glossary item
• How to apply various linguistic sciences to establish clear meaning, context, and usage
• How to identify and resolve common issues in developing a business glossary
• How to facilitate collaboration and resolve differences between semantics, definitions, and rules to provide consistency across the enterprise
• Tools available to assist with the development of a business glossary
