The energy industry has experienced a rapid increase in measured and interpreted data creating challenges to data quality management, such as device calibration, interpretation reliability, and data integration. Additionally, demand for high-quality data has intensified due to new large-scale uses in analytics, business intelligence, data science, and machine learning. However, limited resources make it hard to address these challenges effectively.
This session proposes a collaborative mechanism to prioritize data problems based on users' perspectives. The approach follows a double diamond divergence/convergence framework, with data users collaborating to identify and prioritize data types and their associated issues. The selected high-impact problems are refined using the 5h2w technique, leading to an action plan for data quality improvement.
This innovative approach combines data management with design thinking, representing a pioneering endeavor in the energy industry. The mechanism has already been successfully implemented yielding positive outcomes and earning recognition from the management team.
