Organizations strive to become more data-driven to better understand their customers and to accurately set their strategies and activities based on facts rather than intuition and gut feeling. The challenge to adopting a data-driven approach is that organizations’ information, technology, risk, and regulatory landscape is more complex than ever before. Therefore, the need for qualified Data Management professionals to provide direction, implementation, and support for the data-driven organization has never been greater.
First-hand experiences and insights are also shared by the instructor, who has over 40 years of practice in many technical and management roles within small and large organizations across multiple industries and sectors.

Complete All Seven BCDM Courses
1. BCDM1: The Data Management Ecosystem
required
In this course, instructor Frank Cerwin provides a comprehensive and essential understanding of the enterprise data ecosystem that gives insights into current Data Management role alignment and future career opportunities. Data has great value to organizations for effective and efficient decision-making and business processes. However, managing the complexity of the data landscape presents a major challenge – more data of different types and levels of sensitivity is being created, used, and retained at a faster rate than ever before. Compounding these challenges is the realization that the quality of the organization’s data is not acceptable for many of the current and new business processes and decisions to which it is to be applied. Additionally, an organization’s data presents inherent risks since its data also has value to competitors and hackers who can illicitly benefit from it.
View Details2. BCDM2: Data Management Careers
required
In this course, instructor Frank Cerwin presents Data Management roles, and the associated skills, knowledge, and experience that will increase the likelihood of success. Since data is pervasive across the enterprise, managing it effectively requires a unique set of capabilities and experience across multiple roles. Roles can span a wide range from entry-level positions to chief data officer (CDO). Essential Data Management responsibilities encompassed in these roles are required even if consolidated into a few positions within the organization or outsourced.
View Details3. BCDM3: Building Competencies for Data Management Professionals
required
Regardless of the role, there are core competencies and traits that can exponentially increase the odds of success and career advancement.

View Details5. BCDM5: Becoming a Data Champion
required
Everyone wants their activities and contributions to be recognized to some degree. Even the most modest individual wants to feel appreciated for their efforts. Working in a support role, the data professional may not feel their effort and contribution are as recognized as much as other roles that participated on the project. In this course, instructor Frank Cerwin helps learners discover the means to be seen as a data champion and achieve a more prominent status and level of recognition.
View Details6. BCDM6: Enhancing Your Skills to Achieve Executive Buy-In
required
Your best ideas, strategies, and requests go nowhere without the acceptance and approval of leadership. Most often, you also need buy-in from peers and subordinates. This is true for Data Architecture enhancements, tool procurement, and changes to existing processes and procedures. You must continually sell your new initiatives, proposed organization changes, and budget requests. There may also be times that you must convince leadership to maintain your current role or services. In this course, instructor Frank Cerwin provides approaches and methods to effectively sell your proposals and requests.
View Details7. BCDM7: Building a Data Management Career Roadmap
