Starting and evolving a Data Quality Program at University of BC
Data Governance & Information Quality Conference
June 25, 2014
It is a fact that poor quality data is costing large amounts of money to institutions all over the world. Within the fundraising and alumni relations domain this might equate into potentially lost prospects, donors, donations, alumni engagements, and resources needlessly spent on redundant procedures, etc. The University of British Columbia’s (UBC) "Start an Evolution" campaign aims to raise $1.5 billion dollars for students, research and community engagement and to double the number of alumni involved annually in the life of the university by 2015. As such, a Data Quality Program is crucial in supporting this goal. This presentation will show how UBC’s Development and Alumni Portfolio started and evolved a Data Quality Program, its success stories and lessons learned.
You will learn:
Critical steps in developing a Data Quality Program
Adopting a methodology for success
Gaining support and fostering cultural change towards the importance of information quality
Showcasing data quality improvements
