Key Challenges and Solutions in Data Management Implementation PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 30-slide Enterprise Data Management and Governance PowerPoint presentation, outlines several significant challenges encountered during data management implementation programs, categorized into 4 primary areas: resistance to implementation, lack of senior buy-in, shortage of data management skills, and readiness on launch day. Each challenge is paired with common underlying causes and proposed mitigation measures.

Resistance to implementation stems from a lack of understanding of the need for data management. Change is often viewed as a zero-sum game, creating winners and losers among stakeholders. To counter this, clear communication is essential. Emphasizing the benefits of enterprise-wide data management and the win-win outcomes can help alleviate concerns.

The lack of senior buy-in or engagement is primarily due to time constraints and a general disinterest in data management. Stakeholders may not fully grasp the importance of these initiatives. Involving senior leaders early in the process and securing their commitment can enhance engagement and support.

A shortage of data management skills presents another hurdle. Many units lack the capacity to dedicate resources to extraordinary projects, particularly in IT and finance. This can be addressed by recruiting additional temporary resources and training existing staff to build necessary skills.

Finally, the issue of 'skeletons in the closet' refers to hidden problems that data management initiatives may uncover, such as quality and process issues. This often leads to delays due to unclear ownership of data governance processes. Preparing contingency plans and engaging a broad range of stakeholders can help identify and resolve potential issues before they escalate.

Understanding these challenges and their solutions is critical for organizations aiming to successfully implement data management programs.
