2. 3 Questions
1. If things are not designed to
work together
– What are the chances that these
things will happen to work together?
2. Data – literally the most atomic
element of the collection of
organizational data assets – is
simultaneously the
– most underutilized
– least well managed
What can be done to increase
organizational data leverage?
3. If we have not been teaching
students to design for
integration for the past 30
years, where must we look to
find expertise in these areas?

3. How much Data (by the minute?)
For the entirety of 2020, every
minute of every day:
• Zoom hosted 208,000+
participants
• Netflix streamed 400,000+
hours of video (697,000 in 2019)
• YouTube users uploaded 500
hours of video
• Consumers spent $1M online
($3,805 w/ mobile apps)
• LinkedIn users applied for
69,000+ jobs
• Spotify added 28 songs
• Amazon shipped 6,659
packages

Pre-Information Age Metadata
• Examples of information architecture achievements that happened
well before the information age:
– Page numbering
– Alphabetical order
– Table of contents
– Indexes
– Lexicons
– Maps

4. Remove the structure and things fall apart rapidly

Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
• Data that is better organized increases in value
• Poor data management practices are costing organizations
money/time/effort
• 80% of organizational data is ROT
– Redundant
– Obsolete
– Trivial
• The question is which data to eliminate?
– Most enterprise data is never analyzed

– Data is the new oil!

– Attention on par with similar organizational assets
– Professional ministration to make up for past neglect

Data Properties that should be more widely known
• General low data literacy
exists
– Even among data specialists
• Lots of data exists
– Most of it is not valuable
– The good stuff is uniquely-valuable
– Most of what exists has been
created is relatively recently
• Organizations have not cared
well for data in the past
– Two worlds exist
– Second world
data challenges
https://plusanythingawesome.com
Data Debit – Getting Back to Zero
• Data debit
– The time and effort it will
take to return your data to a
governed state from its
likely current state of
ungoverned.
• Getting back to zero
– Involves undoing existing stuff
– Likely new skills are required
• At zero-must start from scratch
– Typically requires annual proof of
value
• Now you need to get good at
both
– Almost all data challenges involve
interoperability
– Little guidance at optimizing data
management practices
– Very little at getting back to zero

8. What do we teach knowledge workers about data?

What percentage of the deal with it daily?
What do we teach IT professionals about data?

• 1 course
– How to build a
new database
• What
impressions do IT
professionals get
from this
education?
– Data is a technical
skill that is needed
when developing
new databases
9. Confusion
• IT thinks data is a business problem
– "If they can connect to the server, then my job is done!"
• The business thinks IT is managing data adequately
– "Who else would be taking care of it?"

https://plusanythingawesome.com
• Have little idea what data they have
• Do not know where it is (and)
• Do not know what their knowledge workers do with it
https://plusanythingawesome.com
Quality data work products do not happen accidentally!
• Data management happens 'pretty well' at
the workgroup level
– Defining characteristic of a workgroup
– Without guidance, what are the chances that all
workgroups are pulling toward the same objectives?
– Consider the time spent attempting informal practices
• Data chaff becomes sand
– Preventing smooth interoperation and exchanges
– Death by 1,000 cuts that have been difficult to account for
• Organizations and individuals lack
– Knowledge
– Skills
• Data Management (how)
• Data Strategy (why)
– Pain by lots of unnecessary cuts that have been difficult to account for

Data Focus has Greater Potential Business Value
• Broader focus than

architecture
• Analysis scope is
on the system wide
use of data
• Problems caused
by data exchange

problems
• Architectural goals
more strategic than
operational

• Requirement is to "understand"
• Understanding is of both current and future needs
• Making data effective and efficient

30. • A management paradigm that views any
manageable system as being limited in
achieving more of its goals by a small
number of constraints
• There is always at least one constraint, and
TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and
restructure the rest of the organization to address it
• TOC adopts the common idiom "a
chain is no stronger than its weakest
link," processes, organizations, etc.,
are vulnerable because the weakest
component can damage or break
them or at least adversely affect the
outcome

Theory of Constraints - Generic

https://plusanythingawesome.com
Identify the current constraints,
the components of the system
limiting goal realization
Make quick
improvements
to the constraint
using existing
resources
Review other activities in the process facilitate proper alignment and support of constraint
If the constraint
persists, identify other
actions to eliminate
the constraint
Repeat until the
constraint is
eliminated
31. Theory of Constraints at work improving your data
© Copyright 2021 by Peter Aiken Slide # 61
https://plusanythingawesome.com
In your analysis of how
organization data can best
support organizational strategy
one thing is blocking you most -
identify it!
Try to fix it
rapidly with out
restructuring
(correct it
operationally)
Improve existing data evolution activities to ensure singular focus on the current objective
Restructure to
address constraint
Repeat until data better
supports strategy

Interoperability
• This discipline has not had 8,000 years
to formalize practices ➡ GAAP
• Your data is a mess and requires professional
ministration to make up for past neglect
• Your folks don't know how to use or improve it effectively
• You likely require a new business data program
