“Bravo ! About time the data industry had an adult voice. I thought I was back in the 1980’s ! The Big Data failures are testimony that the data industry is shipwrecked without this overarching idea. Looking forward to participating in this conversation, and confident these ideas will find the language, branding and the channels to go viral, and get a legitimate seat at the table with contemporary manifesto concepts like “App”, “Cloud”, “Mobile” and “Agile”.”

Axel Troike, President at Grandite
“Finance, Human Resources and Data are the three essential business resources that any organization has always been built on, independent of its size or industry, regardless of whether it operates locally or globally or whether its products / services are tangible or not.
The ultimate target of a business is to turn these resources into assets which implies that they are governed to increase revenue, to lower costs and to minimize risks, all in alignment with the organization’s mission and goals as well as with the legal and regulatory requirements for the respective industry.
As the CEO is responsible to the Board to accomplish business targets, s/he has to exercise Data Leadership and ensure that a Chief Data Officer is appointed to take business responsibility for Data like the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer already do for their respective resource realm.”
Don Carlson, Process Design Executive, “Make proactive and sustainable data management part of your processes!”

“Working over the last 20 years in DW, Analytics and more recently Big Data Market, I am immensely happy with an initiative like DATA MANIFESTO brings.
The market needs trusted advisors as Data Manifesto offers that can show to corporate governance to the need to treat one of the largest assets of any company has, its data. Cycles of technological innovation repeat themselves and lately being accelerated; actions like care, detail and value perception of data that each company has, usually are in the background or do not enter at the success track of digital projects.
As a teacher in Big Data at one of the most respected engineering schools in Brazil, I will be flattered to be part of this group that I consider capable of pointing to the market success paths using analytics and the appropriate use of data.”

” I have been active in Information Governance for over 20 years and have designed and implemented various models over during that time. I have settled on one model now that truly supports data as an asset and more importantly information as an asset. While most believe that Data Governance is key to the organization looking at from the information generated, how that information is generated, who uses it and how information is governed is the driving force for what I do for Equifax Workforce Solutions. Information Governance defines information asset management with three disciplines; Business Information Discipline, Technology Discipline and Information Asset Discipline. These discipline make up the foundation of the model that is being implemented and executed for Equifax Workforce Solutions.’

Madani Basha, Data Quality Manager
“A great initiative. We are already into a data intensive era, and rate of intensity is all set to explode. So the topic is very timely.
I was very impressed with the Business Rules Manifesto. I was pre-conditioned to see something similar (a list of crisp declarations applicable to the topic). However the manifesto as it stands is more for “Drive a change for data” than “This is what / how data ought to be”.
For example, I would like see in the “Data Manifesto” somethings like:
“D01 Data is an asset and requires effective governance”
“D02 Data is a business responsibility”
“D03 Every data record must have at least one business key”.
Each decree in the manifesto then needs to be expounded.
For example, D01 lays down the responsibility for ownership, acquisition, usage control and disposition.
And D02 lays down the responsibility with business for creating and maintaining a conceptual model of the data, business meaning of the data.
D03 stipulates that every record (or table) must have a clear meaning. And this will happen when business keys are made explicit. Business key makes it easy to articulate what each row in a table represents. Difficulty in expressing the business key is a sure sign that there are disparate sub-sets of data. In such a case each sub-set should be subject to the “must have business key” principle.
Good luck with the initiative. Happy to contribute by way of discussion – by email, due to time zone.
Regards. – Madani Basha (Sydney, Australia)

“The need to see the data in a new way, as an investment and no longer as an expense, is imperative. In the Brazilian federal government this change is happening to generate an integrated vision that allows greater agility in the processes of service, reduction of fraud and greater agility in the offer of products and services.”
Kate Walker, CEO, “Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia (RIMPA) support this movement and we hope that it stimulates debate and raises awareness.”
David Pryde, Director & RIM Consultant, ” I like that it is a call to action to take responsibility for driving an information governance model that recognises the value and potential of our information assets. Stop treating them as an overhead and grow from the decision.”
