At Aviv Group we have decided to tackle the harmonization of data and favor Metadata management and Data modeling applied to business objects at the heart of the activity, real estate at first.
A journey with very unexpected consequences, punctuated by successes and lessons learned, led by experts determined to do battle with disciplines, methods and tools that were unfamiliar to them. These same experts who have taken on the roles of Data architect, Domain data steward, Data quality analyst, Technical data steward, Enterprise data steward, Data modeler; so many roles that do not often find actors.

Governance in place, the only artefact that can
harmonize Business expectations and Data
Exploitation and Management expertises.
4. Two challenges
Having so many entities raises different issues
such as :
- Complexity in defining at Group level
responsibilities, roles and rules (People)
- Need for a common language enabling an
unified communication between all the
stakeholders.
Who and How to define a
property?
Vocabulary errors frequently generate behavior errors
...
Behavior errors frequently generate bad data
...
Bad data frequently generate wrong decisions

11. Again, let’s start with Data challenges
11
Challenges
● DG & DM are all new, I
don’t get it !
● Are my data reliable ?
● How do we harmonize
those initiatives and
synchronize everyone ?
● What is my single source of
truth (SSOT) ?
● Lack of strong executive
sponsorship
● We do not realize how
interconnected are our
systems/models
Data requirements Solutions
● We would like to align at
company level on definitions,
rules, … rather than each one in
its own corner
● We need to go faster when we
need to make use of data (such
as a report)
● We need data to be more
trustworthy
● We want a single operating
model reusable any time
● Formalize the business
case and value
proposition before all
● Sponsorship must come
from Business
● Training for all
● Use adapted tools and
processes
● Clear Bodies, Roles and
Responsibilities must be
defined (Owner,
Steward, Council)
● Break down the Board
door !

Two main roles, Data Owner and Steward ?
Main because they are still new and emerging.
Roles and functions are numerous from Tech,
Biz and Data.
The question is about the Where actually.,
Data Domains.
A high-level category of corporate data for the purpose of assigning accountability and
responsibility over their definition, rules for usage and systems implementation.
A set of data products that represent the authoritative source of truth and boundary of
ownership.
16. ● Data Governance is not governing data
but behaviors (everybody is concerned)
● Identify your Data Products
● Identify your Data Domains

Key Take-aways
● Data Governance is a business case ! Have
Business speak up !
● Then appoint Data Ownership from
Business
17. There are many men who play a role
without knowing it.
There are many roles that have no
actors.
