Your Big Project – Series 1 Episode 8 – Data

Welcome to data, talk eight in the series ‘Your Big Project‘. Hopefully this series of podcasts will improve the chances of success for your project. We always consider the good, the bad and the extremely ugly!

I talk about the need to take every opportunity to improve data quality. The improvement work should have started as part of the Best Practice programme. Improving quality at that stage means you will have a sound basis for your system!

Bad data:

  • Reduces the value of your organisation in the eyes of its customers
  • Disheartens your team
  • Is environmentally incorrect – think of the wasted mail shots!
  • Kills projects – dead
  • In some cases you may end up in court – think GDPR.

I talk about the importance of understanding data fields and improvement benefits.

The talk is based on the experience I have gained through my involvement in a number of systems projects. I hope that you find it useful.

I hope that you gain ideas from the successes and failures of others and that you have a life changing success.
