T19: Future-Proof Your Data Catalog with Enterprise Adoption

Tuesday, April 20, 2021
11:30 AM - 02:30 PM
Intermediate

Perhaps you’ve purchased and “stood up” a new data catalog tool. Congratulations! Now what?

Like any technology, your data catalog is only as good as its users — or its usability. To derive full value out of your metadata management tool, your organization needs to be prepared to champion change, collaborative adoption, and user enablement. While the tool itself is powerful, its real value is actualized when people choose to use it to do their work more efficiently and effectively. This choice is adoption, and adoption happens one person at a time.

Attendees will learn enterprise adoption tips and best practices for embedding a data catalog into “business-as-usual” processes and creating a sustainable need by:

  • Focusing on the value use case
  • Engaging the right people at the right time
  • Aligning technology adoption with change management
  • Building momentum through small wins and user stories (communicate early and often!)
  • Making training meaningful and accessible
  • Measuring impact and progress
  • Planning for and managing resistance
