Data Governance: In Practice and over Time
A detailed and interesting loook at International Finance Corporation's strategic data quality project. Highly recommended. From the Resource: "Four years from identifying the problem to implementing the solution. Nothing was more central to IFC's data quality and data management program than consistently defining and reporting IFC's investment product line consistently - talk about 'mission critical data'! Integrating our IT systems demanded it, financial and management reporting demanded it, risk management and treasury functions relied on it, and Senior Management decision making and performance assessment was largely based on this strategic data set. Nearly every support department was involved and one of our Chief Counsels personally reviewed and edited each of the more than 250 definitions."

Cross-Department Solving of Data Quality Weaknesses
A rich, detailed look into how a quality management process is modeled and used in an international wholesale bank with branches, business units and subsidiaries all over the world. This lengthy Resource contains examples, scenarios, application samples and a detailed methodology review. From the Resource: "The Bank has set up a global IT and communication network in order to comply with the requirements resulting from its global presence. Managing the data and information flows of the heterogeneous systems and process landscapes involved is a challenging task. High data quality provides the basis for correct decisions and adequate risk management."
