IDQ Webinars: with Daragh O Brien

Topic:

Drive IQ Change from the Inside Out

Abstract:

Information Quality is all about change. Organisations need to change how they think about information and how its quality affects them. But triggering that change and sustaining it can be a challenge for even the hardiest Information Quality professional, particularly when budgets are tight. In this webinar Daragh O Brien, drawing on his experiences and practical lessons learned from others, will share some simple principles and practices that can help a fledgling Information Quality leader build a sustainable momentum for change, even before you spend a dollar, euro or zloti on technology.
