Government is awash in data with the global pandemic doing little to slow its growth. As agencies return to normalcy, their data officers are dealing with how to effectively ingest and route their troves of data into a platform where it can be leveraged as a strategic asset. Harnessing “data-in-motion” is the first step to unlocking the full value data offers and achieving agency milestones.

Our experts will discuss:

• The need for data officers to adopt strong security and governance processes
• The long-term impact of the Federal Data Strategy and the State Department’s Enterprise Data Strategy
• Best practices in dealing with the administration’s zero-trust mandate and its role in data flow
• How innovative technologies such as AI and Machine Learning can be leveraged to modernize government data architectures

Data-driven organizations of all sorts have come to realize the criticality of data to their mission in recent years. But what next? How mature is data science and our data management processes? This talk will describe what we want to do, what we’ve done, what we still need to do, and how to do it. Next-generation data management is how to do it. It begins by understanding the five things that determine all strategies and the four levels of knowing. From there it progresses to data user models, effectiveness goal metrics, and system and database design. Governance and how to build a data management team will also be discussed.
