About the Webinar

Data design needs to step up to new challenges. For one thing, traditional techniques are disconnected from unstructured data. For another, they fall short in addressing fundamental communication challenges. The issue nagging at many professionals is how to get at the deep knowledge in business people’s heads, disambiguate it, and lay it out for validation and reference.

Effective data access and design depend on business knowledge, which is more complicated – far richer – than most realize. It requires a blueprint and a robust business vocabulary. Concept models provide the answer. They are leading the way in addressing a host of digital-era-problems, all the way from eliminating silos to machine learning.

Find out how to equip yourself for effective data design and for the business communication on which it depends.

Learning Objectives:

  • What goes into creating a concept model
  • How to create a robust, world-class business glossary
  • How to use a language-based approach to avoid common pitfalls in data design
  • Why ambiguities arise in business communication and how they are resolved
  • How to achieve clarity and precision in knowledge transfer

This webinar is based on the author’s new book: Business Knowledge Blueprints
