Being an Information Architect
I've got a new job, Global Data Architect and the nice thing is that I can define the job from scratch. So that means I will spend a bit less time on management of people & money (the joys of HR and Finance always overtake the content of somebody's job in the middle ranks) and a bit more data management content. It is another way of putting in practice what I have been preaching.So what do I plan as my new activities?
- Educating others on the main principles of Data Management - I already wrote about this http://infomgr.blogspot.com/2007/06/data-management-fundamentals.html
- Defining and promoting Standards - http://infomgr.blogspot.com/2007/06/limits-of-freedom-manage-your-data.html
- Defining how much Middleware we need as glue in between our emerging standard data stores - http://infomgr.blogspot.com/2007/06/middleware.html
- But most of all I will focus on Change Management, aligning people toward our common goal of a seamless digital company - http://infomgr.blogspot.com/2007/05/art-of-im.html
What I won't do is focusing on building the perfect data model, like the Oil Industry tried with Epicenter (see http://posc.org/ - the good thing is that also these guys have rebranded themselves into Energistics and now focus on standards - so I am sure there will be synergies!).
I also will not rename this blog ;-)
