I'd like to be a.... a dentist??? Nice example of how so many #marketing teams take a shotgun approach. Email is cheap, but the payback is zero if you don't know your #customer / prospect.

More and more #data & #analytics leaders are opting to drop the term"#governance" in favor of value-oriented options (e.g. "enablement", "empowerment", "curation"). Words matter. Principles remain the same, but use language that resonates in your org's culture.

Good discussions w/@Gartner_Inc clients about "certifying" #data sources. But maybe more important is certifying PEOPLE -- on data literacy, understanding, awareness of #governance constraints, etc. Without the right skills, doesn't matter how great your data is. #Analytics

Hello technology vendors, marketing & PR folks, etc. Just a small tip for you. @Gartner is a woman in Switzerland who's into UX design. Maybe she appreciates the visibility, but I think you meant to use @Gartner_Inc when referencing our Magic Quadrants, market share reports, etc.

Talking to a client about #data & #analytics #governance. Me: Where do you think you stand on maturity with this topic today? Client: Does your maturity model have a "sub-zero" level?
