This intensive workshop on data quality management is designed to give participants capability and skills to understand and solve data quality problems, and to deliver the benefits of improved data quality. Based on the research findings and experiences with leading organizations conducted by the TDQM program at MIT and CITM Center at Berkeley, you will be exposed to the state-of-the-art research and practice in the data quality field. You will develop an understanding of the characteristics of information product. You will apply the principles of managing information as a product to your organization. Additionally, you will learn the principles that lead to a continuous improvement cycle for data quality, to develop data quality metrics, and to conduct data quality audit. Participants who wish to gain a deeper, hands-on experience on data quality tools are required to bring their laptop with MS NT or Windows 98/2000 to the workshop.

This workshop is designed for, but not limited to, senior executives, line managers, corporate planning and policy analysts, data quality managers, quality assurance managers, data warehouse managers, and data administrators. It is also well suited for scholars who wish to gain an in-depth understanding of the leading research in this field.
