14:10 CDO Panel Discussion | Leveraging the Investments in Data Management to Drive Value Beyond Reporting

The vast majority of CDOs and Heads of Data Management must demonstrate the value of data governance within 12-18 months of developing a program. Within the biggest banks, regulatory pressure is driving immense investments in data management capabilities, but what are the next opportunities beyond reporting? How can you leverage what you’ve built to drive value beyond regulatory compliance?
Leading data executives will discuss:
• How value is being demonstrated to the firm
• How decisions are being made around the onboarding of new technology and systems
• Approaches being taken in the shift for more dynamic data and leading indicators
• Ways that data is providing insight into new opportunities

17:10 Panel Discussion | The Best Practices of Data Management – Progress and Next Steps

The financial crisis brought awareness of data management to financial firms and regulatory bodies alike. New initiatives stemming from Dodd-Frank and BCBS 239 mobilized many firms to focus on best practices to try to “get their data management house in order”. Good progress has been made, but a lot of work still remains.

In this session, panelists will discuss the progress achieved, and the next steps that the industry is heading towards. Hear practitioners discuss their use of industry best-practice models, describe their experiences using the newly evolving data ontology standards, and get a glimpse into the next areas of regulatory focus. Hear how the industry is gathering together to dive into the defined data management capabilities to create a repository of playbooks – describing the “how” of data management, in a continuing effort to document and improve data management for the industry.
