Data Governance

in Deming Chain Reaction on lean & six-sigma
I agree, metrics are a huge part of being successful. They've certainly played a role is many of my successes (without metrics, they would never have been noticed)

in Top ten ways to make money out of lean on lean & six-sigma
The ten items make sense. I think they could be applied across many different program and project managers, not just lean. I could definitely apply all of these to Data Governance. In fact, I remember a talk about this recently at a Data Governance Conference.

in Investing in your Business with the Million Dollar Wiki on The Marketing Technology Blog
I followed this over at JohnChow where he very quicly recoupped the cost of his wiki pages purchased (I think it was "make money online").

I'm not sure that the milliondollarwiki is going to get anywhere near the traffic at wikipedia... I'm not sure I'm up for buying the page for $100...

in Build your own Custom Startpage with Google Apps on The Marketing Technology Blog
I'd recommend pageflakes or netvibes to anyone. I use pageflakes to manage multiple email addresses and subscribe to about 30 blogs. It makes it super easy!

in Follow up on Browser Market Share from Colts.com on The Marketing Technology Blog
Thanks for this post! All i've seen to date are stats from technology heavy sites, thus the users are probably more likely to have a high resolution and another browser besides IE. I'd like to see what the avg screen resolution on colts.com is... I really want to get away from desiging for 800x and use 1024x as my baseline

in The Secret of the Software Industry on The Marketing Technology Blog
The overdeveloped concept is so true in Web 2.0 It seems many companies are being created around 1 product that you wouldn't think would be able to sustain an entire company...then, it either gets acquired (which is great for the company) or it fizzles out after minimal adoption.

in Is your Job Working You? How Many Employees? on The Marketing Technology Blog
Great article. I think about this often because I work at a large company, but in my spare time run a small web startup and a few blog. Data Governance is what I do on a daily basis, but I love startups because you get a taste of every part of the business.

in 7 Deadly Sins of Six Sigma on lean & six-sigma
I'm not sure if you've seen this one, but it relates to your item #4 above:
http://blogs.sun.com/dlacher/resource/dilbert20...

Interestingly enough, I posted an article a while back Data Governance projects fail. If you click on my name (Data Governance) above, it'll take you to my listing of 8 reasons why Data Governance fails.

in Plug into 9-sigma on lean & six-sigma
That Vilcus dactyloadapter is very odd indeed. I like the idea of sending my question out to lots of smart people and having them answers. I'm guessing I'd run into two problems:

1. Smart people wouldn't be on a list like this
2. My problems would be so specific that it wouldn't make any sense.

in Summary of the six-sigma IMPROVE stage on lean & six-sigma
Ah yes... the I in DMAIC. So often at my organization they just want the process to be 'I'. They'd rather skip the boring steps of Defining, Measuring, Analyzing, and Controlling. I can understand this tendency, I guess.

in The Lean Office on lean & six-sigma
Japanese words seem to be popular with Six Sigma leaders. Kaizan is one used around here, its a 'pre-green belt' stage, where you have some tools, but not all of them b/c it is only a few days of training.

in How six-sigma changes corporate culture on lean & six-sigma
We've just started Data Governance at our organization and things are certainly changing. There is now more of a focus of finding root cause and getting the process right, I love it.

The field I'm in, Data Governance, is all about getting to the heart of the issue, and I use many DMAIC tools in my day-to-day analysis.

in Can I get my money back, Wikipedia? on The Marketing Technology Blog
I jumped into the blog game fairly recently, when wikipedia had already implemented the nofollow thing, so I missed that boat. I must say though, that I linked to an article on one of my blogs from a wikipedia page and it is still a large contributer of traffic.

Penny Gould OK I am trying to get this follow/no follow concept down, and now I get it! Are you saying you submitted an article to Wiki with your link on it, google won't follow it, but humans will? In an organic sense, that makes sense, in that we want to be valued by humans! They are de-valueing the robots, and elevating the value of humans!

in What’s rel=”nofollow”? on The Marketing Technology Blog
Thanks for this post! I know I'm a little late in finding it, but I just started blogging and am trying to figure out why the heck wordpress is putting nofollow in my links. I'm going to put in dofollow thanks to finding your blog, maybe that will encourage more comments and interaction on my newby blog.

Douglas Karr Hi DG,

I'm not sure how much it actually assists directly with participation. I do think, however, that 'birds of a feather fly together' so you're more apt to connect and participate with other blogs that don't use nofollow. In the long run, I do think there's benefit.

I just like it because I believe that much of my success in blogging has been do to the participation of folks like you in the conversation. Why should I get all the benefit?!

Cheers!
Doug
