CDO Matters Ep. 02 | Strategies & Tactics for a Successful MDM Implementation with Tobias Macey

In this episode of CDO Matters, Malcolm is a guest on the Data Engineering Podcast with Tobias Macey. This episode is a great fit for any non-technical data leader who is looking to gain a deeper understanding of some of the technical dependencies and concepts required for successful master data management (MDM) and data governance — but without getting too deep into jargon or software engineering concepts. If you’re a business-centric CDO with limited technical experience or background, this podcast will help you to build your data literacy and allow you to have deeper and more compelling conversations with your technical staff — and it will help you make more informed technology-centric decisions. Malcolm and Tobias cover some of the technical concepts involved in MDM and governance programs — in both relatable and understandable terms — including: • MDM systems architecture and typical implementation patterns • The connection between MDM, data engineering and systems architecture • Data modeling for MDM and data governance • The processes used in MDM platforms to support data quality requirements • Entity resolution, i.e., matching or deduplication • MDM team dynamics and roles, the role of data stewardship. After listening to this podcast, any data leaders who may be new to the concepts of MDM or data governance will why their organizations need these foundational elements and better understand how they can be used to drive business benefit.
