Pat O’Sullivan starts from the premise that the principles of standardization and conformity that were developed for the data warehouse are equally applicable to a digital business to deliver a consistent view of information to many lines of business. He explores the characteristics of a system of common metadata that can define the links between an existing data warehouse and an emerging digital business, describing the components and characteristics of this new metadata layer and how it is essential to fueling the growth of the AI capabilities of a digital business.

In the end, the success or failure of your implementation of Agile data warehousing at scale starts and ends with your leadership. Leaders with a unquenchable thirst for knowledge combined with a kaizen mindset have a distinct advantage when it comes to putting theory into practice. As a leader, you must carve time out of your hectic schedule to learn about both the methodologies you aspire to use and the system in which your organization operates. Not a client?

Collaborating on work across distances has always been difficult. We fly groups together to work temporarily as a single team on a critical project issue. We have regularly scheduled conference calls; we have videoconferencing rooms. We rely deeply on e-mail to stay in step. We try to build single Web-based repositories of project knowledge that are accessible throughout an organization. It has all been a struggle. Distance is misunderstanding. Distance is wrong interfaces. Distance is friction. But now we are witnessing the positive effects of distance beginning to shrink. The next generation of collaboration tools is here, or at least the early arrivals are here. Broadband access is the underlying technology for all these tools. The videoconference room is dead, and collaboration is moving out of meetings and into its most useful place: the daily lives of project members.

Yesha Sivan and Yonatan Rabinovitch discuss how to manage “black swans” crises with what they propose as the Three New Normals (3NN) framework.
