| The human brain will adapt to whatever environment in which it is placed; the cyber world of the 21st Century constitutes a totally new type of environment; the brain could therefore be changing in parallel, in correspondingly totally new ways. In particular, we need to devise new strategies for optimizing how we handle the increasing and unprecedented information load. We need first to establish a means for identifying salient facts from the extraneous; second, establish a conceptual framework within which this information can have wider significance, i.e. be converted into deeper knowledge; thirdly agree on a means for sharing this conceptual framework so that it can serve as a collective base for effective communication. |
Thursday

• What aspects of MDM can be reused beyond MDM?
• How are organizations looking to build on MDM with broader information governance programs?
• How can you develop your own EIM road map spanning master data and the information continuum?

| Vendors offer up different ways to create the master data model at the center of your MDM program. But which approaches are most appropriate? Working alongside peers, MDM practitioners will assess the various challenges and opportunities inherent in different approaches to modeling master data, and identify which are best for their organization. |
Friday
12:00 - 13:00 | |

• What are the trends and best practices in mastering customer data?
• What are the trends and best practices in mastering product data?
• What is the maturity of multidomain MDM capabilities, and how will that evolve? |
