Very, very busy day but somehow the energy levels keep on coming.  The questions keep on coming too – and that is what seems to excite and generate adrenalin.  Another great day.  Main take away, after speaking to numerous large and midsize organizations:

• Though the concept of Master Data Management might arguably be generally understood by some (even in a company), it is NOT well understood widely, nor is the actual practice that mature!
•  The vast majority of firms – over the three days – are not doing Enterprise Information Management.  I would say that many companies have good examples of pockets of information management goodness, but very few are mature or even half mature with EIM
• Underlying most inquiries were two themes for the week: how to relate or increase business value from an information asset; how to deliver compounded increase in information yield.

Here is an updated meta tag report for the 1-1s to Wednesday evening:

•  Getting started with Master Data Management/Information Governance/MDM Strategy 17 (54%)
• How to actually implement information governance in the business/emergence of information stewardship applications/master data and/or content or big data 12 (38%)
• Defining information governance/13 minutes a week of work; what your data stewards should be doing 8 (25%)
• Enterprise Metadata Management/evolving from MDM towards EIM/content governance 6 (19%)

On to Thursday – 1-1’s schedule even after the final presentation!  Awesome.
