Well that was a nice ‘break’. I enjoyed 2 weeks with family, good books, and rest. I hope you did too. I reacquainted myself with Agatha Christie, and also took in some David Glantz. I’ll let you know what I thought with my book reviews shortly. The year has started off with a bang. Overall [...]

We have a great set of materials for this year. Some “classic” foundational stuff (such as the 7 Building Blocks), but some new workshop materials focused on “building the [...]

The highlight for me was the Gartner MDM Excellence Award, of course. On Tuesday Asian Paints, Johnson and Johnson Health Care Systems, and State Street bank presented their MDM journeys to the audience.

The second day of our MDM Summit carried on as day 1 had ended – lots of great user interaction. Another fruitful dialog led me to think about another aspect of MDM that has not been that widely talked about, that being business rules and the management of business rules.

We had a great first day! The attendance at the event was very good indeed; the opening session was packed.
