Course Overview

Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in data cleaning and preparation whether or not anyone says so. The documentation for cleaning and preparation is accurate only until the next release. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the technology and systems delivery capability rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better data cleaning and preparation is rarely technical. The version of this area of technology and systems delivery described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with cleaning and preparation. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about data cleaning and preparation under scrutiny. The course covers cleaning and preparation at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the technology and systems delivery capability rather than a set of notes.
