Course Overview
Most organisations now hold more data about metadata management than they can actually act on. The distance between a working prototype of this aspect of digital and data-driven work and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. Organisations that document the practice within digital and data-driven work properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It is written for people who have to make metadata management work with the resources they already have. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this strand of digital and data-driven work and supervised application. The programme takes participants through the digital and data-driven work discipline end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. They leave able to brief senior management on metadata management in terms that support a decision. Improvement in this aspect of digital and data-driven work stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme closes with an action plan for the digital and data-driven work discipline that each participant writes for their own organisation.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Assign clear ownership for each element of metadata management across the functions involved.
Recognise early indicators that metadata management is drifting away from its intended design.
Compare the organisation's handling of metadata management with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.
Quantify the running cost of metadata management — compute, licensing, and the people who keep it alive.
Establish monitoring that detects model or service degradation in metadata management before users report it.
Prepare the human side of metadata management: who is retrained, who is redeployed, and when they are told.
Who Should Attend
Product owners prioritising the roadmap for metadata management.
Anyone whose accountability for metadata management exceeds their current formal training in it.
Operations managers whose processes are changed by metadata management.
Technology and digital transformation managers leading metadata management.
Data and analytics leads responsible for the pipelines behind metadata management.
Technical staff being prepared for supervisory responsibility over metadata management.

Metadata management: measuring benefit and retiring what it replaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The pilot that actually settles the argument about metadata management
- Set out the decisions in metadata management that require sign-off and by whom.
- Define the service level metadata management must meet and what happens when it is missed.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for metadata management.
- Classify the data in metadata management and apply access controls that match the classification.
Session 2Reading the true cost of running metadata management
- Agree the indicators that will show whether metadata management is improving.
- Remove steps in metadata management that add effort without adding assurance.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to metadata management will be introduced.
- Establish the boundary of metadata management and record what sits outside it.
Metadata management: people, skills and the change that follows
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Comparing metadata management with recognised practice
- Assess the regulatory obligations metadata management triggers in each jurisdiction.
- Measure the current quality of the data feeding metadata management before assuming it is usable.
- Verify that metadata management still performs when input volume doubles unexpectedly.
- Identify the skills the team lacks to operate metadata management independently.
Session 2Choosing a supplier for metadata management without being captured
- Map the handovers in metadata management between functions and secure them.
- Define the exit route from the supplier supporting metadata management.
- Estimate compute and licensing cost for metadata management at expected and at peak load.
- Decide which legacy process metadata management retires, and set the date.
Metadata management: security, privacy and regulatory obligation
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who owns metadata management once the project team disbands
- Record the reasoning behind each architectural choice in metadata management.
- Confirm that reporting on metadata management reaches the people who can act.
- List the data sources metadata management consumes and confirm each has a named owner.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when metadata management underperforms.
Session 2Escalation and decision rights in metadata management
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in metadata management.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to metadata management.

Metadata management: vendor selection and avoiding lock-in
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The decisions in metadata management that cannot be delegated
- Define the trigger that would require metadata management to be redesigned.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on metadata management.
- Close out actions on metadata management rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Agree who is on call for metadata management outside working hours.
Session 2Making metadata management secure without making it unusable
- Set the metrics that will show whether metadata management is drifting from its intended behaviour.
- Plan how metadata management is versioned and how a bad release is rolled back.
- Build the competence framework that supports metadata management.
- Test metadata management against edge cases drawn from real historical records.
