Melbourne – Investment-Grade Data: A Strategic approach to managing your most critical asset

In today’s asset-intensive industries, data isn’t just a byproduct of operations – it is a strategic asset in itself. How do we determine what data is important and how do we manage to support the decisions we are making?

Join Michael Mowat as he presents an approach for treating data as an asset to drive defensible investment planning. This moves beyond simple data clean-up, establishing a direct link between the quality and confidence of your data and your ability to model future performance, cost, and risk.

Drawing from his experience leading data strategy across multi-billion-dollar infrastructure portfolios, Michael will discuss a practical approach to:

• Establish data requirements : Document what data may be required to support the decision you are trying to make
• Build data governance: Define the quality rules, standards, and custodianship necessary to protect and enhance your data’s value.
• Build your scenarios: Use high-confidence data to clearly forecast costs and performance.
• Justify major investment with confidence: Build transparent, evidence-based business cases that stakeholders can trust.

This session is for leaders who want to transform their organisation’s data from a poorly understood and managed resource into an active, high-value asset that underpins strategic decisions.
