Jeff Wolkove, state data management architect, Arizona

“Policies drive change in state government. Building data management capabilities across more than 100 state agencies is a culture shift that requires a set of DM policies, backed by a widely-recognized framework. We support implementation of the DM policies with training, such as our data stewardship CBT program, which has been completed by nearly 10,000 state employees. We have also performed formal DM capability assessments at six of our largest agencies, providing them with a comprehensive roadmap to achieve their DM goals.”
