Ethics, Analytics and the Duty of Care ~ Change Management

Change Management

Existing definitions may become inadequate over time as the types of data available change to become bigger and more complex (Wolff et al. 2016), and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence change how we think of and use data (Statistics Canada, 2020).

Some types of data – master data and reference data – should have tightly controlled sets of valid values. These values appear in thousands and millions of transactions; without change control, different repositories storing master and reference data get out of sync (Data Governance Institute, 2020).
