What is needed to
implement the strategy?
1.CoE
2.Playbook

29
The CoE
Competency or capability center run by a group of multiple disciplines experts,
to help a company to adopt new tech & processes faster and reach goals
efficiently
CoE is an adhoc group of experts; they work in
projects but give part-time in order to establish
organizational excellence:
• best practices,
• leadership,
• research,
• training,
• support for a subject area.
Not a physical center/ Not a business
department

Literacy
Improve data literacy on all
levels of the organization
Standards
Best practices and
methodologies
Architecture
Standardize and organize the data
architecture to align with business goals

Current situation

is centralized (=monolithic)

Problems with traditional data architecture:

This created a disconnect

54
And then, one day, software people looked at data people
And said “Hey, you’re doing this all wrong!”

55
Data Mesh: A Paradigm Shift
P

56
Data Mesh Principles
1. Domain-oriented decentralized data ownership and architecture. Driven
by microservices, it provides more flexibility, is easier to scale, easier to
work on in parallel and allows for the reuse of functionality
2. Data as a product where data products comprised of clean, fresh,
analytics-ready data – are delivered to any consumer, anytime, anywhere,
based on permissions & roles
3. Self-serve data infrastructure as a platform that enables the businesses
use to run, maintain and monitor their services
4. Federated computational governance that set rules and regulations to
govern the data mesh operation

57
DATA MESH MOST DISRUPTIVE PARADIGM SHIFT:
Business departments should be able to access and control
their own data and analytics

DATA

58
Data Mesh open questions:
How will this “federated governance” model
work?
What will happen to the “single version of the
truth”?
Will CDOs embrace this change or resist it?
