IAIDQ General Meeting write up
Monday evening saw the IAIDQ have its Association General Meeting at IDQ2008. We filled Salon B here in the Marriot Riverwalk as Daragh O Brien warmed up the crowd with an introduction to the IAIDQ, or (if you were already a member) a reminder about the Association.
IAIDQ Coffee mugs were handed out, as were IAIDQ badges in keeping with the jovial theme of Daragh’s presentation.
Daragh was followed by Christian Walenta who delivered a thought provoking keynote message for Information Quality professionals.
Because Daragh and Christian covered a lot of stuff, we’ve produced a handout for people to read the themes and topics covered. Handout document.
Daragh and Christian’s presentations were followed by a call to action to get involved in working teams for Publicity and for the IQForum discussion list. This drew an immediate response from members from Australia (not Grant) and Canada who were eager to help out.
Finally, Andrew Griffiths (IAIDQ VP Partner Relations) shared his thoughts with us on defining the value proposition for Information Quality and for the IAIDQ. This is something we are working on and look forward to talking to members, non-members, suppliers, and potential sponsors about over the coming weeks and months. Indeed, this is an on-going process as we will need to continually improve our understanding of our value and the value of information quality.
