Case Study a-2: A.T. Kearney

Final Project: Enterprise Data Management Architecture and Implementation Plan Matthew Brantner Southern New Hampshire University Final Project: Enterprise Data Management Architecture and Implementation Plan Up until this point, Third Star Financial Services has operated via a succession of mergers and acquisitions where systems were inherited but never integrated into the network. Its data management has been virtually non-existent and entirely ineffective. Evidence of this can be found in the absence of an enterprise-wide data management solution and the presence of several disparate systems operating independently with no measurable benefit to the company. Due to a lack of actionable data, management makes decisions based on instinct rather than through analysis. A direct consequence of this is a steadily declining market share and loss of high-level employees to competing companies. Fortunately, this discrepancy has been identified and Third Star executives have established the new goal of modernizing and streamlining operations. Using concepts outlined by the Data Management Association (DAMA), this proposed enterprise architecture will allow Third Star to transform their data from a liability to an asset.

I realized there are several steps an Organization Developer must consider in order for a company to have a successful outcome when they go through a transition. The OD must be able to identify several different components to produce a positive outcome. For instance, the OD must identify what needs to change with the company and communicate the problem in a clear and concise manner. It is also important to put together a team that can help with the process to ensure that everything goes accordingly. Also, if additional training is necessary then that must be factored in for others to understand the different aspects of someone else’s job. Employees must also understand why the change was necessary; therefore, the OD must be the one to convey that message in order for employees to understand the process of reorganizing. Once employees understand why the change is taking place, they must understand the new plans and goals
