Leading an enterprise-wide data quality management program is no easy task. Program managers must have a unique combination of skills to successfully implement and manage data quality initiatives. Data quality program managers need to be able to work well with both business and IT staff. They must be able to effectively lead their organizations through decisions about people, business processes and technology -- which all have the potential to create, exacerbate or mitigate data quality management problems.
