Modernizing Data Governance for Utility Companies – February 6 Class
Hello UAI Members,
Many of you have expressed that your organization still struggles with data governance and many of you have come to UAI to ask us to help you with this challenge. We heard you! We now offer a one-day training class called “Modernizing Data Governance for Utility Companies“.
Join us for the next “Modernizing Data Governance for Utility Companies” class taking place February 6, 2023 via virtual classroom. This is a live, instructor-led class that takes place via Teams and includes lecture, collaborative conversation with your peers, and examples from the instructor.
What are others saying about this class?

“We were in the first phase of our Data Governance project when we attended the “Modernizing Data Governance for Utility Companies” training course. We left the course with ideas and perspectives that had us rethinking how to best proceed in our journey toward a successful and sustainable Data Governance program. Pausing to address these issues early on is expected to result in significant time and cost savings and better position us to convert our siloed data into a valuable enterprise asset. And, as always, the conversations with colleagues from other utilities and hearing their challenges, successes, and lessons learned was invaluable.” – Lisa Hansen, Enterprise Business Data Owner – Grant PUD
Pricing for the Class:
- Member Price = $395
- Member Price with Early Bird Discount = $295 (Register before January 16 to get this pricing!)
Class Description:
The Utility Industry is evolving and adapting to new regulations, changes in public perception and emerging market opportunities. Drivers of change include aging infrastructure, opportunities for decarbonization, the need for sustainability, cyber-security and moving towards green energy. Enabling modern data resources and capabilities to assist with these challenges is critical for success.The world of data management also continues to change, but data governance doesn’t always keep pace. New governance practices and organizations are needed to be compatible with agile, big data, cloud, and self-service to support the changing business dynamics. Moving from control to community, from enforcement to prevention, from controls to services, and from committees to communities are at the core of data governance evolution.
Traditional data governance needs to ensure that internal data literacy and strategies continue to be aligned with the evolving business goals. It also needs to adapt to the realities of today’s data management practices. We need to start with the ABCs of modern governance — Agile, Big Data, and Cloud. Each of these has been in the mainstream for several years, yet most data governance organizations cling to practices of the past. More recently, self-service analytics and self-service data preparation have challenged the old governance methods.
Traditional data governance focuses on enforcement of policies and rules using rigorous controls and gates. While controls and enforcement continue to be needed, they must be complemented with support for the autonomy and agility of the self-service world. Enforcement works together with prevention. Guides and guardrails reduce the need for gates. The need to exercise controls is minimized when curating, coaching, crowdsourcing, and collaboration are integral parts of governance processes. In the modern data world, every data stakeholder plays a part in data governance.
You Will Learn:- Where governance fits within modern data ecosystems in the Utility Industry
- Process challenges for supplementing controls with collaboration and crowdsourcing
- Organizational challenges for moving from data stewards to stewardship, curation, and coaching
- Operational challenges for implementing a combination of gates, guardrails, and guides
- Why data ethics is a data governance challenge and how to begin tackling the issue
- Why you need to transition from traditional data stewards to stewardship, curation and coaching
- How to use a data governance framework plan for data governance modernization and evolution
Geared to:
- Data governance professionals of all types
- Data stewards and data curators
- Business and technical leaders implementing and managing self-service data and analytics
- Business and technical leaders who see current data governance practices as barriers to agility
- Chief Data Officers and other executives responsible to shape data culture
- Everyone with a role in modernizing data governance or an interest to know how and why data governance must change

I hope to see you in class soon!
Cheers!

Hi Leslie –
CPS Energy is not required to complete a 300 log therefore should the data be for CY2022?
Please advise.
Thank you!

Subject: 2023 Safety Analytics Benchmarking Project – Get Involved!Hello UAI Members,
We launched a NEW Safety Analytics Benchmarking Project. Read more details about it below. We are excited to get all utility safety professionals involved…not just utility analytics safety professionals…ALL safety professionals! If you are not the right person within your utility to get involved, please forward this to the correct person. You can have them reach out to me, @Leslie, at lcook@utilityanalytics.com if they are not currently involved in UAI… I’ll work to get them set-up and answer any questions. Thanks!
- Benchmarking project is being led by the Safety Analytics Community Leadership Team (UAI Utility Members)
- What is the problem we are trying to solve?
- Recordable incident rate (RIR) is easy to track, but it has flaws. We are looking for a better alternative to help track Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) and/or PSIF (Potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities). We want to find a better way to measure safety performance that is a better indicator of SIF and PSIF.
- We think the alternative is the EEI SCL definition, but we want to explore options with the members of the Safety Analytics Community.
- We want to have uniformity across our utilities, so we are measuring the same things in the same ways, and we want to do this through a dialogue with the UAI Safety Analytics Community members.
- Take the poll by January 31, 2023!
- Before taking the poll, review it with your team via the PDF document attached. This will help you understand what you need to collect for the poll before taking it.
- Direct link to poll: https://www.menti.com/alrvcrrb93ha, or
- Go to http://www.Menti.com and use code 3686 7286
- We will review results of the poll during our February and March 2023 Safety Analytics Community Conversations
- Not part of the UAI Safety Analytics Community? Request to join at https://uaievents.wufoo.com/forms/request-to-join-uai-communities/
- To help you complete the poll, collect the following data before starting the poll. All of the below info is available on the OSHA 300A log.
- Number of Recordable Injuries
- Number of DART Injuries
- Total Work Hours
- Total Number of DART Days
- The OSHA 300A log must be filed yearly for the previous year by February 1. An OSHA 300A is normally done for a specific location. Enterprises with multiple locations will have multiple 300A forms. Many enterprises combine all of their location data into a single 300A. This document will cover the entire enterprise and will contain all of the necessary data.
- Next steps after this poll:
- Review the results during the February and March Safety Analytics Community Conversations.
- Identify the top 3-5 safety metrics used, in addition to RIR, and capture members’ results for 2022 to benchmark.
- Work together to identify a better alternative than RIR to track Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) and/or Potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities (PSIF).
- Once a better alternative metric to RIR is identified, capture members’ results annually to benchmark (annually on February 1).
If you have any questions about the project, please reach out to me, @Leslie, at lcook@utilityanalytics.com.
Thanks so much!
Leslie
