Communities of Practice
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group with shared concerns, problems, or an interest in a topic who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals. Communities of Practice can be a mechanism to facilitate change as well as a knowledge management strategy. Data Governance CoPs are intended to be a network to connect individuals engaged in data management, and reporting across the university, to help drive awareness of the process, tools, and services centrally offered, and to engage in leading practices and governance. The CoP will help build and enable data literacy at the University, increasing the University's ability to execute on data management and self-serve reporting.
Data Communities
Organization of UBC's data landscape into various data communities creates an integrated and collaborative process by allowing all stakeholders with vested interests in a common set of data elements to come together for decision making.
Together, all the data communities represent UBC's various functions and corresponding enterprise data elements that are in scope of Data Governance.
