Welcome back to Intellicast! In today's episode, Brian Peterson is joined by EMI's Mary Draper and Karine Pepin, co-founder of The Research Heads, to give another talk about data quality. The focus of the conversation came from a recent LinkedIn post from Karine that started a lengthy debate in the comment section – specifically questioning the Quality Pledge that some organizations have signed. The questions included: Why is a corporation leading this effort rather than GDQ, CASE4Quality, or industry associations? How are "indicators" of quality defined? Are indicators measured pre or post-survey? Will suppliers be audited to ensure compliance? What does "sharing bad practices" entail, and with whom are they shared? I counted 27 signatories. With so many open questions, what exactly are they committing to? Brian starts the episode by getting Mary and Karine's perspectives on the pledge. Karine talks about her reaction when she found out about it, especially since she is part of the Global Data Quality
