Wed, Jul 2, 2025, 2:00 PM UTCData Engine Thinking - Dirk Lerner
Link visible for attendees
Data is evidence on past activity, events that are frozen in time for us to uncover and analyze. Without understanding the context of how it is created, data is simply 'stuff'.

Data Engine Thinking covers the end-to-end methodology to deliver a data solution that is truly designed to adapt to progressive understanding - and ultimately meet the business' needs.

Design and implement a solution that is designed for change

Solve real-world problems encountered when working with data

Fully automate your delivery

Our approach with Data Engine Thinking does something different – we've woven solid technical expertise into a narrative framework where fictitious characters face real-world challenges.

This fusion of 'handbook' and story helps readers see complex data concepts in action rather than just in theory, making the material stick in a way traditional textbooks simply can't match.

🔍 Calling All Data Professionals!

💬 We’re inviting the data community to share insights, critiques, and ideas across a series of interactive sessions where we’ll explore:

✅ The scope and relevance of the DMBoK
🧩 The structure and content of its knowledge areas
📈 The practicality of its tools, techniques, and metrics
📢 The publication and engagement strategy — how can we make it more accessible and impactful?

🗣️ Your feedback matters.
All insights gathered will be consolidated and shared with DAMA International to support their ongoing efforts to evolve the DMBoK and ensure it meets the needs of today’s data professionals.

🎙️ This is your chance to shape the future of data management guidance.
Let’s co-create a more inclusive, practical, and forward-looking DMBoK.
