Center of Excellence Poll

1. Not sure what it is.
2. Know what it is but never seen it implemented.
3. Know what it is and seen implemented but not very useful.
4. Know what it is and think it is a very valuable way to manage a development team.

Should there be a discussion of centers of excellence, I've seen them come full circle, from very successful start to not-with-a-bang-with-a-whimper end.

Excellent polls, Kim.

Would love to see your suggestions on what worked and what did not work.

After I left the COE team at BCBS I went to the ODS team. We developed a cool near real time ODS using DataStage the ended winning the TDWI best practice the following year. HCSC is the real company name because each Blue Cross licenses the name. Look it up. I think we won because we had an attitude of excellence.

We set up an Information Management Centre of Excellence in the Department of Defence (Australia) some eight years back, concentrating on data quality issues and techniques. It is still in operation, gathering to its bosom more and more parts of the Department's information assets.
