Description

When is pudding, not pudding? How do you avoid the hacky sack problem? How do you handle granularity tug-o-wars? Come learn practical, fun concepts for analyzing and negotiating taxonomy standardization. Tig Newman, information architect for Google Cloud’s Looker product line, will show what they learned in analyzing & negotiating a cross-organization taxonomy that’s used in multiple tools, teams, and data streams — without ever having a committee meeting and without ever mentioning the dread “taxonomy” word!

About the speakers

Tig Newman
Tig Newman

As the information architect and principal content strategist for Looker (part of Google Cloud), I invented, evangelized, and implemented a novel system to generate, track, share, and merge product data cross-functionally. As Looker teams migrate to Google Cloud’s tools, they have been intent on preserving this system that helps teams operationally and strategically. I have a background in a variety of teams and functions, which helped me see the roadblocks and possibilities. I also am a certified data analyst and love finding novel ways to generate and use data.
