Defense Language Institute Data Management Strategy

Abstract

One of the most difficult aspects of research and study is the quality and availability of data. This thesis takes a hands-on approach to influencing, developing and implementing organizational and cultural change in enterprise operations in the collection and storage of data for the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC). DLIFLC currently maintains three consolidated databases for the collection and storage of student data. Additionally, each of its eight language schools maintains a separate and independent database. The disparate nature of this current state of data management is inhibiting DLIFLC from making data-driven decisions to capitalize on desirable outcomes or identify root causes of undesirable outcomes. This thesis attempts to make organizational change that standardizes and creates governance for data management and security across all of DLIFLC in order to eliminate redundancy and improve efficiency of operations.
