Practical HERM implementations

About the Event

Discover how Imperial College London is transforming data risk management through the adoption of the HE Reference Model (HERM) standards. In this session, Andrew Lewis, Data Architect at Imperial College London, will share how the university is joining up data governance and improving observability by applying UCISA-supported standard metadata across multiple systems.

Learn how Imperial has embedded HERM business capability categories into the metadata of separate tools—spanning risk management, data ownership, and product lifecycle management—to create a clearer, more connected view of data management activities.

Andrew will walk through Imperial’s real-world implementation journey, highlight what worked (and what didn’t), and explain why the team believes the UCISA standard is not only valuable in theory, but powerful in practice.

If you're looking for practical insights, tangible outcomes, and lessons learned from applying HERM in an operational environment, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
