Our Trainers
The Institute 4DM is part of Robinson Ryan, a data centric consulting company
The Institute for Data Management is about making everybody more confident with data. From your first day, to higher levels of certification and mentoring, the Institute for Data Management has an offering for you.
Our trainers have developed expertise across the data management spectrum. Most are former executives across data management, IT management, business and data architecture, design and implementation capabilities.
We are training specialists. Our materials are organised to make it easy for you to follow. We believe training is not about us showing you what we’re capable of. No, training is all about enabling the participant – you – to master skills and identify how you can take concrete ideas back to the workplace to effect positive change and advancement there.

Graham Wilson
Certified Business Architect®
Business Architecture Guild
Co Author of Emily’s Rebellion

He has been a database administrator and data architect for government agencies.
