Haadia's response:
As shared in Chapter 6, to improve data quality one needs to understand the "highly complex nature and the magnitude of data quality issues in the comprehensive context, including the organizational context" (Lee et al., 2006). As such, it is significant that companies prioritize diagnosing not only the data itself but also the data environment, which is where data quality issues arise and can be intensified through root conditions. In particular, as Professor Lee discussed in class, root conditions do not create problems themselves rather not recognizing and managing root conditions can produce data quality problems (Lee, 2021). 
A root condition that I interacted with during my last co-op was "Security Accessibility trade-off". Specifically, I worked on a large Tech Risk Management engagement where we assisted our Financial Services client with their transition to becoming an LFI (large financial institution) and the increasing regulation/compliance standards they would be responsible for upholding. As part of this project, my team members and I had to complete compliance training when onboarding and were held responsible for not discussing project details with nonmembers. Also, once we ended the project we had to wipe all documents that may have been saved to our desktop and had an entire offboarding checklist we had to complete before we were officially cleared from the project. Moreover, while my company recognized the importance of ensuring privacy, confidentiality, and security of client information there were times when it made tasks more difficult. For example, a common scenario we encountered was when a new member on the project needed access to the drive where both the client and company were storing project materials. When this would occur, we would have to email someone from the client-side confirming approval for the specific person and that they were allowed to access the drive (as the client kept a list of everyone who had access over the project timeline). Additionally, given the time difference/employees being out of office, it could take 24 hours before we heard back and were able to grant an employee access. Especially when working in such a fast-paced environment like consulting, time is of the essence and having such high standards created barriers to accessibility at times.
This experience speaks to the trade-off that occurs between security and accessibility, particularly illustrating how security can impact the accessibility one has to data and thus the data quality of deliverables. Furthermore, the root condition of "Security Accessibility trade-off" can evolve into the data dimensions of accessibility and reputation. For example, not being able to obtain client data relates to the accessibility dimension and can also impact the overall reputation of the data source. This is because by not having access, employees are unable to utilize the data which will worsen the reputation as an increasing number of people will become more aware of the consistent barrier. Similarly, the difficulty in obtaining data can also influence p...
