Value-Driven Data focuses on the three simple things that under-pin the quest for unlocking value from data: vision, obstacles, and value.
The focus of the first part of this book is to answer questions such as: What is data vision? How can we identify and capture data visions? Why do data visions of all sizes matter?
Ultimately, this book is a no-nonsense account of what it takes to unlock data value. Told through a combination of professional experiences and real-life case studies, it explains how data stakeholders can leverage value-driven opportunities for themselves, their organizations and society at large.
