More About This Book

Overview

Your company's data has the potential to add enormous value to every facet of the organization -- from marketing and new product development to strategy to financial management. Yet if your company is like most, it's not using its data to create strategic advantage. Data sits around unused -- or incorrect data fouls up operations and decision making.

In Data Driven, Thomas Redman, the "Data Doc," shows how to leverage and deploy data to sharpen your company's competitive edge and enhance its profitability. The author reveals:

• The special properties that make data such a powerful asset

• The hidden costs of flawed, outdated, or otherwise poor-quality data

• How to improve data quality for competitive advantage

• Strategies for exploiting your data to make better business decisions

• The many ways to bring data to market

• Ideas for dealing with political struggles over data and concerns about privacy rights

Your company's data is a key business asset, and you need to manage it aggressively and professionally. Whether you're a top executive, an aspiring leader, or a product-line manager, this eye-opening book provides the tools and thinking you need to do that.

    more from this reviewer

    Practical, straightforward information management manual

    This is a highly readable, thorough, credible guide to the principles of data management. Author Thomas C. Redman covers all the bases, showing readers how to improve data quality, use data to make better decisions and establish management systems that will help nearly any company get the most from its data. Few business subjects have been more abused than data management; a common misconception consigns data management to the IT department. The author shows why the data is, most appropriately, a line rather than a staff responsibility. getAbstract recommends it highly to those whose business may live or die based on the quality of its data management - and that may be your company, whether you realize it yet or not.

    A spot-on view of the business side of data

    Dr. Redman clearly knows his way around data. Data Driven is a marvelous journey into data on the move. Dr. Redman provides a smorgasbord of tips, techniques, case studies, and wisdom readers can use to improve data quality in their organizations. The Information Age has brought with it tremendous innovation and Dr. Redman zeros right in on the business side of data and how strategically improving data quality enables organizations to profit from their most important business asset: Data. Data Driven as a must-read especially for those touched by data and data quality.

    Interesting take on the role of data

    Very powerful commentary on the role data plays in business. It provides a refreshing take on how you can think of data as an asset and in turn use it to transform how your business delivers value. I would really recommend this to anyone who is open to new ideas and has a sense that data can be an asset to be leveraged as opposed to ignored.
