Editorial Reviews

"FINALLY, an in-depth global data governance guide that delivers expert best practices to a diversity of stakeholders for modelling strategy, regulatory frameworks and business sustainability."

Founder & CEO of Bias in AI - Caryn Lusinchi

"The value of data has been well recognized but people may fall into the pitfall of only looking into details and not seeing the big picture. This book provides the guidance of defining a data strategy and its implementation systematically, emphasizing the aspects that are likely to be overlooked, like risks and threats. It is a handbook that is helping me to design the digital platform for my company."

Vice President, Easy Visible Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. - Tiancheng Liu

A highly practical journey into the need for demonstrable accountability, meaningful stakeholder engagement, and sound data governance across the whole lifecycle based on internationally recognised and adaptable standards, as a business imperative for better decision making. A must read for any digitally and socially responsible leader who navigates the intended and unintended outcomes of their data, technology, people, and ethics, on their business, customers, and wider society."

CEO, Beyond Reach Consulting Limited – a tech ethics consultancy - Patricia Shaw

"Working over several decades with data, it was refreshing to read this book on data governance, which clearly explains evolving ISO standards, while recognizing that data are now very connected and valuable assets. This book, through diverse examples, illustrates the policies and processes needed to protect and exploit data during its lifecycle, from creation/collection to disposal."

Independent Business and Information Management Consultant, Founding Member & Director, BeLux chapter of DAMA - Peter A. Campbell

"I found the book’s approach to be refreshing.... It states the importance of governance at the core of managing data, and re-enforces the forgotten responsibility in data management as a discipline that is critical to any organisation."

Honorary Associate, University of Technology - Sydney Australia - Tyson Fawcett

"Data Governance and Data Strategy are two of the hottest topics in data management today. This insightful and wide ranging book, tracing the history of data and its management from Ancient Babylon to Artificial Intelligence, is a must read for all who seek success in their own data journeys."
