    Very Good, Non-technical Reference on Data Governance

    This is the type of book that you can hand to that boss or co-worker who doesn't understand the issue of data governance. While it does cover some technology, it's more about managing the people and processes for data governance - the business side of data governance. It covers some interesting ground on getting funded for your data governance initiative, and continues on to discuss how to bake data quality processes into every IT project. Defintitely a good read if you're trying to fire up your company on adopting a company-wide data quality strategy.
