Description

If you are leading an organization or if you need to communicate with leaders about data management, Navigating the Labyrinth is your guide. Organizations that want to get value from their data need to manage that data well. But to most executives, data management seems obscure, complicated, and highly technical. They dont have time to learn all the detail or cut through the hype. Navigating the Labyrinth helps them get there. Based on best practices from DAMAs Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK2), it explains the fundamentals and says why they are important. It focuses their attention on what they need to know to help their organizations build trust in and get value out of their data. About DAMA: DAMA International is a not-for-profit, vendor-independent association of technical and business professionals dedicated to advancing concepts and practices related to managing data and information in support of business strategy.
