Show Notes

Dr Jonathan Reichental is a Founder, Professor, author and former Chief Information Officer for the city of Palo Alto, Silicon Valley.  Jonathan has recently released his new book 'Data Governance for Dummies' which is an Amazon No1 best seller. 
83% of CEO's want a data driven organisation yet only 32% are realising this result. 
47% of data created has critical errors within it that impacts work and 48% of employees tend to follow their gut rather than the data. 
All leaders of any sized business will use and manage data, but how many are able to turn that data into insight and wisdom? 
In this episode Jonathan will outline what data governance is, why it is important (non-negotiable) and what all leaders need to consider regardless of the size and complexity of the business. 
Jonathan outlines a step approach to creating your data strategy and how to think about expense, execution, operations, cataloguing, analytics and insights. 
The sheer scale of data created and consumed is almost incomprehensible and Jonathan helps us understand terms such as 'data exhaust' and 'dark data' as this episode is a must for all leaders to understand how data governance works and how to apply it to an organisation in a way that improves results and doesn't disrupt. www.reichental.com
