Data-Driven Leaders Always Win - A Timely New Book For Leaders
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) June 27, 2016 -- Most organizations are seeing their data volumes rise by 30 to 50 percent every year, and are being forced to undergo a digital transformation. This is creating a tumultuous period of change for them. Private and public sector companies have to manage, govern, and analyse this data to generate insights, manage risk, and create business value.
Dr. Kirk Borne, the #1 big data influencer worldwide on social media since 2013, states the following in the foreword - "Data collections are now recognised as a core business asset, a new natural resource, a driver of business change and innovation, a source of increased and/or new revenue streams, a creative force for new products and new markets, and a job opportunity bonanza for those with essential data skills.”
Leadership 2.0 is the new management model, in which data plays a critical role in organizations; where decisions are made and power and authority are distributed on the basis of knowledge, rather than organisational hierarchy. Being data-savvy and data-driven are core skills for leaders in this “Age of Data”. Information technology will continue to play a critical role, but data must take center stage going forward.
To address the challenges and rewards that are now facing data-driven leaders, Jay has brought us a timely book that is based on his many years of data management, governance, and analytics experience. This book is not another hype-driven cheerleading treatment of the subject, but it is a practical, evidence-based, and experience-backed look at both the power and the pitfalls of the modern data-driven leader. The key theme is expressed in the book’s title – that the way to win the battles that your organisation is facing is through the power of data (and knowledge).
The book is targeted to readers across all industries and skill levels. It is available in paperback, and eBook formats via Amazon.com and thousands of online and offline bookstores. The list price for the paperback edition is US $24.95 and the eBook is priced at US $9.99.
