Another iterative improvement to the body of knowledge
Ladley has again written a pragmatic and pracical book that distills his extensive knowledge and insights into how organisations actually need to implement Data Governance. He highlights the fundamental people and asset management disciplines that need to be brought to bear along with the information governance methods that need to be applied. And, as ever, the vignettes of good practice prompt thought and reflection. A must have resource for anyone embarking on a data governance journey.
