About the book
Discover how to approach data leadership in a way that will steer organizations to deliver effective, improved and sustained data performance in the era of AI.
Data Excellence shows how data leaders can strategize and deliver effective data capabilities, value generation and performance for their organization amid the rapid transformation driven by AI and digital disruption. It covers the three key pillars organizations must address to achieve data excellence: culture change, improving the way change is done and generating, measuring and sustaining data value for the organization. The book also provides guidance on positioning data leaders as personal trainers, responsible for preparing and coaching their organization to professional excellence through tailoring a long-term and sustainable performance plan.
Roberto Maranca draws on his extensive experience to demonstrate that true data leadership transcends technology hype. Featuring key components such as data fitness assessments, data debt evaluation, the Data Excellence Operating Model (DeXOM) and real-world examples, senior executives will learn how to navigate evolving regulatory landscapes, ethical challenges and accelerating technological change while ensuring data initiatives deliver measurable outcomes. Data Excellence equips leaders to confidently guide their companies through the complexities of a data-driven world, harnessing AI's potential responsibly and effectively to create lasting competitive advantage and societal impact.
About the authors
- Roberto Maranca's book nails one of the most important factors in improving data for business and customer outcomes: you need to focus on the company mindset and then the way the company operates. This includes the culture, the roles and the way companies implement change. Maranca provides a very pragmatic and clear focus on the path for companies to go from being data reactive to becoming a truly data-driven organization. He not only gives the reader the building blocks necessary to implement a data management capability but also provides real-world examples and detailed steps required for success. He spends time in the book to lay out the communications plan needed to effectively execute and implement the needed data change into the organization. Data is a team sport and you need the whole organization to follow your lead. Any current or future Chief Data Officer or data professional can learn a lot from Data Excellence. It can be used as a blueprint to plan and execute their data change program and get their company on the path to becoming a data driven organization.
