Explaining how to identify your strategic data needs, what methods to use to collect the data and, most importantly, how to translate your data into organizational insights for improved business decision-making and performance, this is essential reading for anyone aiming to leverage the value of their business data and gain competitive advantage.
Packed with case studies and real-world examples, advice on how to build data competencies in an organization and crucial coverage of how to ensure your data doesn't become a liability, Data Strategy will equip any organization with the tools and strategies it needs to profit from big data, analytics and the Internet of Things.
Algorithm will control every aspect of our lives. This book is the 2017 how-to-guide to take advantage of data to outthink, outcompete and outperform.

Data Strategy isn't just for data people: Bernard Marr shows that a Data Strategy deserves attention on the same level as a company's marketing, customer, product, and talent strategies. In my experience, a data strategy is critical to the success of all of these efforts. I believe Bernard's book is a valuable starting point for developing your data strategy. I found it brought together a number of lessons I've learned. If you've never developed a data strategy, it's worth reading twice.
