Data Diplomacy

Successful data governance requires replacing governance with diplomacy. This book is your guide to applying a lean and friendly yet proven approach to data governance and data design by leveraging your existing workforce, and allowing these data workers to create and sustain a data smart organization.



"The time has come for Data Diplomacy. H kan Edvinsson describes DD as the way to engage everybody as data workers and to assist them with the data responsibilities associated with their business functions. The concept of Non-Coercive Data Governance as a core tenet of Data Diplomacy echoes from the practical nature of Non-Invasive Data Governance. Read this book and consider how diplomacy will make sense in your organization."

Robert S. Seiner, President & Principal, KIK Consulting/TDAN.com



Learn the diplomacy techniques and approach to align and unite the organization when facing challenges and taking on bold initiatives. Use a "getting things right from start" strategy for having the data correct enough to meet business needs. Become adept at facilitating business representatives to take responsibility to determine what the data should look like, what it should be called, and how it is connected.



"This is a refreshing approach to Data Governance. If you feel stuck, it might be time to add a touch of diplomacy in your game..."
