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.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Every page of Data Excellence succeeds in a remarkable feat: translating years of experience, mistakes, successes and insights into a real practical training course in data excellence. The original metaphor of the "Data Personal Trainer" who trains corporate "Data Athletes" is not just a stylistic device, but the key to transforming complex concepts into a concrete and accessible path. With a direct, intelligent and never predictable style, Roberto Maranca starts from a simple yet overlooked observation: to obtain value from data, technology and frameworks are not enough; a real cultural change is needed, role by role, habit by habit. This book is deeply original because it does not copy ready-made models: it dismantles them, compares them and reconstructs them based on what is really needed in the company. Each chapter is a step towards an idea of excellence that brings together culture, change and value. I highly recommend this book to anyone responsible for organizational change, from Chief Data Officers, to digital transformation leaders, to all those who want to move beyond talking about being 'data-driven' and start truly embodying it, day after day." * Franco Francia, Vice President, DAMA Italy, and CEO of Inema Srl and FIT Strategy Srl * "It's wonderful to see the ideas I've heard from Roberto Maranca come to life in the pages of this book. Maranca's humanitarian and philosophical approach to data is assessible, actionable and inspiring for all of us that wants to make a real difference with data." * Caroline Carruthers - Bestselling author and CEO, Carruthers and Jackson * "Organizations that lead the market are those that master both the art and science of turning their assets into value: money, materials, talent and data. This has become increasingly clear with AI's insatiable hunger for data. The organizations of the future recognize that data is a team sport, and Data Excellence neatly outlines how to train those teams into top performance." * Stijn Christiansen - Co-founder & Chief Data Citizen, Collibra * "Set at the interface of leadership, culture change and technical data expertise, this book holds a unique position in the market to enable us to understand the conditions that are critical to drive value from data into our businesses. Roberto Maranca tackles the most challenging of topics, such as driving value and embedding operating models without losing the complexity of them and the muti-faceted principles that a leader must attend to for success. He shows us how and why embedding data at the heart of our organization is critical but immensely complex and outlines beautifully the vast responsibility that data leaders hold today. Sectioned into pillars and brought to life with models and workable examples ensures accessibility for mid-range and senior leaders from across all professions. Thought provoking for us all." * Dr Johanna Hutchinson, Group Chief Data Officer, BAE Systems * "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." * Peter Serenita, Former CDO, HSBC, Scotiabank *
