Introduction

The world of data is changing fast, and we are seeing a shift in focus from data storage to data management.

Data Mastery – A Guide to Effective Data Management for Improved Business Outcomes is written by James O’Donnell and Edwina Best-Crossley, two highly respected experts in their field. They have brought together all the latest information on how to achieve this goal by creating a practical guide that will help you succeed as a data professional.

Data Management is a hot topic these days.

A book that is in the spotlight these days is Data Mastery: A Guide to Effective Data Management for Improved Business Outcomes by Joe Celko. Even though the title may sound like a boring textbook, it’s actually not! The author has written this book with the intention of educating beginners about data management techniques and tools in an easy-to-understand manner.

It’s important for companies to have a good understanding about their data because it can be used as a valuable asset or strategic asset, which will help them improve their business outcomes and stay competitive against other companies in their industry sector. In addition, when you take advantage of all the benefits offered by Big Data technology today (such as machine learning), then you’ll have an even greater competitive advantage over other businesses out there who don’t know how they could benefit from using these kinds of technologies yet.”

What makes this book different?

The book is a practical guide on how data management can bring better business outcomes. It puts the reader into the role of a data leader who has been asked to improve business outcomes through effective use of data. The book does this by providing real-world examples, case studies, and advice on how to approach each step of your journey.

The first two chapters provide an overview of what you need to know about data management in order to achieve better business outcomes: why it matters; what tools are available; how they work together (or don’t); what other people may be doing at your company or industry level; where you should start if you want more information before taking action yourself…

This book is written for both new and experienced users of data analytics software. It’s important to note that this isn’t just another book about how to use Excel or R–it discusses how we can apply our skillsets in real-world situations so that we can make better decisions based on our findings.

The book puts the reader into the role of a data leader who has been asked to improve business outcomes through effective use of data. The first chapter starts with an introduction to data management, including definitions and examples of what it means to be a “data manager” or “data professional.” This section is written in an easy-to-follow manner that makes sense for those who might not have much experience with this type of work.

The rest of the book is broken up into three parts:

• Part 1 covers foundational concepts related to design, modeling, storage and security;
• Part 2 provides guidance on managing projects; finally * Part 3 focuses on how you can apply what you’ve learned as part of your daily work life as well as future career growth

It covers everything from how to plan for future needs, through to how to deal with GDPR compliance and everything in between, including how to create an effective data strategy.

Data strategy is a high-level plan for how you will use data to improve business outcomes. It’s not a technology plan, it’s not a data management plan, and it’s not even really about governance or security (although these things are certainly important). A good data strategy should focus on three things:

• How do we manage our current assets? This includes any information that exists today – whether it’s stored in spreadsheets or databases, used in reports or dashboards, accessed via web apps or mobile devices.
• What do we need next? This means looking at the gaps between where we are now and where we want our business to be in six months’ time (or longer). Where are there opportunities for improvement? Does this require new skillsets within the team? Would adding new tools help achieve those goals more quickly than doing everything manually would achieve them today? Can existing tools be repurposed into something else entirely which makes sense given our long term strategy for growth when measured against short term goals like meeting quarterly targets set by senior leadership teams who only care about getting results quickly rather than focusing on long term success metrics such as customer satisfaction ratings over time.”

The authors discuss everything from ethics, risk management, governance and compliance issues, as well as metrics and measurement frameworks.
