“At a time when everyone seems to have become an instant data expert and AI genius, it’s refreshing to read a rigorously researched and pragmatically laid out examination of this fundamentally important topic. In my view, it’s a prime example of the Australian MBA culture (minimum bullshit allowed) in action and needs to be on everyone’s reading list.”
Daragh O Brien, CEO, Castlebridge and Lecturer in Data Protection and Data Governance, UCD Sutherland School of Law.

“Price and Evans have produced a ground-breaking, mind-altering book on how organizations and executives need to be thinking about and approaching information in their organizations, but why they regularly fail to do so. This perhaps is the most comprehensively researched and one of the most important books ever published on the topic of managing data as an actual enterprise asset and overcoming the persistent business pathology preventing it.”
Douglas B. Laney, Innovation Fellow, West Monroe Partners, and author of “Infonomics and Data Juice”

by James Price & Dr Nina Evans

Written by executives for executives, this book is being published by Taylor & Francis.  It explains that in the age of Artificial Intelligence, the engine of productivity and growth is technology.  The fuel of the productivity engine is data and if the fuel isn’t clean or is poor quality, the engine doesn’t work.  This book draws on a quarter of a century of research and practical problem solving and explains why the governance and management of data, information and knowledge is critical for business success.
