"The value of data has been well recognized but people may fall into the pitfall of only looking into details and not seeing the big picture. This book provides the guidance of defining a data strategy and its implementation systematically, emphasizing the aspects that are likely to be overlooked, like risks and threats. It is a handbook that is helping me to design the digital platform for my company."
