If you are leading an organization or if you need to communicate with leaders about data management, Navigating the Labyrinth is your guide.

Organizations that want to get value from their data need to manage that data well. But to most executives, data management seems obscure, complicated, and highly technical. You don't have time to learn all the detail or cut through the hype. Navigating the Labyrinth helps you get there. Based on best practices from DAMA's Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK2), it explains the fundamentals and says why they are important. It focuses your attention on what you need to know to help your organization build trust in and get value out of its data.
