Putting the human back at the center of the age of data
It might be tempting to think that when it comes to data strategy it's all about the numbers: that quantitative thinking rules over all.
While it's undeniably important, it's vital that leadership in data strategy not only acknowledges the human dimension of developing and executing strategy, but actively leverages it.
In Humanizing Data Strategy, Tiankai Feng makes the case for leading with both the head and the heart, and, using examples and cases drawn from experience, demonstrates how we can embrace a new mindset that helps people and organizations get the most out of data.
Discover how to cultivate individual and collective imagination to achieve incredible results.
Embed the principles of ethical data to ensure teams leverage data for good.
Break down silos and bridge the gaps between teams to ensure data strategy is executed effectively.
From the very first page, it’s clear that this book is both thoughtful and heartfelt in a world where reason and logic have sanitized our senses, and data rules the world.
