Non-Invasive Data Governance Strikes Again: Gaining Experience and Perspective (Paperback or Softback)

Non-Invasive Data Governance Strikes Again provides a blend of 50 applicable lessons learned and perspectives gained from years of assisting organizations worldwide to follow the popular non-invasive approach from the bestseller, Non-Invasive Data Governance.

Non-Invasive Data Governance (NIDG) does not mean that the governance of data and information will be easy or without trials and tribulations. Non-invasive does not mean that the program will be low impact. The title of this book is a dichotomy: achieving measurable results by being less threatening while the impact of striking with this approach can be huge. NIDG focuses on leveraging existing levels of accountability while addressing opportunities to improve. Read about a new framework for Non-Invasive Data Governance in this book that views the main components of a successful program through different levels and perspectives of the organization.

Too often, data books present a rose-colored lens of how things should be. Bob Seiner certainly has the pedigree to know what needs to change, but he also has the practical experience to make it happen. This book is a key that can help anyone unlock the knowledge that Bob has accumulated the hard way, from the experience of many real-life data governance implementations. Everyone should add this to their data bookshelf, since no matter the scenario, there is likely to be a chapter or essay that will apply and help improve the situation. I can’t imagine a better encore to Bob’s original Non-Invasive Data Governance book!
