Introduced in 2017 at Enterprise Data World, the Leader's Data Manifesto is a declaration of intent to assist business and government leaders to manage their Information Assets - their data, information, and knowledge - as if they were, because they are, a vital business asset. Providing the right data to the right people at the right time is critical to every business activity, every business process, and every business decision. Data is foundational to all the high profile issues: to analytics and artificial intelligence; to cyber-security; to the cloud and data sovereignty; to innovation and disruption; and to Blockchain and the Internet Of Things. Yet if organizations were to manage their money the way they manage their data, they would be "broke in a week." There is a fundamental disconnect here.

This presentation provides an update on the Leader’s Data Manifesto.  Join us to find out:

James Price has over 30 years' experience in the information industry. Realising that it’s the information, not the infrastructure that delivers it, that creates business value, James formed Experience Matters, a firm that advises on how to manage vital data, information and knowledge as a strategic business asset to drive significant, tangible business outcomes. His work with the University of South Australia researching the “Barriers to and benefits of managing data, information and knowledge as a strategic business asset” has been described by Gartner as “tremendous” and the research as “ground-breaking.” Stuart Hamilton of Aquatic Informatics wrote, “I do believe that you have documented the greatest single barrier to productivity in the 21st Century economy and nobody knows about it.” James is internationally recognized as an author of ethics approved, peer-reviewed papers and as a keynote presenter to business and academic conferences.

An internationally respected expert, Danette McGilvray is known for her Ten Steps™ approach, used by multiple industries as a proven method for increasing the value of data through quality and governance.
