In conversation with Doug Laney, author of ‘Infonomics’ and just released ‘Data Juice’

Description

Join us for a conversation with Mr Douglas Laney, author of Infonomics and recently released Data Juice, containing more than 100 real-world examples and expert commentaries on how organisations around the world and in every industry are monetising their own (and others’) data in diverse ways.

Data Juice is a resource for data, business, and IT leaders looking to inspire their teams or executives with ways to thrive in the Digital Age. The evolution from just doing digital stuff to being truly digital requires a level of data literacy that begins with a vision of the art of the possible.

This interactive discussion will be facilitated by Susan Bennett, Founder and Executive Director of InfoGovANZ.

Formerly he was a vice president and distinguished analyst with Gartner’s Chief Data Officer (CDO) research and advisory practice. He is an accomplished practitioner and recognized authority on data and analytics strategy, and is a three-time recipient of Gartner’s annual Thought Leadership Award, and is regularly considered one of the top global influencers these topics. Mr. Laney specializes in and assists organisations with data monetisation and valuation, open and syndicated data, data governance, and big-data based innovation. In 2001 he coined the “3Vs” of volume, velocity and variety, now commonly used in defining Big Data.

Nearly two decades ago, Mr  Laney originated the field of Infonomics, developing methods to quantify information’s economic value and apply asset management practices to information assets. He authored the book “Infonomics: Monetizing, Managing and Measuring Information as a Competitive Advantage,” and lectures at leading business schools on the topic. In addition to his dozens of Gartner research publications and blogs, Mr Laney is a contributing author with Forbes and Information Management Magazine, and has been published in the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times.
