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

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.
