Navigate the practicalities of building and nurturing a data culture that is right for your organization with this hands-on guide.
Organizations often start their data journey by either procuring the technology or hiring the people. However, without an effective data-driven culture in place, they can struggle to derive value from their investments. Data Culture explores how data leaders can develop and nurture a data-driven culture tailored to their organization's needs. It outlines the types of data leadership and teams needed and the key building blocks for success, such as team recruitment, building and training, leadership, process, behavioural change management, developing, sustaining and measuring a data culture, company values and everyday decision making. It also explores the nuances of how different types of data cultures work with different types of companies, what to avoid and the differences between building a data culture from scratch and changing an existing data culture from within. With this hands-on guide, senior data leader Shorful Islam takes readers through how to successfully establish or change a data culture, sharing his expertise in behavioural change psychology and two decades of experience in fostering data culture in organizations.

"Most organisations aspire to be data-driven, but this doesn't happen just because you have data being collected somewhere in the building. The expectations and behaviours about how an organization uses its data to become wiser and more successful depend on the data culture that it fosters, across the business and especially in its leadership. Data Culture explores the critical contribution that data culture makes to success and how to create and foster a healthy data culture that makes data central to decision making. As data availability expands exponentially, the culture around its use becomes ever more important to understand and Shorful Islam's experience across academia, public and private sector work makes him an expert guide."
