John Ladley - Data Leader

John Ladley is a highly experienced practitioner, advisor and advocate for organizations looking for sustainable value from information and data.   His experience and knowledge is balanced between treating data assets as an essential component of modern business and economies, and the practical solution of business problems.

John’s books are the authoritative sources for Data and Information Management and Data Governance. He is a recognized authority and speaker on enterprise information management, including data monetization, information and data architectures, data governance, MDM, data quality, BI and Analytics, data warehouse and knowledge management. John is sometimes called the “senior statesman of data.”  Currently John is semi-retired and works with clients as an advocate for data governance and management and as a mentor to organization leadership. 

“Unofficially” – data and information management is something John didn’t go after. It found him. And as digital data becomes woven into the fabric of our existence, John believes we all need to accept a reality where fundamental corporate and organization structures, policies and process will change. Society itself needs to change. This is an anthropological issue.  The economic doctrines of Land, Labor and Capital now have a new friend – Data. We are ill equipped for this new age.
