Morgan Templar
We have curated a list of books and articles (many written by our Leaders) that we think will help organizations deliberately manage data and information with the same accountability as other assets promotes the LDO’s overall vision to make The Leader’s Data Manifesto a reality.
Data management is not “intuitive” – it requires understanding the relationship between an organization’s data and its ability to carry out its work successfully. The books and articles we promote will contribute to a higher level of knowledge about data in organizations.
The conversation around books is likely to connect to real problems that real people in our field are grappling with. This can help us understand these challenges better and can help us see ways in which we can lead the change.

In Data & Reality, William Kent explores how we, people, make data, through a set of choices about what to represent and how to represent it. Written in the late 1970s, the book’s observations are even more important in the 21st century, as we are flooded with new and sometimes highly questionable forms of data.
In “Good to Great” Collins researches why a few organisations outperform the market by a significant margin. The fundamental reason is cultural – the right people on the bus with a very clear vision of the destination.
Hubbard takes a concept that many find challenging, how to quantify, and turns it on its side: any measurement is, at its simplest, a comparison.
So measuring anything amounts to figuring out the appropriate comparisons and using them to learn more about the thing you want to measure. His choice to simplify the concept creates a new perspective that simplifies measurement and also shows the risks of failing to understand the assumptions built into measurement.
Perez assesses everyday situations through the lens of gender bias and reveals a set of challenges and indignities (the size of i-phones, the design of automobiles) that many women are aware of but that most men do not notice, because they do not have to be. She then uses this lens to demonstrate how assumptions about gender influence what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we interpret its meaning. In the face of claims about the value of artificial intelligence, this book gives one a reason to pause and reevaluate the risks associated with allowing machines to take biased human thinking to its logical conclusions.
Davies, a physicist and cosmologist, has written an astonishing book about information and the role it plays in every level of our existence from the molecular level to the universal one.
Two things fascinate me:
firstly, the enormity of Davies’ thought and,
secondly, that we struggle to manage the information just in our own organisations.
