Love this book. Wish I had a soft copy.

Every once in a while, you come across a book that's 100% relevant to your professional interests, clearly and lucidly explains problems, focuses on a few sub-problems instead of trying to be everything for everyone, provides straightforward solution plans to implement, metrics to be careful about, and pitfalls to avoid based on real-life experiences. I was happy that this book was just like that. I've marked a lot of pages, and highlighted a lot of sentences. Almost every few pages I said to myself "tell me about it! Yes, that's also one of the challenges I have at the company! Oh dear, that's an understatement!"If you are working in the data management domain as a CDO (Chief Data Officer), data steward, or in any way find yourself working in a data governance / data quality / data stewardship project, this should be the first book you should read. Of course, data governance, or master data governance is a big topic in itself, just like data quality is, but what I really liked about this book is that it focuses on just the right level of detail, showing "what", "when", "how", and "with who" in a very straightforward manner. This, of course, doesn't mean things will be easy, but at least the author shows how you can plan things concretely, without drowning in hundreds of templates and checklists, and I really appreciated his pragmatic, down-to-earth approach.If you want that looks at the bigger picture of Data Governance, I can recommend "Data Governance: How to Design, Deploy and Sustain an Effective Data Governance Program" by John Ladley, and if you want to learn more about data quality, you should definitely read "Measuring Data Quality for Ongoing Improvement: A Data Quality Assessment Framework".

Not as actionable as I would have hoped.

Not a lot of "how to."
