A chat with the Data Whisperer about the importance and value of proper data management. Scott offers his expertise by way of fun and creative Data Storytelling...a different type of storytelling...not a story WITH data but ABOUT the data to determine the truth in the data. "If you don't have the truth, you can't determine the meaning." - Scott TaylorScott Taylor, The Data Whisperer, has helped countless companies by enlightening business executives to the strategic value of proper data management. He focuses on business alignment and the “strategic WHY” rather than system implementation and the “technical HOW.” As Principal Consultant for MetaMeta Consulting he helps Enterprises and Tech Brands tell their data story.An avid business evangelist and original thinker, he continually shares his passion for the strategic value of master data through industry events, public speaking opportunities, blogs, videos, whitepapers, podcasts, cartoons, puppets shows and all forms of thought leadership. His new book – TELLING YOUR DATA STORY: Data Storytelling for Data Management is available now.He lives in Bridgeport, CT where he often kayaks in Black Rock harbor. He can also juggle pins and blow a square bubble.ABOUT THE BOOK – Telling Your Data Story- Data Storytelling for Data ManagementThe Data Whisperer’s practical guide to explaining and understanding the strategic value of data management. The need for data management is everywhere across your company. The value of every digitally transformative customer-facing initiative, every data science and analytics-based project, every as-a-service offering, every foray into e-commerce, and every enterprise software implementation is inextricably linked to the successful output of data management efforts. Although it is a simple function of garbage in garbage out, that slogan rarely drives any sustainable executive action. We need to tell a better data story.Data Storytelling is probably the hottest non-technical trend in the technology-related space. But it does not directly support data management because it is focused on analytics or telling stories with data. So, it is time to expand the realm of Data Storytelling to recognize the role of data management by telling stories about data.The book can be purchased from Technics Publications (also available on Amazon)Please use promo code DATAWHISPERER to save 20% when purchasing directly from the publisher sitehttps://technicspub.com/data-storytelling/Additional LinksToo Much Tech Talk?  (A puppet service announcement)Connecting Data Management to the Essence of Your BusinessData Has Got to Move to Have ValueThe Super Hero Adventures of **Master Data** Scott Taylor - The Data Whisperer YouTube Channel#data #datamanagement #puppets #creativedata #datastorytelling #metadataSubscribe to our podcast, and leave a reviewConnect with us on Instagram, FaceBook, Twitter , and LinkedInhttps://eima-inc.com/lets-talk-small-data@letstalksmalldatapodMusic credit: Yung Kartz
