For both business leaders and information professionals

I found a lot of great material in this book, appealing to my interests in both business leadership and the more technical aspects of data quality. From the perspective of business leadership, I find it to be a very helpful tutorial and overview of the subject of data quality. It covers a lot of ground, ranging from discussions of data quality management concepts to specific suggestions for implementing data quality programs. From the perspective of a consulting professional, I find it to be an excellent reference, with depth in key topics of interest to process, information and quality professionals. In particular, the discussions about the 'data life cycle', the technical definitions of data and the 'dimensions of data quality' gave me new insights into data quality management and improvement.
