Turn data quality into a business advantage that delivers measurable results.
Poor data quality delays transformation, undermines analytics, and erodes trust in business decisions. Data Quality ROI shows business leaders, data professionals, and executives how to reframe data quality as a strategic asset that fuels revenue growth, risk reduction, and customer satisfaction.
Drawing on years of leading data governance and quality programs, author Gaurav Patole introduces a clear, Newton-inspired framework for understanding how data flows, breaks, and improves inside organizations. Through relatable stories and four simple laws, he explains why data quality programs often stall and how to build lasting change.
This book goes beyond cleansing and dashboards to focus on ownership, communication, and culture. Readers will discover how to overcome organizational inaction, break down governance silos, and make data quality everyone's responsibility. Each chapter connects practical steps to real business outcomes, ensuring data quality conversations resonate across both business and technology teams.
This book delivers a rare combination of deep expertise and practical frameworks that any organization-regardless of maturity-can use to take control of its data, to adopt a Fit-for-Purpose mindset focused exclusively on the data that drives decisions, revenue, and risk mitigation.
