I thank all of the business professionals and data management professionals that have contributed their insights about data resource management. Those providing positive insight confirm that I’m on the right track. Those providing negative insight push me to find better approaches to managing data as a critical resource and to presenting those approaches.
I thank my publisher, Steve Hoberman, for all his thought, encouragement, and comments about publishing technical material. He has become a good professional friend as well as a skilled publisher.
Finally, I thank Sandy Hostetter and Eva Smith, who have been long term professional and personal friends. Each has provided tremendous insight into the work I’ve done and the material I’ve prepared for managing data as a critical resource of the organization. It’s through their support and input that I’ve made professional achievements.
