Last month, I examined the importance of improving data literacy and briefly discussed five strategies organisations can employ to help achieve this. For my October piece, I want to build on these concepts and turn my attention to what makes data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).
Experts in the data space know the importance of data and its analysis to help drive business growth and competitive advantage.

Something my avid readers may not yet know about me is that I have always had a particular interest in the world of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) – in particular, the role of quality data within this space.

Both deal with data and information in one way or another. This means that their roles are often seen, and expressed, …
