DAMA book club (online): My View of the Data World
Location not specified yetMost data problems are actually leadership problems. Liz Henderson has spent 20+ years in boardrooms watching this play out, and her book is the honest account of what she learned.
October's DAMA Norway Book Club pick is "My View of the Data World: Fresh Perspectives for Driving Strategic Transformation (The Data Leadership Series Book 1)" by Liz Henderson, and we'll be discussing it live with the author in a 45-minute online session.
It's not a technical book. It's for anyone who has watched their organisation invest heavily in data, analytics or AI and still not get the results they expected. Liz argues the problem isn't the technology, it's the questions we ask. We focus so much on the what and the how that we forget the why and the who. The book helps you move past "analytics theatre" and start connecting data to decisions that actually matter.
This is an informal digital meetup, a chance to listen, ask questions, and exchange perspectives with others working in data.
If you're interested in data leadership, strategy or the people side of data, you're very welcome to join.Get the paper copy here: My View of the Data World: Fresh Perspectives for Driving Strategic Transformation (The Data Leadership Series Book 1) eBook : Henderson, Liz: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
When and Where: Online, 20.10, 16:00–16:45 | 45-minute session
Conversation in English
P.S. You can win a copy of "My View of the Data World" book at our physical meetup in October. We are looking forward to see you there.1 attendee

Your favourite Meetup is back 😎
We want to invite everyone to join our DAMA Norway Community meetup at the Data Democracy: citizen-led governance & closing the data equity gap, where we will host two great speakers:
Geoffrey van IJzendoorn-Joshi and Nina Mathisen
Data gives us knowledge. AI scales how we learn from it. But when citizens have no access to, or control over their own data, while organisations profit from it, we face a data equity problem that erodes democratic rights.
Data Management and Governance professionals and others interested in or working with the societal impact of data and our democracy are uniquely equipped to uncover this gap, the misalignment between the current data economy and citizens' rights and interests. We invite you to the first Data Democracy meetup.
What our speakers will cover:
• The reality of data inequity: the tensions between sovereignty and innovation
• Real-world solutions: how organisations can empower citizens as stakeholders, not just data sources
• The roadmap: digital wallets, device data access, and building citizen-centric data governance that strengthens both trust and innovation
Who should attend:
Data Management professionals, governance leaders, policy practitioners, and others interested in or working with the societal impact of data and our democracy🎉 There will be an amazing atmosphere, pizza, and you can win the book from our next Book Club, which takes place on November 20😊
