Summary

In this final chapter, we have highlighted the best practices that, if followed, will lead to the best possible outcome for your data quality initiatives. We also identified the most common mistakes made in data quality initiatives. If these mistakes are not avoided, initiatives may not achieve their objectives as fully as they might have done.

We also considered the impact of LLMs on data quality work – which I expect to be transformative in the next few years.

Data quality has been a passion for me over the last 16 years, and I have seen concerted and well-supported initiatives truly transform the ability of organizations to achieve their strategic goals. I’ve put everything I have learned into this book in the hope that it helps others get their initiative right the first time. I wish anyone starting an initiative after reading this book every success!
