A sleek, modern cover to showcase systems thinking for management consultants.

Elements of Data Strategy

Boyan Angelov

Boyan Angelov has started his career working on metagenomic data at a Max-Planck Institute in Germany. After this, he went through various domains as a data scientist, spent years in management consulting, and worked as a CTO. He has consulted on data and strategic topics for organizations around the world. Additionally, he has done research in the field of XAI, published in Ecography. He has also authored the O’Reilly book “Python and R for the Modern Data Scientist.”

The huge potential of data remains largely unfulfilled and only limited to tech giants. This book aims to correct that by providing a framework to design a data strategy - a roadmap for delivering data products and projects successfully.

Managers, executives, and management consultants (McKinsey, Deloitte, Accenture, BCG).

The ideal book cover should be clean, focused, and minimalistic in design, easy on the eye. Some keywords on the mood: calm, structure, innovation. Systems thinking is a fundamental method used in the book, and it would be great if this is represented on the cover. You can have a look at the design I made (attached title_page.png) to get an idea. Perhaps there can be a visualization showing how different modular elements combine together to form a larger whole (much like Lego bricks). As for the dimensions, I would go with a technical book standard: 7.0" x 9.1", 17.8cm x 23.1cm.

A good thing to avoid is photos of people, and I would definitely like the avoid the imagery that is traditionally associated with data and AI - such as robots touching a 3D screen, etc.
