Douglas Laney is the data & analytics strategy research fellow with research and advisory firm BARC. Formerly, he was a vice president and distinguished analyst for Gartner's Chief Data Officer (CDO) research and advisory practice. He is an accomplished practitioner and recognized authority on data and analytics strategy, is a three-time recipient of Gartner's annual Thought Leadership Award, and is regularly considered one of the top global influencers on these topics. Mr. Laney specializes in and assists organizations with data monetization and valuation, open and syndicated data, data governance, and big-data based innovation. In 2001, he coined the "3Vs" of volume, velocity, and variety, now commonly used in defining Big Data.

Nearly two decades ago, Mr. Laney originated the field of Infonomics, developing methods to quantify information's economic value and apply asset management practices to information assets. He authored the book "Infonomics: Monetizing, Managing and Measuring Information as a Competitive Advantage," and lectures at leading business schools on the topic.

He also edited and co-authored Forbes' e-book on Big Data. 

Prior to rejoining Gartner, Mr. Laney helped form and lead the Deloitte Analytics Institute, a global initiative to grow Deloitte's multi-billion-dollar analytics business through marketing, social media, thought leadership, internal education, sales support, and recruiting. Today, Mr. Laney is also a visiting professor at the University of Illinois Gies School of Business and the Carnegie Mellon Heinz College of Business, where he teaches graduate-level courses on analytics and infonomics, also available via Coursera. Mr. Laney also provides expert testimony on legal cases involving data and analytics.

#Gemini Pro has shut me down for the rest of the day at least because I asked for an image that includes a famous Marvin Minsky ("Father of AI") quote which refers to experts as "ignorant savages." It won't generate anything else for me because it says I tripped its "safety filter." #smh #irony
