The three must-haves of modern CDO leadership
How CDOs can build multi-talented insight teams
Digital transformation has made data the lifeblood of modern business. To enable corporate strategy and respond to change, information must flow seamlessly to (and from) every part of an organization without blockages or impurities that might slow circulation. If data is the blood, today’s CDO is becoming the heart, ensuring information is pumped out to business users when needed and cleansed for use after it’s collected.
Elevation to such a central role may have caught some CDOs by surprise. The
role has only existed for a decade and originally came with a remit weighted towards managerial responsibilities. In the post-COVID, digital-first era, today’s CDO is expected to help boards devise a corporate strategy and even own or enable parts themselves.
