A playbook for CDOs: Aligning data strategy with business goals

Chief Data Officers (CDOs) are at the forefront of maximizing how businesses use and benefit from their growing volumes of data. They are essential to creating the infrastructure and environment to build a data-centric business, with information shared across the organization and beyond to support company objectives.

Yet, despite the growth in the number of CDOs, they face a complex set of challenges to deliver on corporate goals. Often, they have to transform internal data stacks, put in place robust governance processes and create a data culture, all while involving the entire organization and breaking down silos, within a limited timeframe.
