CIOs And CDOs: A Vital Partnership For Data Value
CIO, April 4th, 2023
Enterprises are increasingly placing data operations under the stewardship of a single executive: the chief data officer. CIOs must adjust and collaborate strategically to ensure the business thrives.
CIOs collaborate with C-suite colleagues on a regular basis. Given the high value of data and analytics to business, among the most important of these relationships is the one a CIO develops with their chief data officer (CDO).
A CDO is responsible for enterprise-wide governance and use of information as an asset, through data analysis, processing, mining, and other means. Considering the nature of their responsibilities, CIOs and CDOs are bound to have lots of opportunities to work together and must do so in a way beneficial to the enterprise as a whole.
