The choices facing data leaders tasked to transform their data and analytics functions into levers of innovation and change are overwhelming. Mountains of and technical and data debt, excessive market hype, and increasing pressure to show progress on AI are exacerbating the enormity of the task.  Overcoming these barriers is key to breaking the curse of excessively short CDO tenures.  

Practical Steps for Data Leaders:

Data leaders who are implementing or revitalizing their data teams, and who seek an answer to the question of ‘where should I start?’ must:

  1. Revisit legacy assumptions, challenge the status quo
  2. Embrace an operating model focused on agility
  3. Prioritize progress over perfection; take a practical approach to GenAI
  4. Recognize that ‘all data is not created equally’
  5. Leverage an analytical style of master data management (MDM) to drive short-term value, and establish a strong data foundation

Come hear industry expert, author of the ‘Data Hero Playbook’, and the CDO of Profisee, Malcolm Hawker, as he shares valuable insights the practical steps data leaders must take to drive meaningful and lasting changes in their organizations.  Malcolm also shares his experience on how an analytical style of MDM is the perfect balance between short-term business value, AI-based innovation, and data foundations.
