Many organizations aim to be data-driven, but for CDAOs to contribute effectively, their data, analytics, and AI strategies must be directly linked to tangible business results. While this alignment can be challenging, CDAOs should focus on becoming influential business leaders who can extend their impact beyond the traditional data domain.
Join this discussion to explore how to develop a strategy to effectively leverage D&A and AI capabilities to achieve business outcomes.
- Who are the key stakeholders impacted by your organization's D&A strategy, and how are you involving them in strategy development?
- How are you ensuring that your D&A strategy remains resilient and adaptable to emerging technologies and shifting market conditions?
- How are you communicating the value and purpose of your D&A strategy across the organization?
- How are you aligning your D&A strategy with specific business outcomes, such as revenue growth, cost reduction, or customer acquisition?
- How can D&A leaders evolve to reframe data strategy goals in terms of business outcomes rather than projects or milestones?
