Evolving role of the Chief Data Officer
--:--
The pandemic has hastened digital change, putting the value of data at the top of boardroom agendas throughout all sectors and businesses. Just yesterday Capitec CEO Gerrie Fourie was waxing lyrical about how important data is to the bank and how he’s lifted and shifted key systems into the cloud.
But in a world filled with a seemingly limitless amount of data, what is the optimal role of the chief data officer, which seems increasingly critical for organizations of all sizes.
The CDO role has expanded in recent years, found an IDC report on the state of the chief data officer, based on a survey of 1,291 global organizations.
CDOs in the past had mostly been focused on data governance and compliance, but now are also responsible for helping organizations use data to improve business operations.
So how are we to think about and utilize this data revolution to our advantage as business and broader society?
