Atlanta CDAO Community
Executive Summit

A healthy focus on data is necessary for organizations hoping to re-engineer decision making to operate efficiently, while maximizing effectiveness. For Chick-fil-A, efficiency isn’t a new idea, but its focus on data and analytics is rapidly evolving as the company works to build and scale analytic capabilities that enable enterprise business strategies.

Join this session as Chick-fil-A’s Enterprise Analytics team shares how they’re:

• Re-shaping data culture by leveling-up data literacy
• Iterating and enhancing analytics to deliver more value to internal and external customers
• Promoting data strategy to build advocacy from stakeholders

Over the last couple of years, the role of data has changed. To enterprise leaders, data is no longer just supportive, it’s an asset. To propel the business forward and remove digital business roadblocks, data and analytics leaders should set a robust data strategy to enable digital acceleration.

Join this session as Essilor of America's D&A leader, Farukh Lakhani, shares how they've:

• Created a data-centric vision for the enterprise that’s sustainable and scalable
• Built and executed a data strategy that was achievable to enable digital transformation
• Navigated through challenges with People, Process, and Technology

Data and analytics leaders are forever under pressure to deliver increasing value from the data assets under their care. However, an increasing number of regulations limit their options to leverage data. Governance is necessary. Leaders who deftly weave compliance into their data management practices can change the perception of governance from rigid practice to strategic business enabler.

Join this session as BigID's Field CTO, Christopher Glover, shares strategies to:

• Enable a culture of data innovation while meeting compliance requirements
• Extend the use of 1st-party data to enhance the customer experience
• Create internal data marketplaces that expand the use of data in the organization

In the same way a nail is useless without a hammer, data resources cannot be optimized without a team that is eager to integrate those practices into their workflow. Leading the charge toward data literacy and maturity must incorporate a top-down approach that fosters teamwork and alignment.

Join your fellow CDOs to discuss:

• What has, or hasn't, worked to promote employee buy-in around advanced analytics 
• How the organization of your D&A team can impact data maturity
• How to institutionalize best practices for analytics

Not only did the way of working change as a result of the pandemic; the talent landscape has never been more competitive. Data has quickly become a core competent in organizational decision-making for the future. To attract and retain quality candidates, organizations must create a culture that puts people first.

• Reimagine and redesign data roles to adapt to a quickly shifting marketplace
• Build loyalty and increase retention by allowing employees to play key roles in growth and innovation

Governing data and analytics isn't a new practice, but the way leaders are thinking about it is changing. To enable a more agile organization centered around data, D&A leaders must adopt an adaptive governance strategy.
