Leading Through Uncertainty - Path to the Next Normal
Hosted by Qlik
The overall business response to the pandemic put a spotlight on the growing value attributed to data-driven insights as businesses of all sizes accelerated their digital journeys. The role of a CDO in such situations is vital. As CDOs are tasked with driving initiatives forward to improve data governance, promote data literacy and create new data operating models; issues of culture and employee engagement through a prolonged stretch of remote work has created uncertainty of returning to the office.
Join this interactive session to discuss:
- Strategies to build employee well-being into the culture
- Creating connected teams in a hybrid environment
- Teaching self-service in a virtual environment
