Applying old organizational models and methodologies to modern cloud technology won’t allow companies to achieve the kind of results and agility they expect.

In this session, we will explore:

  • The people, process and technology considerations in building a modern data strategy
  • Methods for driving agility across the business
  • Getting your teams into a data-first mindset

CDOs have a challenging dual mandate to manage corporate risk and accelerate growth using analytics.

During this executive-level presentation we will examine new, successful strategies that CDOs are using to partner with business stakeholders to embed governance as a part of the corporate culture.

Attendees will learn:

  • The top six modern data governance strategies
  • How an active data governance process is defined
