UK & Ireland CDAO Inner Circle

For decades, business leaders have made decisions through more traditional means, based on a handful of factors or a gut feeling. But in the age of big data, organisations are shifting towards advanced analytics for critical decision-making. In fact, according to Gartner, 70% of public companies that outperform competitors on key financial metrics will report being data-and-analytics-centric by 2025. To establish a data-driven culture, CDAOs must show ROI by linking their data strategy to the business strategy, upskilling the workforce to be data-literate, establishing a framework of connected governance and prototyping use cases that advance mission-critical priorities.

In this interactive conversation, CDAOs will discuss their role in proactively contributing to analytics-based decision-making.
