Washington, DC CDO Virtual Executive Summit

Enterprise expectations for data and analytics to power business ambitions continues to rise, requiring effective governance foundations. However, current governance capabilities often fall short of what organizations need. To scale business-relevant governance initiatives, D&A leaders must address evolving requirements while ensuring a scalable and adaptive governance as part of the operating model.

In this session you will discuss:

• Creating compelling business use cases to ensure stakeholders understand the role governance plays in achieving business outcomes
• Strategies for approaching governance holistically by using adaptive frameworks to enable application of different governance styles for various business scenarios
• Designing a trust-based adaptive governance as part of the business operating model

Today’s enterprise has access to endless amounts of data, and CDOs are challenged to continually find true meaning and value from the river of information. This peer discussion will consider ways to mature your data and analytics program and strategically use the flow of data to align with the overall enterprise objectives.

Come ready to discuss how to:

• Implement data strategies that align with desired business outcomes
• Leverage data to gain greater insights and drive value
• Define clear metrics to help measure the impact of the D&A program

As data & analytics leaders, it's your role to work consistently and relentlessly to get data explicitly onto the business and personal agendas – stakeholder group by stakeholder group. Leading by example, leveraging storytelling to build business cases, and encouraging data fanatics are some philosophies around building a data literate and data-drive enterprise.

In this session, we'll discuss:

• Philosophies on educating your organization to become data literate
• Approaches to mitigate cultural challenges resistant to change
