Aligning data strategy with business goals: A playbook for Chief Data Officers
Chief Data Officers (CDOs) are at the forefront of maximizing how businesses use and benefit from their growing volumes of data. However, the role is complex, requiring a mix of skills and strategies, while organizational expectations are high.
Our new CDO playbook covers key areas to focus on to deliver success, including: ⚡How to demonstrate business value from your strategy ⚡Optimizing your data stack to increase sharing ⚡Delivering improved governance and greater efficiency.
Data Consumption at Scale: Delivering a single source of truth
To successfully share data across the organization, you need to ensure that it is reliable and trusted.
That means there has to be a single source of truth to avoid inaccuracies and inconsistencies, delivered through strong governance processes, secure access, and engagement with all business departments..
This quest for the golden record—unique, reliable, verified, and unambiguous data—forms the foundation for driving widespread data consumption. Why is this vital? A single source of truth eliminates duplication and inconsistencies, ensuring that all stakeholders rely on the same information. The outcome is a lower risk of errors, less siloed information, and optimized decision-making processes. Today, data leaders want to create a single, high-value data source. This requires robust tools to manage and share information. Imagine a spaceship... Your data catalog serves as the first stage for lift-off by inventorying your data, ensuring its integrity and traceability. But to reach the stars, you also need a booster rocket: the data marketplace, which manages data access while providing visibility and value across the entire organization. With this combination, you shift from static and inaccessible data management to dynamic usage focused on reuse and value creation. According to Forrester, companies that adopt a centralized and coherent approach to data governance see a 15% increase in productivity. By combining the data catalog and data marketplace, you create an ecosystem where data, as fuel, accelerates your business forward to meet your objectives.
