Chief Data Officer Study

Over the past decade, data has begun to transform every area of social, economic and corporate life. Against this background, a new senior executive role has emerged over the past five years – the Chief Data Officer (CDO).

To understand the situation better, we have conducted a detailed, quantitative study of the prevalence and role of CDOs at the world’s 2,500 largest publicly listed companies. We defined CDOs as a single person at C-suite level or one level below, with responsibility for the company’s strategic approach to data.

Based on the results of this study, we recommend that companies should address a series of critical questions, regardless of whether they have already appointed a CDO or are just examining how to define this role.

Register now to find out what companies need to do in order to capitalize on the data revolution before it has truly begun.
