CDAOs need to rapidly gain enterprise trust and establish themselves as critical business enablers. They must create a strong, differentiated and successful brand for the D&A function, in order to gain stakeholder buy-in and engagement.

Many CDAO were technical practitioners first but success as a CDAO requires an enhanced skill set of an elite executive. Many data functions operate as data order takers and service providers for their organization, restricting their influence and impact. This session examines the ways in which the CDAO and the data functions can elevate themselves into positions of power and influence.

This workshop is designed for first-time CDAOs and experienced CDAOs at a new company/industry. We will explore a framework to quickly enhance the impact you make as a CDAO. We will also focus on building your influence and brand, as well as strategies for engaging with stakeholders effectively.
