CDAOs are making investments daily. Perhaps you're looking to grow your team, or maybe making a technology investment to support GenAI, or another investment where you need to build buy-in and gain funding. This workshop will help you develop personal influence skills while also building a strong story for investment.

To position their teams as a must-have discipline that can fulfill cross-functional use cases, D&A leaders must optimize their organizational model. The optimal organizational model is one that balances enterprisewide capabilities focused on enablement with decentralized needs focused on outcomes. In this session you will learn the design principles behind the right D&A organizational model and how to balance a centralized team (focused on enablement) and decentralized needs (focused on outcomes).
