With CDO’s and their teams enabling business success across every aspect of the business, has the time come for them to get a permanent seat at the table? With the average tenure of a CDO being around 2-3 years, proving value from the get-go is imperative. Join us as we explore if the time has come for CDO’s to step outside of operations or technology and be directly tied to the business. We will explore: 

• Ways to understand your business better to highlight the best actionable goals and objectives.  
• Creating roadmaps to success for each data team by connecting them with the appropriate business counterpart. 
• Creating an environment of proactivity for finding and addressing issues across the enterprise.  
• What being considered your own business team means for the hierarchy of reporting. 
• How AI is impacting the evolution of data analytics teams.  

It’s easy to get lost in the technicalities of data management and forget that people are at the heart of what we do. Join us for a conversation that touches on the human side of data management and dives into ways that leaders can think about their hiring and retention initiatives. Topics include:

• Attracting talent in a competitive market.
• Meeting the needs of an evolving profession.
• Helping leaders get ready for the next step in their careers. 

In this presentation, we’ll show you what is transferable to a non-profit mission driven organization from large, for-profit enterprises, and some unique tactics needed for a successful MDM implementation in these types of organizations. We'll discuss some of the benefits of smaller teams, as well as how to capitalize on the natural overlap not-for-profit organizations are most familiar with. Join us to see how an organization actually implemented MDM, and the actual impact that it had on their success.
