It’s taken some time, but CIOs and CDOs (chief data officers) now understand the need for a strong working relationship. Data has become the driver behind digital transformation and better business decision-making. For CDOs and CIOs to succeed, they must succeed together. To get this partnership right will in part require CDO reporting and chartering and the creation of shared goals, objectives and key results (OKRs) and key performance indicators (KPIs).
CIOs and CDOs Find the Path to Work Together
CDOs have been around nearly 10 years. Half of the Global 500 have a CDO and they are found in more than half of state governments in the United States as well as key elements of the Federal Government — including being mandated by the Department of Defense.
