It’s become popular and almost cliché for CIOs, chief data officers, and IT leaders to proclaim the need to transform into a data-driven organization. We want leaders to leverage data and analytics in their decision making instead of the loudest or most experienced executives asserting decisions based on intuition and bias. We recognize that data is the new oil and that our businesses need to compete and differentiate with customer-facing, operational, and predictive analytics. Lastly, we know that data is a critical asset that must be managed, protected, and leveraged appropriately while still democratizing data so that there is increased utilization across the organization.
