Written by two practicing CDOs, this new book offers a jargon-free, practical guide to making better decisions based on data. Content covered includes: why does any organisation need a CDO? the secret ingredients of the successful CDO; avoiding the hype cycle building the CDO team; who leads the technology? the CDO and data governance: enablement not red tape. This book will offer key insights and essential knowledge for CDOs looking to understand their position better; aspiring CDOs and data officers looking at career progression, those recruiting CDOs, and anyone else operating in the current data environment."--, Provided by publisher
