Description

Globally, there has been a significant rise in the appointments of Chief Data Officers (CDOs). This is a result of data becoming an increasingly important strategic asset to businesses and public authorities. It is the CDO’s duty to manage this enterprise-wide data and ensure that it is utilised to drive revenue, create new business opportunities and cut unnecessary costs. Essentially, to monetise data.

Not only is the CDO’s position within the C-Level chain of command varied per organisation and at times, ambiguous, they also face the difficulty of striking the balance between IT and business; technology and strategy. Moreover, CDOs are being readily challenged by the ability to keep data management costs low, adhere to increasingly stringent regulatory demands and produce results and analysis of value to their organisation, and getting their voices heard in the boardroom amid the web of C-Level executives and business politics.

Corinium Intelligence will be launching the internationally acclaimed CDO Forum in South Africa in 2016. This is based on research that indicates that South African organisations have taken notice of the importance not only of data within their organisations but the importance of having a leader take charge of that data.
