How Should CDOs Spend Their Time?

The timing and context will also dictate this to some degree. How a CDO chooses or sometimes more accurately is forced to spend their time can be dependent on some or all of those variables. But what is true is that there are some core overarching elements that every chief data officer should work towards in order to define and steer their strategy for success. So what does that look like? Well, it's the 40, 30, 20, 10 rule. That's what I think is a really nice split on how a CDO should spend their time.
