The Big Themes

CIO and CDO roles: When the roles of CIO and CDO are separate, each can have its own priorities. A strong collaboration between the two should be encouraged to help align these priorities and increase focus on what benefits the business, even if the timing of returns varies.

The Big Quote: "...I talk to all the business leaders [and ask things like] 'What is it about your business that bothers you, or you wish you could improve further?' I think you start with those kinds of statements. Because then you can quickly translate that back into a series of data fragments that. . . turn into metrics, get aggregated, and then finally get enabled to help the business leader with some stories."
