About the Webinar

The recent emergence of the Chief Data Officer as a C-level role has created a surprising amount of discussion and debate. Initially prominent in the financial services industry, CDOs are now being appointed in industries as diverse as Federal Government, data services, advertising, city government, insurance, pharmaceuticals and internet start-ups.  Our conversation during this webinar will focus on the issues of structure, roles, reporting relationships, and how the CDO office works with other parts of the organization.  Topics include:

• What motivates an organization to create the role of CDO?
• What responsibilities does it have?
  • eg. Governance? Analytics? Development? Architecture?
• To whom in the organization does the CDO report? Why was that reporting structure chosen?
• Does the office of CDO have a professional staff?
  • If yes, what other staff are managed by the CDO?
• How does the CDO influence the way data is managed in the organization?
  • Does the CDO provide guidelines, or issue standards and/or policies?
  • Does he/she provide expertise or shared services to other parts of the business?
• As a relatively new role, how has it evolved thus far? How will it evolve in future?
• Why is the CDO role so prominent within the financial services industry?
  • Why is it different in data services organizations?
  • Which model will other industries follow?
