To achieve data's full organizational value, there must be dedicated individual to leverage data as assets - a Chief Data Officer or CDO who's three job pillars are: Dedication solely to leveraging data assets, Unconstrained by an IT project mindset, and Reports directly to the business Once these three pillars are set into place, organizations can leverage their data assets.
