The Changing Roles of the Chief Architect and the CIO

Three important findings have combined to motivate this topic:

  • #1 Poor data management performance to date (requires additional or difference effort)
  • #2 Recognition that data is not a project (requires a difference approach)
  • #3 Lack of domain expertise (requires different career preparation)

Combined these three findings require a new look at these roles.  This webinar will explore the role of a Chief Data Officer (CDO) as a function needed by organizations (especially state governments).  While we don’t yet have all the answers, we can at least lay out three necessary but insufficient prerequisites to making progress faster than we have achieved to date.
