Hiring a Chief Data Officer

What is a Chief Data Officer, and how could your organization use one? In this audio-only course, Ben Sullins interviews Peter Nettesheim to help you understand the role of a Chief Data Officer and what a CDO can bring to your organization. Peter explains why a company needs to be data-focused and what the requirements for a CDO should be at a startup company versus at a more established company. He goes over how a CDO can oversee risk management vs. data governance, as well as what a CDO needs to do in order to succeed. Ben and Peter cover the importance of learning and developing a data strategy to get your company on track. They also go over how to enable innovation, avoid catastrophe, and deal with data silos and data warehousing. Plus, Ben and Peter discuss using APIs to improve data quality, authorizing changes to data structures, real-time analytics, and more.
