How to make your CDO a triple threat

We talk to a lot of organisations about what makes their data function successful. Nearly always the same three things get mentioned: leadership, culture and technology.

Recognition of the first of these has been a highlight of our year for the last decade via the DataIQ 100, whose new iteration we have just launched. Surfacing the challenges of building a data culture, our new report reveals the successes (and missteps) faced by our community. But perhaps the most disruptive factor right now is the push to adopt generative AI – you can find a few tips for quick wins and also a strong steer on controlling costs below. Of course, to win with AI, data needs a strong relationship with IT – we want to know how you create that via our new survey. Bring all three things together and your CDO will be a triple threat (and a strong candidate for next year’s 100, too)!?

3 reasons why nobody is talking about the cost of generative AI.

What is beginning to dawn on chief data officers, chief information officers and chief technology officers is that genAI represents a triple threat to their budgets.

In a new article, 3 reasons why nobody is talking about the cost of generative AI, David Reed dives into the financial side of generative AI.

What are the quick generative AI wins for the data office?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is entering a new lease of life and has shown huge potential to drastically alter business operations, but the difficulty is getting the correct AI tools integrated in the right way and being able to highlight the benefits they bring immediately. As data leaders know, it can often take months or even years to be able to demonstrate the value of data and return on investment (ROI).

National sustainability and preparing for the unexpected.

In just the last four years, every-day people have had to handle a global pandemic, ruptured global supply chains, and international wars that have vastly disrupted energy supplies and radically impacted costs.

Behind the disruption and positive changes are data leaders and DataIQ members like Martin Aylward, head of data and CRM, EDF, determined to ensure people have access to energy and that ambitious environmental targets are achieved.

The DataIQ 100 Success Series: EDF explores what data leaders need to succeed and how investment in data teams can provide extreme unseen wins.
