In my opinion, any organisation with respect for its data should have a Chief Data & Analytics Officer (CDAO) as part of their C-suite.
Although the CDAO role is still nascent, business leaders across many industries are starting to appreciate the need for a data and analytics voice at board and executive level.
So, what does a CDAO do?
How should they spend their time to balance strategic influence with operational delivery of data products?
To answer these questions and many more related to the principal analytics role, I recently spoke to Kshira Saagar, who is the Chief Data Officer at Latitude Financial.
As the CDO at one of Australia’s largest consumer financial services firms, Kshira is responsible for the end-to-end journey of data through the organisation, from extraction to value creation through data products.
He leads a large team of Data Scientists, Data analysts, Data Architects, Data Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Warehouse Developers, BI Developers and Data Governance experts, who are responsible for bringing the company’s data and analytics strategy to life.
In this episode of Leaders of Analytics, we discuss:
- What a week in the role of a CDAO looks like
- How to secure strategic support and executive sponsorship for analytics projects
- What’s required of CDAOs and their teams to foster a data literate organisation
- How to structure data and analytics functions for success
- The future of the CDAO role, and much more.
