Today's CDAO needs to be more than an D&A subject matter expert and evangelist. Being regarded as a thought leader by your team, your organization's stakeholders and even within your industry and profession has become essential to achieving goals in driving the data driven organization. 

What is a Thought Leader?

A thought leader rises above the tools, solutions and services to provide true vision, insight and direction to their team, the business and their profession. A thought leader has credibility and influence that is fundamentally grounded in collegial and stakeholder respect and trust. A thought leader is regarded as a critical resource, not only to the business but to the industry itself.
