Opening Panel Discussion

8:40 am - 9:15 am Managing and Measuring Data Quality from Widely Distributed Locations

Data is a company’s strategic asset and needs to be treated as such. It is critical to ensure consumers of corporate data have the highest level of confidence in it. The questions we need to ask ourselves are - Do we treat data as a strategic asset? Are we making the right investments to define data quality requirements? Do we proactively monitor the quality of business-critical data and manage quality throughout the enterprise value chain? Addressing these fundamental questions is critical for companies that wish to prosper in the 21st century.  

• Data as a strategic asset

• Evaluating the dimensions of data quality at enterprise scale

• Implementing holistic data quality controls

• Collaboration across silos to drive data quality

• Making data quality a board and C-level issue


Keynote

9:15 am - 9:45 am Maximizing BI Engagement by Aligning your BI and Data Governance Strategies

”Through 2025, 80% of organizations seeking to scale digital business will fail because they do not take a modern approach to data and analytics governance.” Gartner In most organizations the scope of governance strategies is incorrect. There is a misalignment between data governance and BI initiatives. Data governance needs to be paired with BI and Analytics Governance to have an effective governance strategy. The keynote addresses the key BI governance challenges and share some practical approaches to tackling them.

• Effective content publishing workflows

• Certification of BI assets

• Metadata management

• Data quality and communication

• Measurement and compliance

Closed Door Boardrooms

Boardroom A

10:50 am - 11:50 am Scaling Data Literacy and Self Service Across a Global Organization

On the road to self-service data literacy, upskilling and talent development are often cited as being one of the biggest hurdles D&A leaders need to overcome to be able to move forward and achieve their goals.  

Driving a data-driven culture and fostering data literacy is at the top of most CDAO’s priorities, and never has this challenge has been as acute as it is for a leader of a global enterprise. This closed-door boardroom 

discussion will focus on sharing what has worked and what has not and allow community members to explore ways you can collaborate to improve data literacy and talent across a widely dispersed organization.

• Examine the opportunities and challenges for data democratization in your global enterprise

• Taking a global and localized approach to upskilling and talent development

• Driving a global data-driven culture that is regionally responsive

• Closing the gap between self-sufficiency over self-service for your global workforce

• Identifying your global stakeholders and influencers to drive data literacy and culture

Boardroom B

10:50 am - 11:50 am Engaging the C-Suite and the Board in Data Strategy

Recently C-suite and Boards’ mindsets have shifted from viewing data as a tactical tool to now embracing data as the path to strategic transformation and competitive advantage. They realize that those who leverage data strategically will be tomorrow’s market leaders. CDAO’s no longer need to impart the critical importance of data, now they are challenged with decision makers that don’t necessarily have the cultural maturity to use data to make decisions and drive business goals. Engaging and getting buy in from both the C-suite and the Board is foundational to the success of your strategy. Join your peers in this closed-door private conversation among others who have similar challenges to discuss:

• Concerns of the C-suite and Board regarding data

• Assessing data maturity within the organization to develop your roadmap to engage

• Crafting the business case for your data strategy that addresses stakeholder objectives and challenges

• Researching the board to craft your communication strategy

• Developing an elevator pitch tailored to each stakeholder and member of the C-suite

• Creating internal alliances and advocates to support your data strategy

• Steps and tips to gain support and trust and how to handle push back 

CDAO Collaboration Corner

11:55 am - 12:30 pm Staying Accountable After the Conference

Like Collaboration Corners, Accountability Corners are community and peer-driven. This important closing session is designed so that you don’t let everything you’ve learned be forgotten and shoved aside when you return to the day-to-day life of a D&A Leader. Join this closing peer-driven corner where you will be partnered with a community peer - either one you identify yourself or one we find for you – to go beyond collaboration to actual accountability. During this session, you will share your key takeaways, create your action plan and to-do list and then schedule a follow-up meeting with your peer to ensure you remain accountable and get the most value from your Exchange experience.
