14th Annual MIT CDOIQ Symposium Postponed
|
|
Due to the current circumstances surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the decision to tentatively postpone the Symposium until the week of August 17, 2020.
We are sure you, like us, are having growing concerns in regards to the impact of COVID-19 on our day to day lives. It’s difficult to tell when this will end, but due to the amount of planning that goes into this event, we believe it’s in all of our best interest to postpone, in order to avoid a possible cancellation if we don’t.
Please know that we are closely monitoring Federal, State and Local news, as well as
MIT Policies and Guidelines
regarding travel, events and visitors.
Be prepared to update your calendars to
August 18 – 20, 2020.
We will be sure to let you know as soon as we have final confirmation!
Stay healthy and safe!

An Emerging Consensus Among Chief Data Officers
|

By Thomas H. Davenport & Randy Bean

Several times a year, NewVantage Partners (NVP) convenes a breakfast meeting of senior and business and technology executives with responsibility for data to discuss key issues in the field.
Over time, the attendees have increasingly been Chief Data Officers. Several of the discussion topics addressed the relationship between data management and analytics/data science/AI.
One credit card CDO had a general rule of thumb: “centralize data, decentralize analytics.”

Companies Are Failing in Their Efforts to Become Data-Driven
|
|
By Randy Bean & Thomas H. Davenport

Becoming “data-driven” has been a commonly professed objective for many firms over the past decade or so. Whether their larger goal is to achieve digital transformation, “compete on analytics,” or become “AI-first,” embracing and successfully managing data in all its forms is an essential prerequisite. Consistent with these goals, companies have attempted to treat data as an important asset, evolve their cultures in a more data-oriented direction, and adjust their strategies to emphasize data and analytics.
We knew that progress toward these data-oriented goals was painfully slow, but the situation now appears worse. Leading corporations seem to be failing in their efforts to become data-driven. This is a central and alarming finding of NewVantage Partners’
2019 Big Data and AI Executive Survey
, published earlier this month. The survey participants comprised 64 c-level technology and business executives representing very large corporations such as American Express, Ford Motor, General Electric, General Motors, and Johnson & Johnson.
