We're excited to share insights from a new global study on the key priorities, challenges, and drivers for success for contemporary CDOs (https://aws.amazon.com/data/cdo-report/).

Sponsored by AWS, this study was conducted by Tom Davenport in partnership with the MIT CDOIQ. We found evidence of a dramatic shift since the early days of the role – CDOs are increasingly coming from business background and focused on offense-oriented rather than defensive initiatives. The most effective CDOs are focused on creating demonstrable value for their organizations, which typically involves a focus on important use cases, the management of data products, and building analytics and AI infrastructures to help scale data projects.
