Abstract: Data monetization—the direct or indirect conversion of data and analytics into financial returns—represents a key source of economic value for companies in the digital economy. This briefing draws on findings from an MIT CISR data monetization survey of 315 executives, sharing insights regarding the current state of data monetization capabilities and their impact on data monetization performance. The briefing explains that data monetization capabilities are evolutionary and specific to the monetization approach, which means that digital leaders must be persistent and purposed as they make capability investments.
