When data is treated as technology, what inevitably happens is the business no longer feels like they own it—and it starts doing its own thing.
Now, rather than having a centralized depository of company data, you have a shantytown of data across your organization with everybody grasping onto their own departmental shards of information.
How do you escape a data shantytown?
In this episode, Anand Pandya, Chief Data Officer at Curinos, explains why treating data as a business-owned asset will help you break free of the dreaded data shantytown.
We discuss:
The benefits of a consultative approach
Why data needs to be seen as a business-owned asset
Why a CDO’s job is to answer the question, “now what?”
The importance of tying data professionals into the lifecycle of data
