Description:

The emergence of Chief Data Officers(CDO) demonstrates the growing recognition of information as an asset. In fact, Gartner says that 90% of large organizations will have a CDO by 2019.

To understand the CDO role more deeply, I turned to Richard Wendell.

I met Mr. Wendell last year at the Chief Data Officer Summit and thought his background and expertise would help us understand the critical role a CDO plays in managing an organization’s data.

Mr. Wendell is a is a founding Member of the Board of Directors of MIT’s International Society for Chief Data Officers (ISCDO). Under his leadership, he has helped create and shape the de facto community of senior executives responsible for maximizing the opportunities in data-driven decision making. Prior to ISCDO, Mr. Wendell spent two and a half years as the Vice President of Data Science and Strategic Analytics for Tyco Electronics.

In this first part in a series of podcasts, Mr. Wendell defines the role of a CDO, the value a CDO brings to an organization and what a CDO needs to do in order to thrive.
