CDO Practice

Course Overview

We cover four key steps — clarifying business value opportunities, assessing capability maturity gaps, developing a transformation strategy with an 18-month roadmap, and fostering organizational adoption and a data-driven culture — illustrated by a longitudinal case study. The course also covers the Enterprise Knowledge Governance Framework and Data Liquidity principles, strategies to address the 'Tragedy of the Data Commons,' and two practicum sessions applying the Vistage Issue Processing Hourglass method to resolve participants' real organizational challenges.
