What Participants Say

The program helped me develop and tune my thinking on how best to lead data value initiatives in organizations. As an adviser / strategist during the program, it helped me recommend best practices and guide my customers to plan and execute their data strategies. Toward the end of the program, the insights I learned helped me secure a new role as CIO with responsibility for the data organization. I recommend the program to anyone with a goal to achieve executive level responsibility to lead their organization’s data value initiatives.

I think the program was very good in terms of the quality of the content presented by the different instructors. The content was diverse and covered the top topics a Chief Data Officer has to be aware of. Nevertheless, I realize that there are many flavors of CDOs and that every industry and company will use that role differently. What I liked is the fact that we have covered the foundations of Data Governance, Data Quality, and have had the opportunity to experiment with some AI tools.
