In today’s challenging times Enterprises need to access and leverage data in order to adapt to changes with ease and speed. The move to the new distributed workforce can be challenging, with complex operational decisions to be made.
Business leaders around the world are now accelerating the move to digital operations, but need support to build a data-driven culture so they can leverage and access information to answer urgent questions.
A real, sustainable step change comes from the top down. HBR suggests that business leaders should become a visible data-champion and if feasible, appoint a specific person to the role of Chief Data Officer.
