CDO vs. CAO - What’s the Difference?

DATE: July 5, 2018

TIME: 2 PM Eastern / 11 AM Pacific

PRICE: Free to all attendees

About the Webinar

At one time, there were well-stated distinctions between the Chief Data Officer and Chief Analytics Officer roles. But not today. In some organizations, this role confusion actually causes serious concerns.

John and Kelle will revisit the definitions, suggest where lack of clarity first began, and discuss how best to manage the role distinctions going forward.

This webinar will address:

  • Differences in the CAO and CDO roles
  • CDOs who aren’t responsible for all organizational data
  • Why role clarity matters
  • Organizational success without one or both roles
