Arrayo spoke with industry executives and experts about the keys to success in data governance. We talked to Chief Data Officers, Chief Digital Officers, Chief Financial Officers, and experts in finance, pharma, biotech and healthcare. Our mission was to find the answer to one simple question: what works?  Everyone we interviewed wants to implement a robust data strategy, but how to get there and how to find the right balance between data defense and data offense is the challenge.  In this paper, we present a series of ideas to help you refocus the function of the data office from a tactical solutions provider towards a more strategic enabler.  This is the second installment of Arrayo’s five-part publication series on cross-industry data strategy.
