Gartner Priorities Navigator™ for CDAOs

Gartner provides insight, tools and guidance to support four key needs of CDAOs: lead a word-class D&A organization, drive quantifiable value with D&A solutions for the business, build trust and mature D&A culture, and evolve technology and process capabilities to support D&A.

Data & Analytics questions Gartner can help answer
How should chief data and analytics officers (CDAOs) update their data and analytics (D&A) strategy to address generative AI (GenAI)?
Explore what de facto work has already taken place in the organization on GenAI, by whom, and its intended purpose.
Evaluate how GenAI both supports and poses risk to your organization’s data-driven vision by understanding its impact on your business model, digital transformation agenda and information culture.
Innovate through your D&A strategy by understanding the various use cases, and analyze how your value propositions and initiative portfolio can exploit GenAI.
How do CDAOs align D&A strategy with corporate goals and gain C-level trust and buy-in?
Become well-versed in the corporate strategy and business drivers by collaborating with peers and business leaders.
Align your D&A strategy and vision with the priorities of the CEO and operational leaders across the organization by using a transparent decision and prioritization process.
Use storytelling, explaining both the tangible and intangible value of D&A, to gain buy-in and build trust among C-level executives and stakeholders.
How can CDAOs create a strong brand for their role?
Clarify the mission and role of the CDAO, and establish a personal brand that spans technology and business. (Why)
Differentiate and clarify their place on the executive team. (Who)
Bring all D&A initiatives under a single leadership with authority over both business and IT resources. The CDAO’s role and departmental mission must distinguish itself as a critical business enabler rather than an internal support function. (What)
Show the relationship as a translator between elements of the business and the technology function, focusing on outcomes enabled by data. (How)
