Virtual Briefing: How D&A Leaders Can Navigate Emerging Trends & Challenges in 2025

The role of the chief data and analytics officer (CDAO) continues to evolve, and creating business value through data and analytics (D&A) is consistently a top mandate. Plus, as AI becomes a priority for most organizations, the CDAO and the D&A team become pivotal to their organization’s success now more than ever. CDAOs and data and analytics leaders must elevate their leadership and influence to navigate new complex executive dynamics and collaborate across IT and business leaders. So, how can D&A leaders prioritize and respond to emerging trends to maximize value and mitigate risks in their organizations? What challenges may arise as you navigate working across IT and the business?

Join this invitation-only, complimentary virtual briefing as Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst and Chief of Research Rita Sallam delves into how you as a D&A leader can succeed in the face of technology and leadership challenges. You’ll gain insight from one of the most popular Gartner research presentations that is curated specifically for your role and mission critical priorities. Then, to help you understand how Gartner enables you to turn this insight into action, this presentation will be followed by exclusive guidance from a former data and analytics leader, Timothy Kropp, now Gartner Executive Partner (EP). EPs are responsible for helping executives, like you, achieve their mission-critical priorities with contextualized and personalized advice based on their experience and understanding of your role. You will hear examples from those executives to inspire how you can navigate the changing environment in 2025. Plus, you will gain insight and inspiration from a peer interview, receive a copy of the presentation slides, get answers to your questions and learn about tools that can help you make progress on your initiatives.
