How CIOs Can Position D&A Initiatives to Drive Measurable Business Outcomes

According to the 2024 Gartner CIO Agenda survey, 80% of CIOs have expanded their role, with 18% leading non-IT functions. CEOs and business leaders are now calling for development and operation of technology within all business functions. However, according to Gartner, 27% of chief data analytics officers (CDAOs) say that the lack of business stakeholder involvement and support is the most pressing challenge they face. In order for CIOs to drive a modern and actionable D&A strategy to set the right foundations and deliver business outcomes, they need to elevate the CIO-CDAO relationship. Doing so will help establish an agreed upon vision and scope for D&A with your CDAO, identify challenges and develop a partnership by focusing on business enablement and technology innovation. So, how do you create a realistic and effective data and analytics strategy aligned to business goals, stakeholders and use cases?

In this unique complimentary webinar, part 3 of a 5-part series, a panel of former senior IT executives, now Gartner Executive Partners, will provide practical guidance on how a CIO can position D&A initiatives to drive measurable business outcomes in their organization. We’ll address one of the top 5 questions CIOs are asking, which is: How do I create a realistic and effective data analytics strategy aligned to business goals, stakeholders and use cases? You’ll gain guidance into how these Executive Partners coach and advise CIOs, like you, on accelerating decision making with augmented analytics by outlining the workshops, tools and resources that can help you on your journey.
