Driving Improved Decision-Making Through Data-Centric Business Intelligence

Considering the progressive impact and significance of data in business environments throughout the past decade, the Chief Data Officer has emerged as the “New Business Thought Leader” charged with unlocking the true value of data as a strategic asset. By 2015, it is forecast that 25% of Fortune 500 companies, across all industries, will have CDOs employed*. Despite their rising significance, the role of Chief Data Officer remains ambiguous with ill-defined responsibilities.

Accountable for striking the balance between technology & strategy, CDOs face challenges as complex as the data they manage, and although in dire need, the role of CDO has little uniformity from organization to organization. Difficulties when securing buy-in, as well as a voice at the executive table and adhering to increasingly stringent regulatory demands, serve as additional hurdles when leveraging information as a key business asset.

Nevertheless, IQPC is gathering Data-Strategy & Business Intelligence experts from across progressive industries to offer you the actionable intelligence you need!

Structured similar to an executive roundtable, IQPC’s inaugural Chief Data Strategy Forum 2015taking place this March 30th & 31st in Boston will be set within an intimate atmosphere in order to openly discuss, debate, and provide you with pragmatic strategies that you can take home and utilize within your own organization.
