Key Takeaways
'We know from our chief data officer research and surveys that data and analytics leaders that are involved in strategy development are able to deliver far more business value than those who aren't.'
'Data and analytics leaders struggle to optimize business value, and there's often a lack of alignment to mission-critical priorities.'
'You as data and analytics leaders need to function as your organization's 'chief value officers.''
'The ROAR (Risk, Opportunity, Appetite, and Return) Model gives you a systematic way to score both benefits and risks for each initiative and then think about the combination of those initiatives in terms of an optimal portfolio.'
'While we have models that can help you think through and prioritize, it's what goes behind those models that's important. Thinking trumps doing.'
'Optimizing value from data and analytics is a continuous process. It's not just a once a year activity, it's not just a quarterly activity - you need to think about it as central to everything else that you manage.'
