Of the 66 articles published in September on CDAOs that we tracked, we enjoyed this on “The Evolution of the Chief Data Officer“ by CMS Wire’s Dom Nicastro, and we hope you enjoy it too.

It included some quotes from Aaron Kalb, Chief Data Analytics Officer at Alation, which we excerpted below:

“Aaron Kalb, chief data officer at data catalog and governance provider Alation of Redwood City, Calif., said the charter of his CDO office is to refine raw data into value-added information assets — views, dashboards and machine learning models — in addition to providing measurement and insights to colleagues so they can optimize daily decisions and strategic choices. He also has a mandate to empower teams both with education and self-service resources so they can interpret and analyze data effectively and autonomously.

As chief data officer, Kalb said his job is to instill and enable a data culture. There are also opportunities to network and build relationships with CDOs across his company’s customer base.

“We are a data company,” he said, “and we’ve created a data culture by practicing what we preach. We use data as optimally as possible and encourage our teams to implement data-driven, evidence-based, decision-making processes across everything they do.”

According to the Informatica-IDC study, 80% of CDOs’ top KPIs are tied to business goals such as operational efficiency, customer satisfaction and success, data privacy and protection, innovation and revenue and productivity and capacity.

That seems like a practical outcome: tying a data leader’s role into a business objective.”
