The desire to become more data driven inspired the Department for Education to hire Neil McIvor as their first formal CDO.
Heading up the data activity for this organization starting to view data as a scalable asset rather than a siloed asset, Neil shares his joy of shaping the role as well as some challenges and also what to avoid!
- Defining the role of CDO in an organisation which has never had one
- Ensuring all business areas which can benefit from data and analytics do
- How to structure an organisation to best facilitate optimal impact by adhering less to a vertical silo structure?
- Spreading awareness whilst staying realistic – what data and analytics can and can’t do
