Thought Leadership

Speaking Opportunities

Become a Thought Leader in Data & Analytics

Today’s CDAO needs to be more than a data and analytics subject matter expert and evangelist. Being regarded as a thought leader by your team, your organization’s stakeholders and even within your industry and profession has become essential to achieving goals in driving the data driven organization.

What is a Thought Leader? A thought leader rises above the tools, solutions and services to provide true vision, insight and direction to their team, the business and their profession. A thought leader has credibility and influence that is fundamentally grounded in collegial and stakeholder respect and trust. A thought leader is regarded as a critical resource, not only to the business but to the industry itself.

Becoming a D&A Thought Leader: As your organization’s data and analytics leader, the CDAO Exchange is here to support you along your thought leadership journey, by providing you with opportunities to lead important industry discussions, share your perspective on some of the profession’s biggest challenges and influence the direction of the CDAO role within the organization and the industry itself.

Become a Thought Leader by:

• Leading a CDAO community discussion

• Presenting on a topic or case study

• Participating in a panel discussion

• Facilitating a masterclass

Yum! Brands, Chief Data Officer: It's a Data Treasure Trove; We're Piecing It Together and Making Sense of It

Cameron Davies, Chief Data Officer, Yum! Brands, talks with Mitchell Roberts, Manager Marketing and Business Development, Triple Blind, about Yum! Brands' vast worldwide market reach in over 150 countries with over 50,000 stores, and its implications for managing data and analytics. At the local level, these brands have over 2000 franchisees who own 98 percent of the locations, implying that these franchise stores employ approximately 1.5 million people worldwide. Considering the data received every day from these franchises, the business structure at Yum! Brands is complex yet full of opportunity. Davies defines the CDO's difficult responsibilities at the regional and global levels. At the regional level, priorities are more distinct and focused. We understand where the data is, how it flows, and so on. A chief data officer with a regional specialization may make all of the decisions, such as what to do with the data, and what to do with the analytics. However, if you reach the level of global CDO, the nature of the job changes completely. It's no longer about controlling anything; it's all about influence, relationships, and how to get the job done. The focus must be razor sharp. At this level, the job requires more of an influencer or expert delegator who ensures that people make the appropriate decisions.

In this article, Mir Ali, Head of Engineering at Kraft Heinz Company discusses how your organization can use data to give itself an advantage over the competition.

Levi Strauss Chief Global Strategy and AI Officer: Artificial Intelligence Cannot Exist Without Humans Until AI Generates AI

Katia Walsh, PhD, Chief Global Strategy and AI Officer at Levi Strauss, one of the world's first chief data and analytics officers, in discussion with Baz Khuti, Modak's President US. Humans are still the most crucial component of digital data and AI capabilities, and the most significant component of developing global digital data and AI competencies is that they're part of an organization's vision and priorities. She further added that she enjoys discovering talent. In a global organization, finding people from across the company, across numerous functions around the world, and bringing them together is an exciting task.
