The issues and profession of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) are of significant interest and relevance to organisations and data professionals internationally. Written by two practicing CDOs, this book offers a practical, direct and engaging discussion of the role, its place and importance within organisations.


Chief Data Officer is a new and rapidly expanding role and many organisations are finding that it is an uncomfortable fit into the existing C-suite. Bringing together views, opinions and practitioners experience for the first time, The Chief Data Officer's Playbook offers a compelling guide to anyone looking to understand the current (and possible future) CDO landscape.


Content covered includes:


  • why does any organisation need a CDO?

  • the secret ingredients of the successful CDO

  • avoiding the hype cycle

  • the CDO place in the C-suite

  • building the CDO team

  • the CDO and technology

  • enablement not red tape

  • advice to give the business owners.

This book will offer key insight for CDOs looking to understand their position better, for aspiring CDOs and data officers looking at career progression, for those recruiting CDOs, and anyone else looking to understand the CDO landscape.

Industry Reviews

Without any doubt, this playbook is a must read for the primary audience, the CDOs. In my opinion, it is equally a must read for the secondary audience, the C-Suite, for the insight on how the role complements their businesses. -- Sham Kashikar
