Across the U.S., Federal Government is seeking to harness the power of technology and innovation to help government better serve the American people. Using the power of data, Government is transforming at an increasing pace, enhancing the way we live today.
In recent months, there has been a significant rise in the appointments of Chief Data Officers (CDOs) across Government Departments and Agencies, as a result of data becoming an increasingly important strategic asset to public authorities.
It is the CDO’s duty to manage this government-wide data and ensure that it is utilized to transform the way Government delivers services to the people it serves.
However, not only is the CDO’s position within the C-Level chain of command varied across Government and at times, ambiguous, they also face the difficulty of striking the balance between IT and business; technology and strategy. Moreover, CDOs are being readily challenged by the ability to keep data management costs low, whilst adhering to increasingly stringent regulatory demands. As well as producing results and analysis of value to their Government Department/Agency and getting their voices heard.
