\"CDOIt seems like an obvious idea – the Chief Data Officer who is ‘in-charge’ of the information assets of a company. \u00a0 As opposed to the Chief Information Officer who cares more about the mechanisms that move the information around.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gartner says the title CDO is increasingly common. \u00a0We think it’s going to be short lived.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let’s use recent history as our guide and look past the trees and into the forest. \u00a0 Three years ago, the pundits said Big Data was the shiny new thing. \u00a0 And the Big Data vendors in vogue sold the components of the infrastructure that could store a lot of information. \u00a0 \u00a0You could look down the road then and ask: Is storing and accessing the data the value – or is turning the data into information the value? \u00a0 And now today, Big Data is just data.\u00a0 Just a technology set for people, mostly developers, to use.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And so it will be with the CDO. \u00a0 We don’t value DATA. \u00a0 We value INFORMATION.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Uh oh.\u00a0 That job title is already spoken for. \u00a0 But there is an answer – a more aspirational title and purpose than data wrangling.\u00a0 Data begets Information, and Information begets Intelligence.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Step back from staring at the bark on one\u00a0tree and you’ll see the Chief Intelligence Officer emerge. \u00a0 What’s their job? \u00a0 Find, distill and distribute intelligence to each executive that needs it – ideally proactively.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Executives the world over scratch around the Internet everyday seeking a tidbit of information that can help them that day. \u00a0 The Chief Intelligence Officer removes that burden with systematic intelligence gathering and distribution to the specific employee who can use it to help the company create predictable growth in an unpredictable market.<\/div>\n
