Global differences of the CDO role | #MITCDOIQ
by Marlene Den Bleyker | Jul 14, 2016 

During the MIT CDOIQ Symposium at the MIT Campus in Cambridge, MA, two people from different parts of the world and at different stages of transitioning into the world of Big Data came together to talk about their roles. And it is clear that there is a very large gap in the way data is used in enterprises in the United States compared to other parts of the world.

Joe Caserta, president of Caserta Concepts, LLC, and Yulan Yuan, professor, Department of Tourism Management, at Jinwen University of Science and Technology, joined Stu Miniman (@stu) and Paul Gillin (@pgillin), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to discuss what they are experiencing in the world of Big Data.

The emerging role of the CDO

The role of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) is a fairly new function within the American enterprise. According to Caserta, who is a 30-veteran in the data space, there has been an evolution of data over that time period. He explained that the CDO is a fairly new role, but in the past few years as data technology has exploded, the role has shifted from purely governance to helping companies monetize data and analytics.

“There is some aspect of divide and conquer, where you have a CDO organization that will have maybe a chief analytics officer, chief data governance officer, and that collection of people will be a new division within an organization,” Caserta said. “From the executive leadership down, data is becoming so critical within an organization. It’s not just a backroom collection of data; it’s become a way of doing business.”

Understanding the role of the CDO

Caserta stated that if you consider the role of the CDO as a technology function, it might be a mistake. “What we are advising our clients to do is more of a collaboration. If your agile, you think of a scrum team with specialists in order to solve a problem. I think the data office, IT, and the business and project management should all come together and bring their own level of expertise,” said Caserta.
