Data Strategy and the Enterprise Data Executive

Once organizations recognize that data is a strategic asset, they can develop well-defined data requirements for cross-functional IT projects.

Instead, change must come from higher levels in the organization where a dedicated data program can ensure that benefits from each IT project are fully leveraged across the enterprise.
