No - someone beside the CIO is covering these responsibilities.

The "Chief Officer" Title

9

• Chief– The head or leader of an organized body of people; the person

highest in authority: the chief of police• Chief Risk Officer (CRO)

– Individual possessing the knowledge, skills, and abilities makes decisions and implements risk management

• Chief Medical Officer (CMO)– Responsible for organizational medical matters. The organization,

and the public, has similar expectations for any of chief officer – especially after Sarbanes-Oxley

• Chief Financial Officer (CFO)– Individual possessing the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be both

the final authority and decision-maker in organizational financial matters

[dictionary.com]


What is the right role to lead data?• How does the organization not get overwhelmed with

logarithmic increases in data volumes, changing business models, colliding ecosystems, increasing regulation?

• Shift in perspective from data as an afterthought to strategic, analytic focus on leveraging data

• How does the organization stay nimble, agile, and responsive in light of this overwhelm?

• Job skill disconnect – how can you optimize the data for business opportunity if you’re not part of the business conversation?
