The First 100 Days: Making an Impact as a New CDO

While we all know that it’s important to identify and pursue “quick wins” in a new CDO position, it’s harder than it sounds. Every CDO needs a way to quickly build a mental model of their new organization’s data architecture, pain points, and opportunities to drive value. After serving as a CDO at a national lab in the late 00s, and consulting to CDAOs between 2019 and 2023, I once again returned to the role in late 2023. In this presentation, I share the framework that I developed years ago, adapted to modern cloud-based data management thinking, to quickly assess maturity, pain points, and opportunities for impact along multiple dimensions – even when it seems like there are no quick wins to be found.
