There is a lot of talk about how the tenure of the Chief Data Officer is a lot less than that of it’s peer level roles (CEO, CIO, CFO etc) 1. Perhaps if organisations put the same amount of rigour into their hiring processes for Chief Data Officers as…lnkd.in/e6mSf8KS

What’s that old phrase about the definition of Insanity ? The Chief Data Officer survey from Gartner sights Talent Acquisition as the biggest barrier to success of Data Analytics initiatives. Thought about changing up the way you hire yet? #dataanalyt…lnkd.in/euEttUyd

The uncomfortable truth with some Data Leadership roles is that if you do a great job, you might be working yourself out of a Job. From the c-suite perspective the person who has built the Data Org from 25 persons to 150 persons, might not be the person…lnkd.in/eKpvx-Be

When hiring Data Analytics Leaders & Data Analytics Talent most companies rely on luck. Because they have no strategy in place to guide their candidate search process they only get access to a small portion of the Talent Universe. So they need luck th…lnkd.in/ewD-rB3M

Yesterday I posted about how a Data Analytics Leader we hired for a large retailer had been wildly successful with demonstrable multi-million revenue directly attributable to their work. But they left, just shy of 2 years. Because there were no further…lnkd.in/ewj2VjHF
