The relatively new role of chief data officer (CDO) has been created to address the issue of managing a company's data as a strategic asset, but the problem is that there is no universally accepted "playbook" for this role.

In this book, Sunil Soares provides a practical guide for today's chief data officers to manage data as an asset while delivering the trusted data required to power business initiatives, from the tactical to the transformative.

Soares provides unique insight into the role of the CDO and presents a blueprint for implementing data governance successfully within the context of the position.With practical advice CDOs need, this book helps establish new data governance practices or mature existing practices.
