#bigdatamgmt
I think "Chief Analytics Officer" gets to heart o what so-called #CDO manages, per
what drives differentiated outcomes.
@BlairReeves #bigdatamgmt
No. Function might B shared across entire enterprise (e.g., multichannel
engagemt), in which case serves many LOBs
A6:
#bigdatamgmt
The word between "chief" & "officer" could be the
resource, entity, or outcome managed. I think "data" too limiting.
