What Are the Essential Roles for Data and Analytics?

Equip your business with the right competencies by exploring essential data and analytics roles.

Experts:Jorgen Heizenberg, Saul Judah, Alan D. Duncan

Chief data and analytics officers (CDAOs) need to support the opportunities and challenges of today’s digital business with the right competencies. Digital business acceleration will depend equally, if not more, on how you organize data and analytics (D&A) and the required roles, skills and culture to drive transformation.

Talent shortages and poor data literacy are prevalent inhibitors to the success of data and analytics. CDAOs can leverage this research to discover core competencies that support digital transformation by:

  • Understanding the spectrum of D&A roles.
  • Distinguishing between key and supporting D&A roles.
  • Uncovering emerging D&A roles that aid digital transformation.
