Chief Digital Officers Council

The rise of the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) reflects the growth of digital transformation. CDOs are change agents who drive growth and strategic renewal by leading businesses as they transform from traditional to digital. Increasingly, digital strategy and business strategy are indistinguishable. That means increasing demands on the CDO. Whether or not you hold the actual CDO title, if you have the responsibility of leading digital transformation, you have likely felt its new pressures and opportunities in every part of your enterprise.

Amid this seismic change, the Chief Digital Officer Council provides a confidential setting where senior executives can candidly share issues and solutions. Members will drive the Council’s agenda and topics, which may include:

Developing and executing a digital vision/strategy that defines needs across leadership, culture, people, data, process, and technologies
Leading digital change and integration across a large organization while overcoming cultural obstacles and maintaining commitment to vision
Aligning digital strategy to overall business strategy and goals while establishing necessary governance
Predicting opportunities and evolving organizational capabilities, including business model innovation, to capitalize on them
Developing, retaining, and attracting the right talent across analytics, business, data and IT, leveraging both internal and external ecosystems
Getting buy-in for tools and technologies to enable internally (workforce) and externally geared digital solutions
Identifying, prioritizing, and delivering value through digital across business functions and processes
Partnering with internal and external customers to enable and accelerate their digital journey
