MISSION OBJECTIVE |
01 |
FREELY SHARE DATA |
Imagine a spy movie where the team never synchronizes watches — or even agrees on a mission objective . They would still be in the headquarters parking lot while the villain stole the gold from Fort Knox . |

Team Members |
Communication is key for beating the data paradox , too . The first step is getting data to flow ( securely ) throughout the organization . Data silos are the enemy of productivity . |
Chief Information Officer
Serves as a liaison between IT and the executive suite , making sure data is securely available wherever it ’ s needed . The CIO serves to coordinate the rest of your data team , without consolidating data to the point where the role becomes a bottleneck .
Data Architect
Responsible for designing a data structure that brings order to the chaos , reduces silos , and promotes the secure exchange of data throughout the organization .
Yet according to recent research , only 17 % of organizations are running initiatives to promote the free sharing of data and less than a third have established cross-functional teams for greater data transparency . *
It ’ s crucial to educate every employee in digital literacy , and give them ready access to data so they can participate in the data economy . After all , you can only make data-driven decisions if you have access to the data .
The key is to treat data curation , storage , analysis and application as a team effort . It ’ s about creating a culture of responsible data governance . In isolation , everyone has their strengths and weaknesses , but together , they ’ re invincible .
