Change the status quo!
• Keep in mind that the appointment of a
CDO typically comes from a high-level
decision. In practice, it can trigger an
array of problematic reactions within
the organization including:
– Confusion,
– Uncertainty,
– Doubt,
– Resentment and
– Resistance.
• CDOs need to rise to the challenge of
changing the status quo if they expect to
lead the business in making data a
strategic asset.

EXPERIENCE: Succeeding at Data Management—BigCo Attempts to
Leverage Data
PETER AIKEN, Virginia Commonwealth University/Data Blueprint
In a manner similar to most organizations, BigCompany (BigCo) was determined to benefit strategically from
its widely recognized and vast quantities of data. (U.S. government agencies make regular visits to BigCo to
learn from its experiences in this area.) When faced with an explosion in data volume, increases in complexity,
and a need to respond to changing conditions, BigCo struggled to respond using a traditional, information
technology (IT) project-based approach to address these challenges. As BigCo was not data knowledgeable,
it did not realize that traditional approaches could not work. Two full years into the initiative, BigCo was
far from achieving its initial goals. How much more time, money, and effort would be required before results
were achieved? Moreover, could the results be achieved in time to support a larger, critical, technology-driven
challenge that also depended on solving the data challenges? While these questions remain unaddressed,
these considerations increase our collective understanding of data assets as separate from IT projects.
Only by reconceiving data as a strategic asset can organizations begin to address these new challenges.
Transformation to a data-driven culture requires far more than technology, which remains just one of three
required “stool legs” (people and process being the other two). Seven prerequisites to effectively leveraging
data are necessary, but insufficient awareness exists in most organizations—hence, the widespread misfires
in these areas, especially when attempting to implement the so-called big data initiatives. Refocusing on
foundational data management practices is required for all organizations, regardless of their organizational
or data strategies.

1. CASE INTRODUCTION
Good technology in the hands of an inexperienced user rarely produces positive
results.
Everyone wants to “leverage” data. Today, this is most often interpreted as invest-
ments in warehousing, analytics, business intelligence (BI), and so on. After all, that
is what you do with an asset—you leverage it—so the asset can help you to attain
strategic objectives; see Redman [2008] and Ladley [2010]. Widespread and pervasive

improving how the state prices and sells its goods and services, and more efficiently matching
citizens to benefits when they enroll.
“The first year of our data internship partnership has been a success,” said Governor McAuliffe.
“The program has helped the state save time and money by making some of our internal
processes more efficient and modern. And it has given students valuable real-world experience. I
look forward to seeing what the second year of the program can accomplish.”
“Data is an important resource that becomes even more critical as technology progresses,” said
VCU President Michael Rao, Ph.D. “VCU is uniquely positioned, both in its location and
through the wealth of talent at the School of Business, to help state agencies run their data-
centric systems more efficiently, while giving our students hands-on practice in the development
of data systems.”
During their internships, pairs of VCU students work closely with state agency CIOs to identify
specific business cases in which data can be used. Participants gain practical experience in using
data to drive re-engineering, while participating CIOs have concrete examples of how to make
better use of data to provide innovative and less costly services to citizens.
"Working with the talented VCU students gave us a different perspective on what the data was
telling us,” said Dave Burhop, Deputy Commissioner/CIO of the Virginia Department of Motor
Vehicles.
“The VCU interns provided an invaluable resource to the Governor’s Coordinating Council on
Homelessness,” said Pamela Kestner, Special Advisor on Families, Children and Poverty.
“They very effectively reviewed the data assets available in the participating state agencies and
identified analytic content that can be used to better serve the homeless population.”
“It's always useful to have ‘fresh eyes’ on data that we are used to seeing,” said Jim Rothrock,
Commissioner of the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services. “Our interns challenged
us and the way we interpret data. It was a refreshing and useful, and we cannot wait for new
experiences with new students.”
The data internships support Governor McAuliffe’s ongoing initiative to provide easier access to
open data in Virginia. The internships also support treating data as an enterprise asset, one of
four strategic goals of the enterprise information architecture strategy adopted by the
Commonwealth in August 2013. Better use of data allows the Commonwealth to identify
opportunities to avoid duplicative costs in collecting, maintaining and using information; and to
integrate services across agencies and localities to improve responses to constituent needs and
optimize government resources.
Virginia Secretary of Technology Karen Jackson and CIO of the Commonwealth Nelson Moe
are leading the effort on behalf of the state. Students who want to apply for internships should
contact Peter Aiken (peter.aiken@vcu.edu) for additional information.

Data/
Information
IT
Projects
• In support of strategy, organizations
implement IT projects
• Data/information are typically considered
within the scope of IT projects
• Problems with this approach:
– Ensures data is formed to the applications and
not around the organizational-wide information
requirements
– Process are narrowly formed around
applications
– Very little data reuse is possible

IT
Projects
• In support of strategy, the organization
develops specific, shared data-based
goals/objectives
• These organizational data goals/
objectives drive the development of
specific IT projects with an eye to
organization-wide usage
• Advantages of this approach:
- Data/information assets are developed from an
organization-wide perspective
- Systems support organizational data
needs and compliment organizational
process flows
- Maximum data/information reuse

Differences between Programs and Projects
• Programs are Ongoing, Projects End
– Managing a program involves long term strategic planning and
continuous process improvement is not required of a project
• Programs are Tied to the Financial Calendar
– Program managers are often responsible for delivering
results tied to the organization's financial calendar
• Program Management is Governance Intensive
– Programs are governed by a senior board that provides direction,
oversight, and control while projects tend to be less governance-intensive
• Programs Have Greater Scope of Financial Management
– Projects typically have a straight-forward budget and project financial management
is focused on spending to budget while program planning, management and control
is significantly more complex
• Program Change Management is an Executive Leadership Capability
– Projects employ a formal change management process while at the program level,
change management requires executive leadership skills and program change is
driven more by an organization's strategy and is subject to market conditions and
changing business goals

Organizations spend between 20 -
40% of their IT budget evolving their
data - including:
• Data migration
- Changing the location from one place to another
• Data conversion
- Changing data into another form, state, or product
• Data improving
- Inspecting and manipulating, or re-keying data to
prepare it for subsequent use

We are uncovering better ways of developing
IT systems by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Data programmes driving IT programs
Informed information investing driving technologies
Shared data driving IT component evolution
Data reuse preceding new data acquisition
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.

• The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their
Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity
• Amy Webb - Quantitative Futurist | Professor of
Strategic Foresight at the NYU Stern School of
Business | Founder of the Future of Today Institute
• In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive,
invisible ways in which the foundations of AI--the
people working on the system, their motivations, the
technology itself--is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI
will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably,
thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic.
The big nine corporations may be inadvertently
building and enabling vast arrays of intelligent
systems that don't share our motivations, desires, or
hopes for the future of humanity.

Book Recommendation
• The threat has shifted from a totalitarian Big Brother state to a
ubiquitous digital architecture: a "Big Other" operating in the
interests of surveillance capital. Here is the crucible of an
unprecedented form of power marked by extreme concentrations
of knowledge and free from democratic oversight. Zuboff's
comprehensive and moving analysis lays bare the threats to
twenty-first century society: a controlled "hive" of total connection
that seduces with promises of total certainty for maximum profit--at
the expense of democracy, freedom, and our human future.
Who knows?
Who decides? and
