LONDON, September 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- To lead strategic thinking, manage the control of data, to communicate the business case or all of the above? The Chief Data Officer is responsible for a myriad processes and projects, all designed to use data to drive business value.

However, what are the core values that a Chief Data Officer must possess in order to become an organisation's 'data hero'? The PEX Network team asked a selection of CDOs what it takes to steer a data driven strategy.

This infographic was created ahead of the Chief Data Officer Forum, taking place this November in London. The Summit will provide a unique opportunity for those responsible for data at the most senior level to obtain unique case studies, exchange best practice and common challenges with executive peers.

Additionally, you will be encouraged to plot the maturity of your data management within your organisation and benchmark your current position with indicators formulated by an exclusive global cross industry CDO panel. Use their expertise to define areas for growth and transform your business culture during this interactive workgroup session.
