In the world of data analytics, there are few that have achieved as much as Bora Arslan, who joined us for this week’s podcast. Arslan has driven data transformation exercises across some of the largest organisations in the world. These organisations include Walmart and Ford in the US, and IAG here in Australia.

On the podcast, Arslan shares many insights from his time as a Chief Data Officer. From his strategies for getting organisational buy-in for transformation, to the ways in which he prefers to build and manage teams, Arslan provides us with a blueprint for how the modern data executive should look at the work that they do.

One of the key messages that Arslan shares is that data analytics executives need to get as close to the organisation as possible. If they report to the CIO and their team is nested within IT, they’ll be seen as a support function, rather than a strategic one. The closer the Chief Data Officer can get to other lines of business and the CEO, the better they can understand the needs of the business and develop strategic and transformative solutions in direct collaboration with the other key stakeholders.

The challenge is that to be able to do this, the data team needs to learn how to speak the language of the other executives and lines of business. This has been one of the key reasons for Arslan’s ongoing success in his own roles.

Tune in to hear more great insights from one of the real thought leaders in our space!
