As organisations move beyond fragmented tools towards enterprise data platforms, the CDO’s role is evolving from governance and reporting to value creation and business enablement. Anchored in Grant Thornton Ireland’s journey from Excel-based processes to a globally scaled data platform, this session explores how a strong focus on data harmonisation, common data models and clear value definition created the foundation for adoption at scale. Discussing practical lessons on narrowing data to what truly matters, embedding enablement to drive usage, and partnering closely with business to translate data into efficiency, growth and insight, learnings that apply to CDO’s across all industries.
