One of the questions we get most often here at the CDO Club is "What do CDOs do?"
And the logical follow-up question, which is "What can I do as a CDO to succeed at my organization?"
That’s why the CDO Club gathered several digital leaders from a variety of sectors for a panel discussing what CDOs do, and the 3 roles CDOs must play in order to succeed in any industry, at the April 2014 CDO Summit hosted by Time Warner in New York City.
The panel identified the similarities and differences in the approach, strategy, and management practices of four digital leaders from a diverse set of sectors, each with his own unique challenges and experiences.
The best place to learn more is at the fast-approaching 3rd CDO Summit (and the first in the UK), presented by Accenture Digital and hosted by BBC Worldwide in London on 29 October.
Find out more below. We hope to see you there!

“Congratulations and thanks to David Mathison for spotting the need for community and collaboration in the growing Chief Digital Officer space, and for having the wherewithal, network, and organizational talent to put together such a top-notch event in its inaugural year. Next year’s summit should be even more of a must-do for anyone working digital at senior levels in all kinds of businesses.”

“David, here’s a handy C^3 test for conference value: Did I learn at least three new perspectives? Check. Did I meet at least three interesting people? Check. Did I take back at least three relevant pieces of news I can use? Check. Flying colors for the Chief Digital Officer Summit 2013! Thank you so much, and yes, I’d be very pleased to participate next year!”

“Sometimes a conference comes along that hits the trifecta – hot topic, high-caliber attendees, and stellar location. The first Chief Digital Officer Summit reached that mark with ease, and I look forward to attending the next one.”
