    The role of IT and business leaders in establishing data driven decision making

    Business leaders seeking to accelerate their digital business aspirations will need to consider how they (and their organization) make decisions. Digital aspirations will be scaled when the organization can take advantage of the ability to make more connected decisions that are more contextualized and operate in a continuous manner.

    Leaders throughout the business and across IT need to work together - each bringing their unique competencies to support the breadth and depth of the art and science of decision making strategy
