Gartner facilitates exclusive, C-level communities by personally qualifying and understanding the priorities, challenges and interests of each member.
Our selective approach maintains the high quality of the network and ensures top-level discussions with peers from the world’s leading organizations.
Each application will be reviewed, and once your membership is confirmed, you will have access to year-round community programs.
Each year, we survey CDAOs within our communities to uncover their key priorities and challenges – both within their function and across the enterprise. Here, we provide an in-depth analysis of the top three priorities for CDAOs in 2025, based on findings from our Leadership Perspective Survey of 850 CDAOs.
For the second consecutive year, data and analytics leaders have identified AI as their top priority. To address ongoing challenges, the Southern California CDAO community recently convened for a town hall to share strategies for overcoming common obstacles, maximizing the ROI of AI initiatives, and ensuring that AI applications are grounded in high-quality enterprise data – These are the key takeaways.
Read ArticleGartner C-level Communities are designed exclusively for C-level executives from the world’s leading organizations. But what truly sets us apart is the way our community is led and shaped: by the Governing Body, a select group of C-level executives who ensure our programs are always relevant, timely, and impactful.
