5. When and Why do you need a CDO?
• When a company needs to
analyze the root causes of what
their digital transformation
needs – To Create the Strategy
for Transformation
• When the CEO realizes that the
company can’t make the change
– can’t cross the chasm – by
itself, as currently constructed. –
to be a Catalyst for Change.
• When the organization is a high
functioning organization, when
the organization has reached
that point, then a CDO is no
longer required.
