Executive Coach – CMU Heinz College Chief Data Officer Certificate Program

Description

Data is being created and collected at an unprecedented volume. Chances are your organization is sitting on troves of data but unsure how to use it. Converting data into real value takes the right skills and savvy leadership to drive a culture of data-driven decision making. Carnegie Mellon University's Chief Data Officer Certificate Program (CDataO) provides current and future CDataOs with the critical strategic insight, management techniques, and analytical capabilities you need to set up a 21st century data management program. In the program, participants will learn the skills they need to be a successful CDataO through targeted interdisciplinary coursework and hands-on practical application, led by world-renowned faculty from Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy and industry experts.

As part of this certificate program participants work in teams, with the support of a Team Executive Coach, to develop or enhance a strategic enterprise data management roadmap for an organization. This plan is designed for participants to apply several of the methods, tools, and techniques taught during the modules of the program.

• Serve as an expert resource to provide high-level guidance, calibration, and feedback to a participant team as they work on required program deliverables.
• Participate on monthly calls with your team to ensure the projects are moving forward and able to meet the established deadlines.
