Fractional CDAO
What is a Fractional CDAO?
Fractional Chief Data and Analytics Officer partnerships are designed to provide access to seasoned data and analytics executives who work part-time or on an interim basis. A Fractional CDAO provides strategic oversight and guidance on data and analytics initiatives, working closely with organizations to develop and execute data strategies, ensuring alignment with business objectives. This is achieved without the need for a full-time commitment, allowing the business to access executive level analytics leadership on a flexible, cost-effective basis.
Key Benefits:

Cost-effective Solution
Fractional CDAO partnerships provide access to seasoned data and analytics leadership on a part-time or interim basis, allowing your company to invest in other parts of the business.

Reasons to Consider a Fractional CDAO:
More than a Consultant
Longer term nature of this partnership allows for consistent thought leadership and eliminates the potentially very unproductive “flavor of the month” scenario when it comes to the strategic direction of the analytics program.
Advice, Support and Guidance
You may already have a number of data leaders in your organization, but they may not have the experience you look for in a CDAO.
Trusted Advisor
Bringing fresh perspectives and insights as well as being the extra set of hands to assist in stakeholder management, budgets, team building or key strategic projects.
Strategic Support
