My 2023 Predictions for Chief Data Officers

The role of the CDO will not suffer the slow rise to prominence other emerging C-level roles have seen in previous years. Modern technologies designed to easily centralize, access, analyze, share, and monetize data have arrived.

40 Characteristics of a Successful Product Manager

If you currently work as a product manager, are thinking about a job in product management, or work with product managers, one thing is certain: you will hear a different definition of what a ‘product manager’ is (or does) from each person you ask.
