In the ever-evolving landscape of higher education, the roles of Chief Data Officers (CDOs) and Chief Information Officers (CIOs) have become pivotal in driving institutional resilience and fostering a data-informed culture. This session explores strategies for CDOs and CIOs to establish strategic partnerships, break functional silos, and leverage data governance to enhance decision-making and support student success in higher education. Drawing from practical experiences and best practices, the panel discussion aims to provide actionable insights for attendees to cultivate collaborative data governance efforts in their institutions. Aligning with the insights of the EDUCAUSE Top 10, which underscores the pivotal role of technology, data, and the workforce in advancing institutional resilience across mission, operational, and financial dimensions, participants will gain insights into building valued relationships, deepening knowledge of success levers, and implementing collaborative data governance efforts to drive institutional effectiveness and student success through interactive discussions.
