The document discusses the evolution of the role of Chief Data Officer (CDO) to Chief Analytics Officer and the importance of data science. It notes that organizations are appointing CDOs to address data issues but these roles often lack formal guidance. The CDO role could evolve to focus more on analytics and data science.

It requires multiple skills from domain expertise to technical skills to storytelling. Data scientists can provide a unique customer-centric view of data and opportunities for organizations.
