We are proud to share that Mike Vaughan, Chief Data Officer, and Arti Deshpande, Senior Technology Solutions Business Partner, have co-authored an article for CIO.com, “Is your business data forward enough to capitalize on what’s coming?”

Together they discuss the importance of businesses adopting a data-forward approach to remain competitive in the evolving digital landscape.

“Everything we do — from automating busywork to driving digital transformation — must tie back to the business purpose. Otherwise, it’s just a solution looking for a problem.

We’ve challenged ourselves and our team leaders to spend time working on the business, not just in the business. We’ve adopted a three-bucket framework to guide that mindset:

  • Protecting the house (maintaining security and core operations)
  • Keeping the lights on (day-to-day operations and incremental improvements)
  • Innovation (both “little i” and “big I” innovation)”
