As a new host of CIOs Unfiltered, I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Stone, former CIO of two of the largest retailers in the United States — L Brands and Lowe’s. In our discussion, we unpacked how organizations can take advantage of data and analytics to become a resilient enterprise. We also dove deep into architecture, as a data strategy without an underlying integration strategy, according to Steve, is “like a racecar without a fuel intake system.” Join us as we discuss:
- What it means to have a data strategy and why it’s so important for CIOs today.
- How to establish a scalable architecture and integration framework in order to keep pace with the growing amount of internal and external data that’s available.
- Why underpinning your supply chain strategy with analytics is critical in order to predict change before it happens, and respond effectively.
