Throughout his 15 years at CRU , Blake has witnessed data and analysis play an increasingly important role in the business strategies of customers . “ It ’ s been a huge transformation ,” he notes . “ Generally speaking , data is a lot more prevalent and is consumed from a host of different and new sources , such as increased automation and so on . Volume-wise , we ’ re dealing with so much more information that we analyse , so it ’ s a significant change .”

It ’ s an undeniable fact that the proper use of data to drive decision making is a huge factor in separating the successful from the less so . Accordingly , our Top 10 sees us taking a closer look at the Chief Data Officers of the world ’ s largest companies to understand how they are putting data at the heart of operations .
