Stewarding Data: Why Financial
Services Firms Need a Chief Data Officer
2
Why Chief Data Officers are a Necessity,
Not a Luxury
The C-suite could soon start to feel a little
crowded, with Chief Digital Officers, Chief
Innovation Officers, Chief Risk Officers
and Chief Data Officers joining the more
established functional leaders. To avoid
C-suite proliferation, companies need to
decide whether to elevate a new functional
role to “chief” based on the strategic
importance of the issue for the organization
and its sector. For example, in many
organizations, marketing will be so essential
to performance that few would deny the
need for a CMO. In financial services, data
has become so mission-critical that the role
of Chief Data Officer is simply essential.

Sincethefinancialcrisisin2008,themonetary
impact of regulatory non-compliance has
risen dramatically. Between 2008 and
2013, banks in the US paid more than
$100 billion in penalties and settlements1
.
Tightening regulatory frameworks provide a
telling illustration of why firms need to get
to grips with data. New anti-terrorism and
anti-money laundering legislation requires
that financial institutions track customer
data more closely and report suspicious
activity, or risk attracting enormous legal
fines. Regulations such as “BCBS 239”
developed by the Basel Committee of
Banking Supervision require that banks set
up adequate governance, processes and
systems to ensure the accuracy of data and
the relevance of the reports on which they
base their risk assessment, or risk having
their licenses revoked. Other regulations
- such as the US “Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA)”2
, and the
“Automatic Exchange of Information
(AEOI)” and “Common Reporting Standard
(CRS)” developed by the OECD - demand
that financial institutions provide accurate,
complete and consistent information to tax
authorities to help curb tax evasion.
Despite this pressing need for strong data
controls, the financial services industry still
faces data management challenges, with
institutions struggling with fragmentation,
silos and a lack of clear governance
processes. Critical enterprise information is
often distributed across many operational
systems and databases. In addition, our
research revealed that 54% of financial
services firms lack robust processes to
manage data quality3
. A senior executive
at a leading Australian bank admitted that
“The responsibility around data quality
is fragmented and unclear within the
organization.4

A Leadership Vacuum:Why
Financial Services Firms
Need Chief Data Officers
There is no doubt that financial services
firms need robust data management to
meet growing regulatory pressure. They

by. Our research shows that appointing a
leader entrusted with enterprise-wide data
responsibilities is critical. Across industries,
organizations that have appointed a Chief
Data Officer (CDO) report a 43% success
rate8
for their Big Data initiatives, compared
to 31% for organizations that have not
appointed a CDO9
.
So, where do financial services firms stand
in terms of appointing CDOs? What is the
role of the CDO in these organizations? To
find the answers to these questions, we
interviewed senior executives from leading
global financial services firms (see research
methodology at the end of this paper).

The CDO’s Role in Financial Services Firms
Remains Limited in Scope
Despite Being among the
Earliest to Appoint CDOs,
the Financial Services
Sector has not Fully
Expanded the Role
of the CDO
The financial services industry can
justifiably lay claim to being a pioneer when
it comes to appointing CDOs. The industry
was among the first to designate the role.
US-based bank Capital One appointed
Cathy Doss as CDO as early as 2002.
Cathy Doss is widely considered to be the
world’s first CDO10
. Today, close to 16%
of financial services firms have appointed
CDOs, outstripping many other industries
(see Figure 3)11
. However, our research
revealed that most CDOs focus on specific
aspects of data, such as compliance and
risk management, but only a handful have
mandates that extend to managing their
organization’s overall data strategy (see
Figure 4)12
.

In addition to the Beginners, who are at the
very early stages of their data journey, we
see a range of CDO types.
Process Oriented CDOs. Most CDOs
focus on data management from a
compliance perspective. They concentrate
on defining data management guidelines
andcontrollingtheirimplementation,inorder
to comprehensively address compliance
demands. They oversee a range of
activities including the construction of data
dictionaries, master data management,
identification of critical data domains,
and integration of data quality tools with
legacy systems. These CDOs also strive
to raise awareness of data management
issues across the organization, including
confidentiality and legal aspects. They
also coordinate data management efforts
across IT, business and support functions,
laying out the relevant processes and IT
architecture necessary for an organization-
wide data management program. As the
CDO of a UK-based bank put it: “My overall
objective is to build a stronger control
framework around data.”
Close to 16% of
financial services firms
have appointed CDOs,
outstripping many
other industries.

Value Oriented CDOs
focus on innovation
and value creation
through data, but have
limited data compliance
responsibilities.

the overall data strategy for
their organizations – comprising

The Office of the Process
Oriented CDO is Usually Part of a
Central Support Function
Process Oriented CDOs are usually part
of a corporate support function such
as the central risk, IT or compliance
department. They rely on a central team
with representatives in different business
units and support functions. Given this
focus on compliance, this configuration
limits the CDO’s ability to address other
business needs and priorities.
Big Data Ready CDOs
have a mandate that
includes both data
compliance as well as
value creation from
Big Data.
Value Oriented CDOs. Some CDOs
focus on innovation and value creation
through data, but have limited data
compliance responsibilities. They focus
on generating new opportunities, looking
at Big Data use-cases such as customer
behavior analysis or digital business
intelligence. However, data quality and
compliance does not fall within the scope
of their responsibilities and is generally
managed by the IT function.
Big Data Ready CDOs. Only a minority of
CDOs are responsible for their organization’s
overall data strategy. These CDOs have a
mandatethatincludesbothdatacompliance
as well as value creation from Big Data. They

and roadmap, and prioritize initiatives. When
US-based bank Wells Fargo nominated
A. Charles Thomas as its CDO last year,
it assigned various aspects of a Big Data
Ready CDO’s role to him. Announcing
Thomas’s appointment, the bank said:
“In this new role, Thomas will oversee the
company’s data strategy, provide enterprise
data governance, and determine ways to

and customer experiences.13
”
When we look more closely at these
different types, we also see how their
placement in the organization can constrain
their effectiveness. In particular, their ability
to take a genuine, cross-organization view
(see Figure 5).

Value Oriented CDOs Usually

Value Oriented CDOs tend to be
appointed by a business unit. The CDO’s
office has relatively strong links to the IT
function. Multiple business units may
have their own CDOs to look after their
individual priorities. Such a configuration
limits the CDO’s effectiveness beyond
their business unit.
Big Data Ready CDOs Lead

Structure
Our research shows these CDOs
operating their function as a shared
services center for the entire firm, with
representatives in all business units and
functions. Within such a set up, the
CDO can collaborate effectively with
IT, business and functional leaders to
influence data governance, roadmap,
and policies and drive implementation.

The Road Ahead:How Can Financial Services
CDOs Lead their Organizations towards
Big Data Readiness?
Establish Data as a
Corporate Asset with an
Enterprise-wide Data
Governance Structure
In order to build data-driven organizations,
CDOs will need to begin by ensuring
that data is recognized as a central asset
throughout the organization. This requires
a compelling vision, an expanded scope
of data governance, and a system of
accountability for data.
Align the organization around a
common vision for Big Data. CDOs

helping the organization achieve its business
objectives. They should also ensure that this
vision is communicated to leaders across
lines-of-business, in order to establish a
common understanding around the need for
data-driven decision-making.
Expand the scope of data governance.
Data governance in financial services
firms has traditionally focused on internal,
structured data. However, in a Big Data
world, CDOs will need to expand the scope
of data governance to manage data quality,
privacy and security across varied data
formats – structured and unstructured – and
from internal as well as external sources.
Establish accountability for data.
To ensure that an enterprise-wide data
governance program is effectively
implemented, CDOs will need to identify
individuals with explicit responsibility for
enforcementofdatapoliciesandprocedures.
At US-based brokerage firm TD Ameritrade,
CDO Derek Strauss worked closely with the
heads of the firm’s various business units to
identify “data officers” and “data stewards”
who were responsible for data quality and
control for their business units14
.
In addition, financial services CDOs will need
to take proactive measures to expand their
existing roles. These measures vary based
on the current maturity of the CDO’s role (see
Figure 6).
8
CDOs should focus on
creating a compelling
vision of the role
that Big Data can
play in helping the
organization achieve
its business objectives.
Beginner CDOs Should
Focus on Demonstrating
the Value of Big Data
Given that most financial services
organizations have existing functions that
manage compliance requirements, we
recommend that Beginner CDOs focus
their efforts on Big Data value creation.
However, obtaining resources for large
scale Big Data initiatives can be difficult,
as it is no easy task to define a clear return
on investment. To address this challenge,
Beginner CDOs should first assess the
data landscape within their organizations
to identify existing assets and capabilities,
as well as business problems that can
be addressed rapidly through data. They
should then rollout focused, short-term
projects to address these problems.
This approach demonstrates the value
of Big Data to business leaders and
can persuade them to invest in more
ambitious initiatives.
Process Oriented CDOs
Should Focus on Creating
More Value from Big Data
Process Oriented CDOs will need to
graduate from managing data quality for
regulatory purposes, to generating value
from data.
Tackle Business Challenges
through Big Data
In order to expand their sphere of
influence beyond compliance, Process
Oriented CDOs will need to train their
sights at addressing business challenges
through effective use of data. Global
insurance major MetLife, for instance,
conducted an event that brought together
data scientists and analytics leaders from
diverse departments and business units,
with the aim of sharing best practices
and generating new ideas around the
use of Big Data. At the event, teams of
data experts worked together to identify
ways in which MetLife could address
three major challenges – new product
development, improving customer
retention and increasing operational
efficiency, by harnessing new types of
data and using Big Data technologies.15
“
Address Data Privacy Concerns
The use of data to generate customer
insights and develop new services
raises new challenges with data privacy.
As such, Process Oriented CDOs will
need to take proactive steps to protect
customer data privacy and ensure that
data usage complies with legal and
ethical frameworks. Proactively informing
customers about how their data is
used, and how they can opt-out of data
sharing, are necessary steps to safeguard
the interests of consumers. They will
also need to develop strong policies
and procedures to handle confidential
customer data with care. For instance,
removing any Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) associated with customer
data before it is used can significantly
reduce the risk of privacy breaches.
Adapt Data Sourcing and Storage
Practices for the Digital Age
To maximize the value of Big Data,
Process Oriented CDOs will need to
adapt their organizations’ data sourcing
and storage practices. Retail banks
and insurers, for instance, will need
to source data from multiple sources
including market data feeds, social
media, securities repositories, corporate
directories, credit bureaus and Know
Your Customer (KYC) utilities. In addition,
Process Oriented CDOs will also need
to develop strategies to minimize data
storage costs by identifying data that can
be stored in-house, or kept off-shore.
Process Oriented CDOs
will need to graduate
from managing data
quality for regulatory
purposes, to generating
value from data.
Proactively informing
customers about how
their data is used, and
how they can opt-
out of data sharing,
are necessary steps to
safeguard the interests
of consumers.

Value Oriented
CDOs will need to
progressively adapt
the data management
framework to the needs
of the organization,
extending it gradually
to diverse data sets.
Value Oriented CDOs
focus on making data
available to business
teams in simple, intuitive
and easily digestible
formats that encourage
business executives to
make use of data on a
regular basis.
Value Oriented CDOs
Should Standardize Data
Management and Expand
the Scope of Big Data Usage
Establish an Enterprise-wide
Data Governance Framework to
Industrialize Big Data Initiatives
and Address Compliance
Requirements
High-quality data is a prerequisite not only
for growth, but also for compliance. As
such, Value Oriented CDOs will need to
develop a data management framework
that supports large-scale Big Data rollouts
and which also allows the organization
to meet regulatory demands. Given the
challenges of managing the high volume
and variety of data in financial services
firms, Value Oriented CDOs will need to
progressively adapt the data management
frameworktotheneedsoftheorganization,
extending it gradually to diverse data sets.
For instance, they could begin with defining
rules for the prioritization, storing and
sharing of internal data, before graduating
to external data aggregation and finally,
creating an integrated set of master data
and metadata spanning internal, external,
structured and unstructured data sources.
Actively Promote New Uses of
Data across the Enterprise
Value Oriented CDOs should look to
expand the scope of Big Data usage
beyond the limited number of use-cases
that they typically work on. To achieve
this, they should focus on making data
available to business teams in simple,
intuitive and easily digestible formats that
encourage business executives to make
use of data on a regular basis. Ali Farahani,
CDO for Los Angeles County, for instance,
is focused on making data readily available
to users: “I want to promote a model
where we look at data as a service,” he
says. “The purpose would be to make it
available to all consumers of data, to make
it more readable, in a standard format,
almost as a plug-in so that any consumer
of data in the county can access data
without worrying about what platform it is
in, without worrying about building bridges
to access that data.16
” Value Oriented
CDOs should be similarly mindful of end-
user needs, in order to achieve the shift
towards a data-driven organization.
While the road to Big Data readiness may
be challenging, it promises to lead financial
services firms towards a more secure
future. Process Oriented CDOs must
realize that Big Data initiatives demand
high quality data as they rely on drawing
linkages between internal and external
data. A mature implementation of data
management rules, tools and processes
accelerates the industrialization of Big Data
initiatives. As such, their efforts on building
data quality control mechanisms to meet
compliance requirements, also gives them
a solid foundation on which to launch Big
Data initiatives. Value Oriented CDOs, on
the other hand, may face the difficult task
of building a data management framework.
However, having demonstrated the
value of Big Data as part of their existing
mandates, they are likely to find it easier
to secure funding for a large-scale data
management program.
The perception of data has changed
fundamentally. Data is no longer just seen
as an enabler, but as an organizational
asset that is key to how financial services
firms compete, innovate and grow.
However, many financial services firms,
while realizing the opportunity at hand, are
struggling to seize it. This is why the role of
Chief Data Officer is growing in importance.
It is seen as a means to define and deliver
a coherent, enterprise-wide data strategy.
However, as we have shown, “CDO” is
simply a title. What is more important is
how organizations define the role behind
the title and what power and influence they
give the title-holder. In this paper, we have
outlined how organizations can design a
CDO role that fits with their stage of data
evolution and which maps out how a CDO
can help them achieve a step-change in
their Big Data performance. In this way,
the Data Officer will have earned their
place alongside their CMO, CFO, and CIO
colleagues in the enterprise C-suite.

Crafting a Comprehensive Data Strategy at TD Ameritrade
In 2012, TD Ameritrade, the American online brokerage firm, appointed Derek Strauss as Chief Data Officer. When Strauss took
over, TD Ameritrade lacked a data governance group, its analytics teams were dispersed across the organization, and it relied
solely on an enterprise data warehouse. During the first six months, Strauss spent time understanding the needs of the business,
establishing the scope of his role, and charting out a data strategy for the organization. Over the next few years, he set up the
Enterprise Data and Analytics Group, brought the disparate analytics teams together, built nearly ten new technology capabilities,
and set the stage for targeting high-value business use-cases. In a recent interview, Strauss explained the five key pillars of his role:
Data Governance: Working with the heads of all lines of business to determine ownership of data. Each line of business appoints a
“Data Steward” or “Data Officer” who acts as a local champion for data control, quality, and day-to-day operations. Strauss’s team
works with them to manage and control data-related activities across the organization.
Technology Platforms: Setting up enterprise-wide platforms that allow teams across the firm to leverage data that was previously
inaccessible to them. These include a Hadoop data store, a metadata repository and reference data management system among
others.
Data Science: Building a team of data science professionals to develop best practices and demonstrate how data analytics can
be integrated with business processes.
Data Architecture: Managing data modeling, data quality, metadata management and master data management.
Data Asset Development and Maintenance: Managing the hardware and software-related aspects of the enterprise data warehouse,
the Big Data store and data virtualization.
In his role as CDO, Strauss has closely aligned TD Ameritrade’s data strategy with its business strategy. In Strauss’s words, “the
chief data officer and the data team are responsible and accountable for the four A’s of data: keep it Accurate, allow it to be
Accessible, make it Actionable, and use advanced Analytics to deliver results.”

Research Methodology
In H2 2014, Capgemini Consulting and Efma, the global non-profit association of retail financial services companies, interviewed senior
executives from financial services firms to assess the maturity of the role of the Chief Data Officer in these firms. The assessment
was based on a set of nearly 50 questions around data governance mechanisms, the roles and responsibilities of the CDO, and the
alignment of the CDO organization with business, IT and support functions.
The findings in this report are also based on two recent surveys conducted by Capgemini:
I. A survey to assess the extent to which Big Data sources and technology are being adopted across different sectors and regions
of the world. About 1,000 senior decision-makers from across nine industries including financial services, and 10 countries
worldwide took part in this survey. The study explored the impact of Big Data on businesses and markets and how the acquisition
ofdataisbreakingdowntraditionalindustryboundaries.Thestudyalsolookedathowbusinessesareadaptingtothesechanges.
II. A survey of 226 senior Big Data executives across Europe, North America and APAC, spanning multiple industries including
financial services. The survey targeted senior executives from the Analytics, Business and IT functions, who are responsible for
overseeing Big Data initiatives in their organization. Respondents were asked questions around their organization’s approach to
Big Data governance, data management, skill development, and technology infrastructure.

Stewarding Data : Why Financial Services Firms Need a Chief Data Officier

  • 1. Stewarding Data: Why Financial Services Firms Need a Chief Data Officer
  • 2. 2 Why Chief Data Officers are a Necessity, Not a Luxury The C-suite could soon start to feel a little crowded, with Chief Digital Officers, Chief Innovation Officers, Chief Risk Officers and Chief Data Officers joining the more established functional leaders. To avoid C-suite proliferation, companies need to decide whether to elevate a new functional role to “chief” based on the strategic importance of the issue for the organization and its sector. For example, in many organizations, marketing will be so essential to performance that few would deny the need for a CMO. In financial services, data has become so mission-critical that the role of Chief Data Officer is simply essential. Figure 1: Big Data Opportunities in the Financial Services Sector Source: Capgemini Consulting Big Data Framework Between 2008 and 2013, banks in the US paid more than $100 billion in penalties and settlements. ASilo-edApproachtoData GovernanceRaisesNon- ComplianceRisks Sincethefinancialcrisisin2008,themonetary impact of regulatory non-compliance has risen dramatically. Between 2008 and 2013, banks in the US paid more than $100 billion in penalties and settlements1 . Tightening regulatory frameworks provide a telling illustration of why firms need to get to grips with data. New anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering legislation requires that financial institutions track customer data more closely and report suspicious activity, or risk attracting enormous legal fines. Regulations such as “BCBS 239” developed by the Basel Committee of Banking Supervision require that banks set up adequate governance, processes and systems to ensure the accuracy of data and the relevance of the reports on which they base their risk assessment, or risk having their licenses revoked. Other regulations - such as the US “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)”2 , and the “Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI)” and “Common Reporting Standard (CRS)” developed by the OECD - demand that financial institutions provide accurate, complete and consistent information to tax authorities to help curb tax evasion. Despite this pressing need for strong data controls, the financial services industry still faces data management challenges, with institutions struggling with fragmentation, silos and a lack of clear governance processes. Critical enterprise information is often distributed across many operational systems and databases. In addition, our research revealed that 54% of financial services firms lack robust processes to manage data quality3 . A senior executive at a leading Australian bank admitted that “The responsibility around data quality is fragmented and unclear within the organization.4 ”The responsibility around data quality is fragmented and unclear within the organization. - Senior executive at a leading Australian bank Improve Risks and Pricing Management Enhance Customer Experience Increase Operational Efficiency IdentifyNew Business Models Increase credit score accuracy based on new sources of data (ex: social media data) for improved risk control and more competitive pricing Personalize offerings, identify new cross-sell opportunities and control churn based on deep insights on customer behavior, drawn from multiple sources of data Optimize data management costs using Big Data technologies, improve operational efficiency through straight-through processing and real-time, performance management Monetize raw anonymized customer data or behavioral insights that enable improved market analysis
  • 3. 3 50% of financial services executives cite ineffective coordination of Big Data and analytics teams as the biggest challenge in Big Data implementation. 79% of financial services executives believe that the ability to extract value from Big Data is an important factor in their future success.

According to our research, 79% of financial services executives believe that the ability to extract value from Big Data is an important factor in their future success (see Figure 2)5 . However, once again, a lack of robust control and coordination affects financial services firms’ abilities to deliver their Big Data ambitions. 50% of financial services executives cite ineffective coordination of BigDataandanalyticsteamsasthebiggest challenge in Big Data implementation6 . Further, 48% of financial services firms operate with scattered pockets of analytics resources or with decentralized teams that function without any central oversight7 . 79% 79% 75% 57% % of respondents agreeing with the statement We are facing increased competition from data-enabled startups If we do not embrace Big Data we risk becoming irrelevant / uncompetitive The ability to extract value from Big Data is important for my organization’s future success Big Data provides new business opportunities A Leadership Vacuum:Why Financial Services Firms Need Chief Data Officers There is no doubt that financial services firms need robust data management to meet growing regulatory pressure. They alsocannotlettheBigDataprizepassthem by. Our research shows that appointing a leader entrusted with enterprise-wide data responsibilities is critical. Across industries, organizations that have appointed a Chief Data Officer (CDO) report a 43% success rate8 for their Big Data initiatives, compared to 31% for organizations that have not appointed a CDO9 . So, where do financial services firms stand in terms of appointing CDOs? What is the role of the CDO in these organizations? To find the answers to these questions, we interviewed senior executives from leading global financial services firms (see research methodology at the end of this paper).
  • 4. 4 The CDO’s Role in Financial Services Firms Remains Limited in Scope Despite Being among the Earliest to Appoint CDOs, the Financial Services Sector has not Fully Expanded the Role of the CDO The financial services industry can justifiably lay claim to being a pioneer when it comes to appointing CDOs. The industry was among the first to designate the role. US-based bank Capital One appointed Cathy Doss as CDO as early as 2002. Cathy Doss is widely considered to be the world’s first CDO10 . Today, close to 16% of financial services firms have appointed CDOs, outstripping many other industries (see Figure 3)11 . However, our research revealed that most CDOs focus on specific aspects of data, such as compliance and risk management, but only a handful have mandates that extend to managing their organization’s overall data strategy (see Figure 4)12 . Figure 3: CDO Appointments by Industry Sector N = 1000 Source: Capgemini, “Big & Fast Data: The Rise of Insight-Driven Business”, March 2015 Process Oriented CDOs concentrate on defining data management guidelines and controlling their implementation, in order to comprehensively address compliance demands. 16% 15% 14% 14% 11% 10% 9% 9% 7% Financial Services Oil and Gas Engineering Telecom Healthcare Consumer Goods Public Sector Media Utilities In addition to the Beginners, who are at the very early stages of their data journey, we see a range of CDO types. Process Oriented CDOs. Most CDOs focus on data management from a compliance perspective. They concentrate on defining data management guidelines andcontrollingtheirimplementation,inorder to comprehensively address compliance demands. They oversee a range of activities including the construction of data dictionaries, master data management, identification of critical data domains, and integration of data quality tools with legacy systems. These CDOs also strive to raise awareness of data management issues across the organization, including confidentiality and legal aspects. They also coordinate data management efforts across IT, business and support functions, laying out the relevant processes and IT architecture necessary for an organization- wide data management program. As the CDO of a UK-based bank put it: “My overall objective is to build a stronger control framework around data.” Close to 16% of financial services firms have appointed CDOs, outstripping many other industries.
  • 5. 5 Value Oriented CDOs focus on innovation and value creation through data, but have limited data compliance responsibilities. Figure 4: Maturity of the CDO’s Role in the Financial Services Sector Source: Focus Interviews Conducted by Capgemini Consulting in Partnership with Efma ProcessOriented Big Data Ready Value OrientedBeginner Big Data Value Creation Data Management CDOs that have launched a few Big Data initiatives but have not defined a global approach. CDOs focused on improving data compliance and quality to meet regulator expectations. CDOs focused on generating new opportunities using Big Data. Data quality and compliance is generally managed by IT in these organizations. CDOs responsible for driving the overall data strategy for their organizations – comprising data compliance as well as value creation from Big Data. The Office of the Process Oriented CDO is Usually Part of a Central Support Function Process Oriented CDOs are usually part of a corporate support function such as the central risk, IT or compliance department. They rely on a central team with representatives in different business units and support functions. Given this focus on compliance, this configuration limits the CDO’s ability to address other business needs and priorities. Big Data Ready CDOs have a mandate that includes both data compliance as well as value creation from Big Data. Value Oriented CDOs. Some CDOs focus on innovation and value creation through data, but have limited data compliance responsibilities. They focus on generating new opportunities, looking at Big Data use-cases such as customer behavior analysis or digital business intelligence. However, data quality and compliance does not fall within the scope of their responsibilities and is generally managed by the IT function. Big Data Ready CDOs. Only a minority of CDOs are responsible for their organization’s overall data strategy. These CDOs have a mandatethatincludesbothdatacompliance as well as value creation from Big Data. They identify business-critical data domains, develop the Big Data investment strategy Process Oriented CDOs are usually part of a corporate support function focused on compliance, which limits their ability to address other business needs and priorities. and roadmap, and prioritize initiatives. When US-based bank Wells Fargo nominated A. Charles Thomas as its CDO last year, it assigned various aspects of a Big Data Ready CDO’s role to him. Announcing Thomas’s appointment, the bank said: “In this new role, Thomas will oversee the company’s data strategy, provide enterprise data governance, and determine ways to leveragedataforimprovedriskmanagement and customer experiences.13 ” When we look more closely at these different types, we also see how their placement in the organization can constrain their effectiveness. In particular, their ability to take a genuine, cross-organization view (see Figure 5).

The CDO’s office has relatively strong links to the IT function. Multiple business units may have their own CDOs to look after their individual priorities. Such a configuration limits the CDO’s effectiveness beyond their business unit. Big Data Ready CDOs Lead through an Independent Structure Our research shows these CDOs operating their function as a shared services center for the entire firm, with representatives in all business units and functions. Within such a set up, the CDO can collaborate effectively with IT, business and functional leaders to influence data governance, roadmap, and policies and drive implementation.
  • 7. 7 Source: Focus Interviews Conducted by Capgemini Consulting in Partnership with Efma Figure 6: The Journey to Big Data Readiness The Road Ahead:How Can Financial Services CDOs Lead their Organizations towards Big Data Readiness? Establish Data as a Corporate Asset with an Enterprise-wide Data Governance Structure In order to build data-driven organizations, CDOs will need to begin by ensuring that data is recognized as a central asset throughout the organization. This requires a compelling vision, an expanded scope of data governance, and a system of accountability for data. Align the organization around a common vision for Big Data. CDOs should focus on creating a compelling vision of the role that Big Data can play in Big Data Value Creation Data Management ProcessOriented Big Data Ready Value OrientedBeginner 1 2 Recommended path for CDOs who have developed strong capabilities around data management. Enables “Process Oriented” CDOs to extend their influence from managing data quality for compliance, to applying high quality data to address business challenges. Recommended path for CDOs who have a strong understanding of the business value of Big Data. Enables “Value Oriented” and “Beginner” CDOs to extend their influence from managing a limited set of Big Data use-cases, to rallying the organization around large scale Big Data initiatives. 1 2 helping the organization achieve its business objectives. They should also ensure that this vision is communicated to leaders across lines-of-business, in order to establish a common understanding around the need for data-driven decision-making. Expand the scope of data governance. Data governance in financial services firms has traditionally focused on internal, structured data. However, in a Big Data world, CDOs will need to expand the scope of data governance to manage data quality, privacy and security across varied data formats – structured and unstructured – and from internal as well as external sources. Establish accountability for data. To ensure that an enterprise-wide data governance program is effectively implemented, CDOs will need to identify individuals with explicit responsibility for enforcementofdatapoliciesandprocedures. At US-based brokerage firm TD Ameritrade, CDO Derek Strauss worked closely with the heads of the firm’s various business units to identify “data officers” and “data stewards” who were responsible for data quality and control for their business units14 . In addition, financial services CDOs will need to take proactive measures to expand their existing roles. These measures vary based on the current maturity of the CDO’s role (see Figure 6).
  • 8. 8 CDOs should focus on creating a compelling vision of the role that Big Data can play in helping the organization achieve its business objectives. Beginner CDOs Should Focus on Demonstrating the Value of Big Data Given that most financial services organizations have existing functions that manage compliance requirements, we recommend that Beginner CDOs focus their efforts on Big Data value creation. However, obtaining resources for large scale Big Data initiatives can be difficult, as it is no easy task to define a clear return on investment. To address this challenge, Beginner CDOs should first assess the data landscape within their organizations to identify existing assets and capabilities, as well as business problems that can be addressed rapidly through data. They should then rollout focused, short-term projects to address these problems. This approach demonstrates the value of Big Data to business leaders and can persuade them to invest in more ambitious initiatives. Process Oriented CDOs Should Focus on Creating More Value from Big Data Process Oriented CDOs will need to graduate from managing data quality for regulatory purposes, to generating value from data. Tackle Business Challenges through Big Data In order to expand their sphere of influence beyond compliance, Process Oriented CDOs will need to train their sights at addressing business challenges through effective use of data. Global insurance major MetLife, for instance, conducted an event that brought together data scientists and analytics leaders from diverse departments and business units, with the aim of sharing best practices and generating new ideas around the use of Big Data. At the event, teams of data experts worked together to identify ways in which MetLife could address three major challenges – new product development, improving customer retention and increasing operational efficiency, by harnessing new types of data and using Big Data technologies.15 “ Address Data Privacy Concerns The use of data to generate customer insights and develop new services raises new challenges with data privacy. As such, Process Oriented CDOs will need to take proactive steps to protect customer data privacy and ensure that data usage complies with legal and ethical frameworks. Proactively informing customers about how their data is used, and how they can opt-out of data sharing, are necessary steps to safeguard the interests of consumers. They will also need to develop strong policies and procedures to handle confidential customer data with care. For instance, removing any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) associated with customer data before it is used can significantly reduce the risk of privacy breaches. Adapt Data Sourcing and Storage Practices for the Digital Age To maximize the value of Big Data, Process Oriented CDOs will need to adapt their organizations’ data sourcing and storage practices. Retail banks and insurers, for instance, will need to source data from multiple sources including market data feeds, social media, securities repositories, corporate directories, credit bureaus and Know Your Customer (KYC) utilities. In addition, Process Oriented CDOs will also need to develop strategies to minimize data storage costs by identifying data that can be stored in-house, or kept off-shore. Process Oriented CDOs will need to graduate from managing data quality for regulatory purposes, to generating value from data. Proactively informing customers about how their data is used, and how they can opt- out of data sharing, are necessary steps to safeguard the interests of consumers.
  • 9. 9 Value Oriented CDOs will need to progressively adapt the data management framework to the needs of the organization, extending it gradually to diverse data sets. Value Oriented CDOs focus on making data available to business teams in simple, intuitive and easily digestible formats that encourage business executives to make use of data on a regular basis. Value Oriented CDOs Should Standardize Data Management and Expand the Scope of Big Data Usage Establish an Enterprise-wide Data Governance Framework to Industrialize Big Data Initiatives and Address Compliance Requirements High-quality data is a prerequisite not only for growth, but also for compliance. As such, Value Oriented CDOs will need to develop a data management framework that supports large-scale Big Data rollouts and which also allows the organization to meet regulatory demands. Given the challenges of managing the high volume and variety of data in financial services firms, Value Oriented CDOs will need to progressively adapt the data management frameworktotheneedsoftheorganization, extending it gradually to diverse data sets. For instance, they could begin with defining rules for the prioritization, storing and sharing of internal data, before graduating to external data aggregation and finally, creating an integrated set of master data and metadata spanning internal, external, structured and unstructured data sources. Actively Promote New Uses of Data across the Enterprise Value Oriented CDOs should look to expand the scope of Big Data usage beyond the limited number of use-cases that they typically work on. To achieve this, they should focus on making data available to business teams in simple, intuitive and easily digestible formats that encourage business executives to make use of data on a regular basis. Ali Farahani, CDO for Los Angeles County, for instance, is focused on making data readily available to users: “I want to promote a model where we look at data as a service,” he says. “The purpose would be to make it available to all consumers of data, to make it more readable, in a standard format, almost as a plug-in so that any consumer of data in the county can access data without worrying about what platform it is in, without worrying about building bridges to access that data.16 ” Value Oriented CDOs should be similarly mindful of end- user needs, in order to achieve the shift towards a data-driven organization. While the road to Big Data readiness may be challenging, it promises to lead financial services firms towards a more secure future. Process Oriented CDOs must realize that Big Data initiatives demand high quality data as they rely on drawing linkages between internal and external data. A mature implementation of data management rules, tools and processes accelerates the industrialization of Big Data initiatives. As such, their efforts on building data quality control mechanisms to meet compliance requirements, also gives them a solid foundation on which to launch Big Data initiatives. Value Oriented CDOs, on the other hand, may face the difficult task of building a data management framework. However, having demonstrated the value of Big Data as part of their existing mandates, they are likely to find it easier to secure funding for a large-scale data management program. The perception of data has changed fundamentally. Data is no longer just seen as an enabler, but as an organizational asset that is key to how financial services firms compete, innovate and grow. However, many financial services firms, while realizing the opportunity at hand, are struggling to seize it. This is why the role of Chief Data Officer is growing in importance. It is seen as a means to define and deliver a coherent, enterprise-wide data strategy. However, as we have shown, “CDO” is simply a title. What is more important is how organizations define the role behind the title and what power and influence they give the title-holder. In this paper, we have outlined how organizations can design a CDO role that fits with their stage of data evolution and which maps out how a CDO can help them achieve a step-change in their Big Data performance. In this way, the Data Officer will have earned their place alongside their CMO, CFO, and CIO colleagues in the enterprise C-suite.
  • 10. 10 Crafting a Comprehensive Data Strategy at TD Ameritrade In 2012, TD Ameritrade, the American online brokerage firm, appointed Derek Strauss as Chief Data Officer. When Strauss took over, TD Ameritrade lacked a data governance group, its analytics teams were dispersed across the organization, and it relied solely on an enterprise data warehouse. During the first six months, Strauss spent time understanding the needs of the business, establishing the scope of his role, and charting out a data strategy for the organization. Over the next few years, he set up the Enterprise Data and Analytics Group, brought the disparate analytics teams together, built nearly ten new technology capabilities, and set the stage for targeting high-value business use-cases. In a recent interview, Strauss explained the five key pillars of his role: Data Governance: Working with the heads of all lines of business to determine ownership of data. Each line of business appoints a “Data Steward” or “Data Officer” who acts as a local champion for data control, quality, and day-to-day operations. Strauss’s team works with them to manage and control data-related activities across the organization. Technology Platforms: Setting up enterprise-wide platforms that allow teams across the firm to leverage data that was previously inaccessible to them. These include a Hadoop data store, a metadata repository and reference data management system among others. Data Science: Building a team of data science professionals to develop best practices and demonstrate how data analytics can be integrated with business processes. Data Architecture: Managing data modeling, data quality, metadata management and master data management. Data Asset Development and Maintenance: Managing the hardware and software-related aspects of the enterprise data warehouse, the Big Data store and data virtualization. In his role as CDO, Strauss has closely aligned TD Ameritrade’s data strategy with its business strategy. In Strauss’s words, “the chief data officer and the data team are responsible and accountable for the four A’s of data: keep it Accurate, allow it to be Accessible, make it Actionable, and use advanced Analytics to deliver results.” Source: Network World, “How TD Ameritrade’s Chief Data Officer is driving change”, January 2015; The 8th Annual MIT Chief Data Officer Information Quality Symposium, “How to Establish a CDO Office in Your Organization”, January 2014; LinkedIn, “Derek Strauss, Chief Data Officer at TD Ameritrade”, Accessed March 2015; Hoovers, “Making Room for the Chief Data Officer”, 2014 Research Methodology In H2 2014, Capgemini Consulting and Efma, the global non-profit association of retail financial services companies, interviewed senior executives from financial services firms to assess the maturity of the role of the Chief Data Officer in these firms. The assessment was based on a set of nearly 50 questions around data governance mechanisms, the roles and responsibilities of the CDO, and the alignment of the CDO organization with business, IT and support functions. The findings in this report are also based on two recent surveys conducted by Capgemini: I. A survey to assess the extent to which Big Data sources and technology are being adopted across different sectors and regions of the world. About 1,000 senior decision-makers from across nine industries including financial services, and 10 countries worldwide took part in this survey. The study explored the impact of Big Data on businesses and markets and how the acquisition ofdataisbreakingdowntraditionalindustryboundaries.Thestudyalsolookedathowbusinessesareadaptingtothesechanges. II. A survey of 226 senior Big Data executives across Europe, North America and APAC, spanning multiple industries including financial services. The survey targeted senior executives from the Analytics, Business and IT functions, who are responsible for overseeing Big Data initiatives in their organization. Respondents were asked questions around their organization’s approach to Big Data governance, data management, skill development, and technology infrastructure.
