How to Become a Successful Data-Driven Organization w/ Chip Pate

CFO Weekly

These days we're collecting more data than ever. But the data itself is worthless without undertaking the necessary transformation to extract insights from that data. Many organizations fail in achieving that transformation for one reason or another. So, how do you become a successful data-driven organization?
Chip Pate is the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer at SecureLink. He has worked in a variety of financial and accounting roles. Chip started as a Financial Analyst at Applied Materials, moved to CompassLearning, and later was the Senior Director of financial planning and analysis at Websense. He then became Chief Financial Officer at PDI Software and eventually moved to his current role at SecureLink.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How the role of CFO has evolved over the last two decades
- The core of a data-driven organization
- How to overcome organizational resistance when applying data
