Why Companies Should Consolidate Tech Roles in the C-Suite

A recent study — sponsored by Thoughtworks (where one of us works) and the MIT Chief Data Officer/Information Quality Symposium — suggests that this is a serious issue. In a survey of 266 technology and data leaders, more than 4 out of 5 reported confusion in their organizations around the roles of different technology-oriented groups and where to turn for data- and technology-oriented services and issues. Only 12% reported no confusion.
