by Gary Audin You hear, you speak, and read about digital transformation. What is the definition? Who should be in charge? This is when the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) is created. The CDO helps a company, government organization stimulate growth by converting traditional "analog" businesses to digital ones. The CDO uses online technologies and data in the rapidly changing digital sectors to improve productivity, expand the market, and offer products and services that advance the position of the organization.
