How to get C-level buy-in on your data team | Census

The key to getting a seat at the table in nominally "data-driven" companies is not technical know-how, but demonstrating and increasing the impact that your data team brings to your company. To achieve this, you need to establish accountability and trust with stakeholders, match their cadence, score C-level buy-in, and make your data team's role as an 'insights facilitator'. By narrowing down internal "customers", embracing proactive outreach, moving at the same speed as stakeholders, breaking bottlenecks, and demonstrating value, you can secure buy-in from C-level executives to product teams. Ultimately, it's about making data accessible, intuitive, and seamless for all stakeholders, and finding an executive champion to support your data team's growth.
