We live in a golden age of data and analytics, and opportunities for data professionals abound. Unfortunately, by clinging to outdated mindsets that reinforce the status quo, many data teams struggle to deliver meaningful business value.

There is a better way. By embracing a "data hero" mindset, people at every level of the CDO organization can embody the paradigm shifts needed for data to deliver transformational value. This mindset:

• Sees the refinement of data as an opportunity, not a burden.
• Puts the customer at the center of everything.
• Acknowledges the positive intent of everyone.
• Requires data heroes to model the culture they seek others to adopt.
• Questions the status quo.
